Endoscopic medial maxillectomy (MM) offers a less invasive alternative to open surgery for maxillary sinus tumors. This technique is effective with minimal complications, providing a successful treatment option.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Endoscopic Sinus Surgery
  • Head and Neck Surgery

Background:

  • Medial maxillectomy (MM) traditionally involves open surgery for medial maxillary sinus wall resection.
  • Endoscopic sinus surgery expertise makes the endonasal approach feasible for MM.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To detail the surgical technique for endonasal endoscopic MM.
  • To report outcomes of endonasal endoscopic MM in six patients.

Main Methods:

  • Six male patients underwent endonasal endoscopic MM between 2006 and 2010.
  • Indications included inverted papillomas (n=5) and extramedullary plasmocytoma (n=1).
  • Procedures involved primary (n=1) and revision (n=5) surgeries.

Endoscopic Septoplasty with Limited Two-line Resection: Minimally Invasive Surgery for Septal Deviation

Published on: June 20, 2018

  • All patients achieved disease-free status at a mean follow-up of 18.2 months (range: 9-38 months).
  • Nasal endoscopy and CT scans confirmed disease-free status.
  • No major perioperative complications occurred; common issues included postoperative crusting and one case of epiphora.

Conclusions:

  • Endoscopic MM is a successful technique for resecting tumors of the maxillary sinus and intersinonasal wall.
  • It appears as effective as open approaches with reduced postoperative morbidity.
  • Key technical aspects include anterior osteotomy placement and accurate tumor attachment determination.
