Summary

A new extended lateral rhinotomy incision for total maxillectomy prevents lower eyelid complications. This technique offers advantages over the traditional Weber-Fergusson incision for improved patient outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Head and Neck Surgery

Background:

  • Total maxillectomy is a surgical procedure for removing the maxilla, often indicated for malignant tumors.
  • The Weber-Fergusson incision is a standard approach for maxillectomy but can lead to postoperative lower eyelid complications.
  • Minimizing surgical morbidity while achieving oncological goals is a primary concern in head and neck cancer surgery.

Observation:

  • This study describes an extended lateral rhinotomy incision technique for performing total maxillectomy.
  • The technique aims to provide adequate surgical exposure while mitigating specific postoperative complications.
  • Direct comparison is made with the established Weber-Fergusson incision.

Findings:

  • The extended lateral rhinotomy incision effectively facilitates total maxillectomy.

  • This approach successfully avoids postoperative lower eyelid complications, such as ectropion or retraction.
  • The described method demonstrates comparable or superior outcomes to the Weber-Fergusson incision regarding functional and aesthetic preservation of the lower eyelid.

    • Implications:

    • This modified surgical approach may represent a preferred alternative for total maxillectomy, enhancing patient quality of life.
    • Adoption of the extended lateral rhinotomy incision could reduce the need for secondary reconstructive procedures for eyelid deformities.
    • Further research should evaluate long-term functional and oncological results using this extended incision technique.
