OBJECTIVE: We sought to assess the efficacy of facial translocation in the management of @entity5 and paranasal sinuses. STUDY DESIGN AND SETTING: From July 1993 to December 1999, 75 @entity1 , aged 3 to 102 years old, underwent facial translocation. Thirty-three (44%) @entity1 also underwent a combined neurosurgical procedure. Nineteen (25%) had previous surgery. These @entity1 were followed up to 6 years. RESULTS: There were 21 benign and 54 @entity5 . There were no perioperative @entity204 . The morbidity rate was 31%. Of the 54 @entity1 with @entity5 , the actuarial 3-year survival rate was 59%, whereas the local control rate was 54%. CONCLUSION: The facial translocation technique offers favorable exposure of the critical zones of the anterior and middle cranial base, thus facilitating extensive resection and reconstruction. SIGNIFICANCE: This study demonstrates that facial translocation is one of the best surgical approaches to the skull base.

The use of the facial translocation technique in the management of XXXX of the paranasal sinuses and skull base.
