A member asked:
Is a sinustomy part of a surgery to repair an oaf in right maxillary sinus ? my surgery included a bone graft (oaf the size of cannellini bean).

It is a broad term.: A sinustomy is a broad term meaning the creation of an opening into the sinus. You are having the reverse procedure performed. You already have a communication from the mouth to the sinus which is being repaired by a bone graft.
