PROCEDURE NOTE:  The patient was prepped in sterile fashion with Betadine.  He was given 1 cc of 2% Lidocaine without epinephrine for anesthesia.  A sterile glove and prep was used throughout.  He did have a #11 blade incise approximately ½ inch wound with a large amount of pus.  This was drained and loculations were also broken up and drained.  He tolerated the procedure well without complication.  He was packed with approximately 4 cm of Iodoform gauze, which is ½ inch.  He tolerated this well.  Sterile dressing as well as KLING was placed on this.  He was advised to strictly keep this dry until tomorrow when he is reevaluated.

there must be two openings in the nasal cavity.  Ostium means opening.  Meatus means opening also.  So if it is as you say, then ostium (opening) meatal (opening) complex is what you are referring to.   Plus that, there is no such word as ostio. 


I was referring to the osteum (bone) and meatus (opening) or the osteomeatal complex of the nose.
