title: State-of-the-art for osteoplastic frontal sinus operation.
abstract: Endoscopic ethmoid and frontal sinus surgery have reduced but not eliminated the indication for the osteoplastic adipose obliteration operation. An updated technique for this operation is presented for treating chronic frontal sinus disease, cerebrospinal fluid leakage by way of frontal sinus, and sinucutaneous fistulae.
