OPERATIVE REPORT

PATIENT: TIMOTHY INPATIENT
RECORD NUMBER: 74-50-77
DATE OF SURGERY: 03-16-XX
SURGEON: DR. ALEX, M.D.
PREOPERATIVE DIAGNOSIS: Chronic left maxillary sinusitis.
POSTOPERATIVE DIAGNOSIS: Chronic left maxillary sinusitis.
OPERATIVE PROCEDURE: Left Caldwell-Luc.
DESCRIPTION: The patient was brought to the operating room and induced into general oral tracheal anesthesia. He was positioned, prepped, and draped in the standard fashion. 1% Xylocaine with 1:2100, 000 epinephrine was infiltrated locally into the left sublabial canine fossa. 5% cocaine on cottonoids was placed in the nostrils bilaterally. A sublabial incision was made and carried down to bone. The antrum was entered with a gouge and mallet and the enterotomy was enlarged with a Kerrison rongeur. Sinus was full of extremely thick inspissated mucous, which required a pituitary forceps to remove, as it was much too thick to be suctioned. A culture was obtained. Interestingly, aside from a few very small sessile polyps along the left lateral wall, the sinus mucosa appeared reasonably healthy. A large nasal antral window was then created by egg shelling the bone over the medial wall of the sinus and creating an inferiorly based flap of nasal mucosa, which was turned into the sinus. Hemostasis was achieved with electrocoagulation. No packing was necessary. The sublabial wound was closed with interrupted 4-0 chromic.
The patient tolerated the procedure well. His throat was thoroughly suctioned and he was awakened, extubated, and taken to the recovery room in satisfactory condition. There were no complications.
