Abstract

The lateral rhinotomy signifies only an incision and not on operation and a lateral rhinotomy incision with osteotomy of the nasal bones provides access to the entire nasal cavity and maxillary, ethmoid, and sphenoid sinuses as well as the frontal sinus if the floor is removed, permitting removal of benign lesions at these sites and en bloc resection of the ethmoid labyrinth and the party wall between the nasal cavity and antrum with infiltrating tumors. The authors treated a tumor patient and a midfacial bone fracture patient via lateral rhinotomy approach and had a good result. So we report the cases with literature review.
