Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Neurosurgery
  • Endoscopic Sinus Surgery

Background:

  • Sinonasal osteomas are challenging benign tumors for ENT surgeons.
  • Surgical intervention is indicated for symptomatic osteomas causing rhinosinusitis or mucoceles.
  • Advancements in endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) instruments have emerged.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present the experience with endoscopic management of paranasal sinus osteomas.
  • To discuss clinical findings, imaging strategies, and surgical techniques.
  • To evaluate the feasibility and outcomes of ESS for sinonasal osteomas.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of patients undergoing ESS for sinonasal osteomas (2003-2010).
  • Analysis of clinical records, preoperative imaging, and surgical approaches.

  • Comparison of standard ESS instruments with newer technologies.

    • Main Results:

    • 29 patients (13 male, 16 female; mean age 49.5 years) were treated.
    • Osteomas located at frontoethmoidal junction (14), frontal sinus (6), ethmoid (6), sphenoid (1), and maxillary (1).
    • No major complications or recurrence observed during a mean follow-up of 52 months.

    Conclusions:

    • Endoscopic removal of sinonasal osteomas is feasible.
    • Lesion location and size are critical considerations for surgical success.
    • Newer ESS instruments enhance the safety and effectiveness of osteoma removal.
