Abstract

Anterior ethmoidal artery ligation is a well-established surgical procedure in the management of epistaxis. We describe a procedure of anterior ethmoidal artery ligation via minimal access external surgery with the use of a rigid endoscope. This is, as far as we are aware, the first description of an external approach endoscopic anterior ethmoidal artery ligation.
