Abstract
This study examined the effects of varying degrees of endoscopic sinus surgery on the growing midface and snout in pigs. In this randomized, controlled experiment, thirty 40-60 pound pigs were placed in five experimental groups: (1) unilateral uncinectomy; (2) bilateral uncinectomy; (3) unilateral uncinectomy, anterior ethmoidectomy, maxillary antrostomy; (4) bilateral uncinectomy, anterior ethmoidectomy, maxillary antrostomy; (5) unoperated controls. Animals were killed after 3 months and growth was assessed, according to linear and spatial measurements of multiple craniofacial regions. Euclidean distance matrix analysis showed significant restrictive shape alterations in a linear fashion in groups 1-4 (p < .05). These alterations occurred in the surgical field of the snout, midsnout, and maxilla. Endoscopic sinus surgery causes significant restrictive effects in the growing porcine facial skeleton.
