Abstract
A transseptal approach to the sphenoid sinus with a sublabial incision was once frequently performed in pituitary surgery. We modified the transseptal approach as EETA with the use of an endoscope and endonasal incision. This approach is practical and reliable for ESS, and may serve as an alternative for difficult-to-manage sphenoid sinus disease. EETA can be performed in the office as it can be achieved under local anesthesia without a navigation system.
