In the beginning of September I had a modified Denker's approach with medial maxillectomy with mucosal stripping
Which means my sinus was completely emptied and then mucosal lining stripped to the bone. Technically this is my 3rd debridement. The first two were quite terrible and not filmed.
For backstory: I have posted a video in the popping before, but I’ve had an ongoing sinus infection since 2004. I’ve gone through many surgeries and have been on countless antibiotics. My left sinus has always been the problem child and you will see in the video, the contrast between the right and the left sinus is night and day. The right sinus has only minimally been modified. The left side is just an open hole at this point with nearly all the turbinates removed and yes, mucosa stripped to the bone. The exposed bone is covered right now with avitene. I spent three weeks in the hospital. Which was not expected, but became necessary. I had multiple complications, not really from the surgery but from other health conditions. Feel free to ask me anything !
