Summary
This study refined endoscopic surgery for nasal inverted papilloma (IP), achieving a 95.7% success rate with minimal recurrence. The technique combines YAG laser irradiation and a shaver system for effective treatment.
Area of Science:
- Otolaryngology
- Surgical Oncology
- Minimally Invasive Surgery
Context:
- Nasal inverted papilloma (IP) presents a significant challenge due to high recurrence rates after surgical removal.
- Previous treatments for IP in 51% of patients involved 1-3 prior operations, indicating treatment resistance.
- Tumor extension into surrounding sinonasal structures necessitates advanced surgical approaches.
Purpose:
- To optimize endoscopic surgical techniques for nasal inverted papilloma (IP).
- To reduce the incidence of postoperative recurrence of nasal IP.
- To evaluate the efficacy of transnasal endoscopic surgical procedures (TNESP) and combined approaches.
Summary:
- Forty-seven patients with nasal IP underwent endoscopic surgery, with 36 treated via TNESP and 9 via combined transnasal and Caldwell-Luc endoscopic procedures (CTESP).
- The surgical technique incorporated YAG laser irradiation to minimize bleeding and a shaver system for tumor removal.
- Postoperative follow-up for 12-40 months revealed a recurrence rate of 4.3%, with minor recurrences managed effectively by repeat laser treatment.
Impact:
- The described endoscopic surgical technique, utilizing YAG laser and a shaver system, demonstrates high efficacy in treating nasal inverted papilloma.
- This approach significantly decreases recurrence rates, offering a more successful long-term outcome for patients.
- The study establishes a refined, effective endoscopic surgical protocol for managing complex sinonasal inverted papillomas.
