title: [Experience with evacuable maxillary sinus endothesis for orbital and maxillary trauma].
abstract: Results with a deflatable anatomically designed Endothesis for the reduction of fractures of the antral walls, especially the orbital floor. For the treatment of the fractures of the antral walls, especially of the extended fractures of the orbital floor, after repositioning through the maxillary sinus, treatment is necessary which supports the maxillary sinus and which, being effective in all directions, protects the ciliated epithelium and guaranties the drainage of secretions. After anatomical preexaminations three differently large hollow models for the maxillary sinus made of thin-walled silicon were developed. These "Endotheses" were implanted through a facial window into the maxillary sinus and are to be filled by way of nasal drain with contrast fluid. 51 patients were subjected to clinical, x-ray and, in selected cases, endoscopic post-control.
