[Osteoplastic surgery of the frontal sinus: indications, procedures and results apropos of 75 cases].
In a retrospective study we have evaluated 75 osteoplastic frontal sinus operations performed in Fulda (Germany) between 1979 and 1993. Fractures, infections, tumors and pneumatosinus represent the indications for surgery. The frontal sinuses were obliterated in 31 cases. The average duration of follow up was 3.8 years. The overall results were very good and without serious complications. Only one revision was necessary.
