“…According to studies by Maran et al (1971), Anthony employed the first antral balloon via the intranasal route in 1952, which is how the treatment for treating comminuted fractures of the maxillary sinus was developed [4]. In this technique, the direct sublabial technique was avoided.…”

“…Maran et al also said that in 1956, Jackson described two cases wherein they adopted the Shea-Anthony balloon catheter once more with the same approach in conjunction with external traction via Gillie’s temporal approach [ 4 ]. He also said that Jaraback used the 30 cm Foley catheter sublabially and transantrally after manual reduction, which was later modified by Gutman using intranasal antrostomy in 1965 via a sublabial transantral approach [ 4 ].…”

The purpose of the study was to assess the clinical outcome of patients by using n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate in the management of comminuted fracture segments of the anterior wall of the maxillary sinus in the zygomatico-maxillo-facial complex region. Material and methodsA prospective study was done at a tertiary care teaching institute in India with a study population of ten patients in a single group. The method of recruitment was a convenient sampling method. Out of all the study subjects, three patients had isolated maxillary sinus wall fractures, whereas the remaining seven had other associated facial fractures that required stable fixation with mini plates. The comminuted fractures of the anterior wall of the maxillary sinus were carefully reduced through an intra-oral approach, and n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate was applied over the edges of fractured segments. The segments were left undisturbed for one minute and closed with a 3-0 vicryl. The outcome variables, namely bone alignment visualised through computed tomography (CT) scan postoperatively, paresthesia or hypoesthesia of the infraorbital nerve, postoperative infection, and wound dehiscence, were noted at one-week, one-month, three-month, and sixmonth intervals. Data were analysed using the Chi-square test. ResultsAmong all patients, seven had satisfactory bone alignment. A total of seven patients recovered from hypoesthesia of the infraorbital nerve. The association of bone alignment with hypoesthesia or paresthesia revealed a highly significant p-value (0.002) using the Chi-square test. Also, an association between postoperative infection and wound dehiscence showed substantial results with a p-value less than 0.05. ConclusionGood bone alignment was seen postoperatively in 70% of patients. The cyanoacrylate used had no adverse reactions, and its application was restricted to non-load-bearing areas in this study. Further studies with a higher level of evidence and a larger sample size are needed to validate the use of adhesives for bone fixation in other regions of the face.

“…[1][2][3][4] • Reduction of the facial fractures: Foley catheter has been used for orbital, unstable zygomatic arch and corpus fractures. [5,6] • Reconstruction of the orbital floor: A Foley catheter was placed into the maxillary sinus to provide temporary support for the lyophilized tensor fascia lata graft. [7] • Eye socket reconstruction: Foley's catheter has been used for 2 purposes in this situation: to keep the skin bag bulging and to drain the exudates in the skin bag.…”
