Summary

Lateral rhinotomy and medial maxillectomy are the preferred surgical treatments for lateral nasal wall tumors, offering reduced recurrence rates, especially for inverted papilloma. These refined techniques provide excellent exposure and allow for en bloc tumor removal with minimal complications.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Neoplastic lesions of the lateral nasal wall traditionally presented treatment challenges.
  • Limited surgical approaches were associated with higher recurrence rates for tumors like inverted papilloma.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and evolution of lateral rhinotomy and medial maxillectomy for lateral nasal wall neoplasms.
  • To highlight the advantages of this surgical approach in managing complex sinonasal tumors.

Main Methods:

  • Review of technical refinements in lateral rhinotomy and medial maxillectomy over the past 25 years.
  • Analysis of the application of this approach in treating inverted papilloma and other lateral nasal wall tumors.

Main Results:

  • Lateral rhinotomy and medial maxillectomy have become the standard treatment, demonstrating acceptable morbidity.
  • Significant reduction in recurrence rates for inverted papilloma compared to previous methods.
  • The approach facilitates en bloc resection and allows extension to adjacent structures (orbit, cranial vault, sinuses).

Conclusions:

  • Lateral rhinotomy and medial maxillectomy offer superior exposure and oncological control for lateral nasal wall tumors.
  • This surgical technique is the current standard of care, effectively managing challenging sinonasal neoplasms.
  • Refined techniques have minimized patient morbidity while maximizing tumor extirpation.
