Another Five Landmarks to Make You a Better Sinus Surgeon (AMW)
2020 AAO-HNSF Annual Meeting & OTO Experience
This session will present a novel set of new landmarks to assist sinus surgeons as they navigate the maze of sinonasal anatomy: 1) turbinate pump, 2) maxillary-ethmoid plate, 3) sphenoid line, 4) Ting's triangle, 5) El Toro sign. Experience in teaching residents and fellows the art of rhinology for over 25 years has demonstrated the usefulness of these structures in the performance of safe and effective sinus surgery. Material presented in this session will be relevant to both novice and seasoned surgeons.

Material presented in this session will be relevant to both novice and seasoned surgeons.Learning Objectives: 1. Review five new landmarks to enhance the performance of endoscopic sinus surgery. 2. Describe the importance of the turbinate pump and maxillary-ethmoid plate to enhance endoscopic access during sinus surgery. 3. Utilize the sphenoid line and El Toro signs in the surgical treatment of patients with sphenoid and frontal sinus disease.Faculty: Ralph Metson, MD(Nothing to Disclose).
