Endonasal surgery offers a safe and effective treatment for antrochoanal polyps, avoiding recurrence and complications. This minimally invasive approach presents a valuable alternative to traditional methods for nasal and sinus pathologies.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Rhinology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Antrochoanal polyps are a specific pathology affecting the nasal fossae and sinuses.
  • Traditional surgical removal often involves the Caldwell-Luc approach.
  • Various pathogenic mechanisms and surgical techniques have been documented.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the advantages of endonasal surgery for antrochoanal polyps.
  • To compare endonasal surgery with other surgical procedures.
  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the endonasal approach.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 12 cases treated between 1996 and 1998.
  • Diagnosis confirmed by clinical, CT-scan, and pathological data.
  • Surgical technique involved endonasal approach with extended middle meatotomy, and in 3 cases, inferior meatotomy.

Main Results:

  • The polyp pedicle was systematically coagulated at its maxillary implantation site.
  • No recurrences were observed in any of the cases.
  • No operative complications were reported during the study period.

Conclusions:

  • Endonasal surgery is a safe and effective treatment for antrochoanal polyps.
  • This approach demonstrates no recurrence or operative complications.
  • The endonasal technique is a viable and advantageous alternative to conventional surgical methods.
