Preceding a endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS), we have proposed performing a submucosal partial-turbinectomy (SPT) which removes a part of the inferior nasal concha bone attached to maxillary sinus with an antrostomy. By this method, we could not only make a large antrostomy but also obtain good maneuverability by opening the middle nasal meatus in ESS. We performed SPT preceding ESS in 140 cases (261 sides) between January 2012 and June 2014. The stenosis rates of the middle nasal meatus were 14.2% (37 sides from 261 sides) in one month, 7.4% (18 sides from 243 sides) in three months and 3.7% (6 sides from 163 sides) in 6 months after surgery. The closing rates of the antrostomy were 1.5% (4 sides from 261 sides) in one month, 2.9% (7 sides from 243 sides) in three months and 6.7% (11 sides from 163 sides) in 6 months after surgery. We considered that the SPT method would contribute to secure sufficient ventilation routes for wound healing of sinusitis following surgery on the mucous membrane. In addition, the SPT method has merit from the point of deceasing risks of atrophic rhinitis and empty nose syndrome by preserving most of the inferior nasal concha.
