Abstract: When performing implantation in the posterior maxillary region, the clinical condition of insufficient residual alveolar bone often occurs. External maxillary sinus lifting surgery can achieve the purpose of vertical bone reconstruction, which has become a common clinical means. Because of the influence of anatomical structure variation of maxillary sinus, such as thickening of mucosa, existence of septum, and deviation of maxillary sinus artery , intraoperative and postoperative complications are not rare, such as perforation of the Schneiderian membrane, intraoperative hemorrhage, maxillary sinusitis, and etc. In this paper, the anatomical structure and research progress related to surgical complications were summarized.

Key words: External maxillary sinus lifting surgery, Anatomy of maxillary sinus, Complications
