Morphometrics of the Anatomical Lacrimal‐Ethmoid Relationship: Examination of Racial Variation for Maxillectomy Surgical Procedures
The medial maxillectomy operation is an aggressive surgical procedure directed at total en bloc extirpation of tumors that involve the ethmoid labyrinth and medial orbital wall. It is the procedure of choice for sinonasal tumors that extend to the cribriform plate, fovea ethmoidalis, and orbit. Dete...
