However, the incidence of absent prelacrimal recess (PLR) has ranged from 7% to 17.5%, implying that there is a limitation for the application of EPLA in this population. Here, a male patient with concomitant Krouse T2 maxillary inverted papilloma and mycetoma presenting with unilateral nasal obstruction and blood-tinged secretion is described. The presurgical computed tomography showed no recess. By dislocating the nasolacrimal duct from the bony canal and removing the medial maxillary wall sufficiently to extend the surgical corridor; and by preserving the inferior turbinate, nasal mucosa, and nasolacrimal duct, the patient did not experience any postoperative complications. In conclusion, our modified technique may be an effective and safe strategy for treating maxillary sinus disease without prelacrimal recess.Currently, many countries all over the world are facing the second wave of COVID-19. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the spatial distribution of COVID-19 cases, epidemic spread rate, spatial pattern during the first to the second waves in the South Sumatra Province of Indonesia. This study used the geographical information system (GIS) software to map the spatial distribution of COVID-19 cases and epidemic spread rate. The spatial autocorrelation of the COVID-19 cases was carried out using Moran's I, while the Pearson correlation was used to examining the relationship between meteorological factors and the epidemic spread rate. Most infected areas and the direction of virus spread were predicted using wind rose analysis. The results revealed that the epidemic rapidly spread from August 1 to December 1, 2020. The highest epidemic spread rate was observed in the Palembang district and in its periphe
