Repetitive Movements

Endoscopic sinus surgery is a rapidly advancing area of Otolaryngology. Operations can be lengthy and are often performed by a single surgeon. Repetitive movements can also lead to muscular fatigue. To mitigate against this, we regularly deploy two retractable Flexi™ compact leads, one bigger than the other connected together and suspended from the theatre operating light arm using velcro ties. The leads are then wrapped around the endoscope using a cotton crepe bandage, in a double loop with a reef knot. The larger lead attaches to the focus/zoom adjustment part of the endoscopic camera, and the smaller lead attaches to the scope 20 cm from the tip allowing the scope to float when suspended, with a slight downward tilt towards the patient. The mechanical effect this produces allows an advantageous reduction in the scope’s weight from 404 g un-suspended, to 65 g with the setup described. This subsequently reduces stress on the elbows, shoulders neck and lumbar spine. The Swansea Floating Endoscopic Assistant adheres to basic ergonomic principles and has the potential for application in other areas of Otorhinolaryngology and Skull Base Surgery.

Primary Treatment Modality

Abstract Background Surgery is often indicated for definitive biopsy or as the primary treatment modality for pediatric skull base lesions. Traditionally, open surgical approaches were utilized to address pediatric skull base pathology. However recently, expanded endoscopic sinus surgery has been utilized as a minimally invasive approach to addressing skull base pathology in the pediatric population. Purpose This review provides an overview of the current literature evaluating the unique anatomic challenges of the pediatric skull and the safety and efficacy of expanded skull base procedures in the pediatric population. Findings The pediatric skull base and sinus anatomy is small and continues to develop throughout childhood leading to unique surgical challenges. Sphenoid sinus pneumatization and intercarotid distance at the skull base are two significant anatomic challenges to pediatric skull base surgery. Despite the distinctive anatomy challenges, recent studies demonstrate that the safety and efficacy of expanded endoscopic sinus surgery appear to be equivalent to traditional open surgical approaches. Conclusion Expanded endoscopic sinus surgery in the pediatric population has similar efficacy and safety as the traditional open approaches.

AbstractOver the past several decades, endoscopic sinus surgery has revolutionized the approach to skull base surgery. Open skull base approaches remain a viable option for advanced skull base tumors. Complications have gone down with increased reliability of vascularized tissue transfer. In this article, the authors explore the various complications that can present following skull base surgery and review the approaches for repair when such issues are encountered.
