Abstract
The lateral rhinotomy approach is one of the most commonly used techniques for exploration of the difficult sinonasal masses. Though endoscopic advances have progressed rapidly since last few years, but the excellent exposure provided by the lateral rhinotomy approach makes it suitable for resection of sinonasal masses with extensive spread. Our study is an attempt to establish the different spectra of pathologies encountered in the sinonasal region, which were removed by the lateral rhinotomy approach and to establish its importance in the context of modern rhinological surgeries.
