Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Tumors were totally resected under endoscope and lateral pedicled nasoseptal flaps were applied for covering the exposed bone around frontal neo-ostium. The pedicled nasoseptal flaps were applied in the experimental group and no flap was applied in the control group.
The pedicle of the flap was designed to be on the frontal process of the lateral nasal wall. The lateral anterior incision was approximately 1 cm anterior to the maxillary line, with the medial anterior limit in parallel on the septum. The lateral posterior limit was the maxillary line and medial posterior limit parallel to the anterior limit where the first branch of the anterior ethmoidal artery arises on ethmoidal roof. The lower limit of the septal part was at the level of the lower border of the middle turbinate. The flap was carefully elevated from the cartilage and bone, particularly the supra-axillary and olfactory fossa part. The flap was then persevered posteriorly in the nasal floor or maxillary sinus for subsequent use. The contralateral flap was harvested and preserved in a similar manner. Type 1 flaps consisted of mucosa over the lateral nasal wall, and type 2 flaps consisted of the aforementioned mucosa and corresponding septal mucosa.
All patients were followed up for at least 12 months, and the nasal cavity was assessed and cleaned regularly under endoscopy. The neo-ostium section area was compared to that at the end of surgery. Epithelization was identified if the neo-ostium were smooth without edema, discharging or crusting after surgery under endoscope. The time required for epithelialization of each patient was also recorded. Restenosis was defined as \>50% reduction in the section area at 12 months postoperatively.

Procedure/Surgery: lateral pedicled nasoseptal flaps applied in Draf III procedure
The standard Draf III procedure was performed as described by Gross and Wormald using an "outside-in" technique. The cranial portion of the nasal septum was removed, and the frontal process of the maxilla and frontal beak were carefully abraded, resulting in the "frontal T". Distinct to the procedure of Gross and Wormald, the frontal T was then lowered to the first branch of the anterior ethmoidal artery instead of the first olfactory fibre. Tumors were totally resected under endoscope and lateral pedicled nasoseptal flaps were applied for covering the exposed bone around frontal neo-ostium. Type 1 flaps consisted of mucosa over the lateral nasal wall, and type 2 flaps consisted of the aforementioned mucosa and corresponding septal mucosa.

Type 1 flaps consisted of mucosa over the lateral nasal wall, and type 2 flaps consisted of the aforementioned mucosa and corresponding septal mucosa. After Draf III procedure, type 1 flaps were used to cover the bare bone of the ipsilateral frontal process and part of the ipsilateral anterior frontal table, which also constituted the bare bone area of the Draf II procedure. Type 2 flaps were used to cover for the bare bone of the ipsilateral frontal process and bilateral anterior or posterior frontal table.
Procedure/Surgery: no flaps applied in Draf III procedure
The standard Draf III procedure was performed as described by Gross and Wormald using an "outside-in" technique. The cranial portion of the nasal septum was removed, and the frontal process of the maxilla and frontal beak were carefully abraded, resulting in the "frontal T". Distinct to the procedure of Gross and Wormald, the frontal T was then lowered to the first branch of the anterior ethmoidal artery instead of the first olfactory fibre. Tumors were totally resected under endoscope and no flaps were applied.
Draf III procedure without any flap applied
The standard Draf III procedure was performed as described by Gross and Wormald using an "outside-in" technique. The cranial portion of the nasal septum was removed, and the frontal process of the maxilla and frontal beak were carefully abraded, resulting in the "frontal T". Distinct to the procedure of Gross and Wormald, the frontal T was then lowered to the first branch of the anterior ethmoidal artery instead of the first olfactory fibre.
