Abstract
Even with the widespread use of minimally invasive endoscopic sinus surgery, the treatment of complicated frontal sinus disease remains very challenging, and obliteration of the sinus often is indicated. A variety of materials have been used for obliteration of the frontal sinus; however, the search for the ideal technique persists. The well-vascularized anteriorly based pericranial flap, described in this article, is a safe, effective, and viable method of frontal sinus obliteration.
