title: [Possibilities and prospects for surgical obliteration of frontal sinuses with the use of osteoplastic MK-9M glue composition in patients with chronically recurring and post-traumatic frontitis].
abstract: This study included analysis of the results of treatment of 136 patients at the age from 19 to 92 years presenting with pathological changes in the frontal sinuses. 126 of them had undergone surgery for the treatment of inflammatory diseases, osteomas, and injuries to the frontal sinuses in the preceding period. 62.7% of the patients in the latter group developed relapses of the disease; therefore, 44.1% of them needed the second operation. In order to improve the efficiency of treatment of chronic recurrent and postoperative frontitis, radical operation on the frontal sinuses in 56 patients was completed by obliteration of the sinus using the osteoplastic composite material MK-9M. Dynamic observations during the three subsequent years demonstrated stable recovery in all the 56 patients.
