The Usefulness of Surgical Titanium Microclips for Mucosal Repair in the Frontal Sinus Using ORBEYE: A Technical Note

Bifrontal craniotomy frequently involves opening the frontal sinus and mucosal injury. We report a new technique for mucosal repair in the frontal sinus using surgical titanium microclips. Six consecutive patients who underwent bifrontal craniotomy with frontal sinus exposure and mucosal injury unde...

description Bifrontal craniotomy frequently involves opening the frontal sinus and mucosal injury. We report a new technique for mucosal repair in the frontal sinus using surgical titanium microclips. Six consecutive patients who underwent bifrontal craniotomy with frontal sinus exposure and mucosal injury underwent mucosal repair using surgical titanium microclips between April 2019 and August 2022. In all cases, the frontal sinus mucosa was peeled from the inner walls of the frontal sinus to ensure sufficient mucosal margin for clipping using ORBEYE. The repair was accomplished with the microclips in all cases. We also sealed the mucosal wound using fibrin glue and sufficiently filled the frontal sinus with bone debris, resulting in zero incidence of postoperative liquorrhea in all cases. Repairing the mucosa using surgical titanium microclips using ORBEYE may be a simple and quick technique when the frontal sinus mucosa is injured during craniotomy.
