Frontal sinusitis cases refractory to conservative treatment can be considered for a surgical intervention including procedures such as: functional endoscopic sinus surgery or FESS (a minimally invasive surgical remedy for frontal sinusitis), trephination, external frontoethmoidectomy (Lynch approach, Killian approach, Reidel method, and Lothrop/Chaput-Meyer technique), osteoplastic frontal sinus procedure, and endoscopic frontal sinus procedures.
This allows the lamina to be removed as a single unit which speeds the laminectomy process and allows re-attachment of the lamina with small bone plating systems for an osteoplastic laminectomy.
