Sequence of the biopsy. (a) Fluid aspiration. (b) Suctioning of the decompressed pseudocyst. (c) Delivery of the lesion out of the antrum. The blue arrow points to the lateral window osteotomy, the green arrow points to the additional circular osteotomy, and the red arrow points to the antral pseudocyst (held by the artery forceps).

Use of the artery forceps and suction to deliver the lesion (Patient 1). The blue arrow points to the lateral window osteotomy, the green arrow points to the additional circular osteotomy, and the red arrow points to the AP.

Use of the suction to check for integrity of the sinus membrane. By using the suction, a negative pressure was created within the sinus cavity (Patient 4). This will lift up the sinus lining from the lateral window osteotomy site if there was not perforation. The blue arrow points to the lateral window osteotomy, the green arrow points to the additional circular osteotomy, and the yellow arrow points to the sinus membrane.
