Abstract
Objectives: Endoscopic medial maxillectomy has now become the gold standard surgical treatment for the majority of inverted papillomas that involves the maxillary sinus. However, this approach sacrifices the inferior turbinate which is responsible for conditioning of the nasal airflow. This study was done to assess the effectiveness of preservation of inferior turbinate in endoscopic medial maxillectomy.
Method: It was carried on patients diagnosed as inverted papilloma presented to the Otorhinolaryngology outpatient clinic in Beni-Suef University Hospital. Out of these patients, 20 cases of maxillary sinus inverted papilloma were selected from March 2012 to January 2016. All these patients were treated by endoscopic medial maxillectomy with preservation of the inferior turbinate.
Result: During surgery, the presence of inferior turbinate did not interfere the surgical field or the manipulation with instruments. Postoperatively, no crustations nor atrophic changes were reported in all the cases. There were no recurrences, with a mean disease-free interval of 36 months (24-48 months).
Conclusion: Endoscopic medial maxillectomy with preservation of inferior turbinate is an effective technique for treatment of inverted papilloma with no recurrence.
Keywords: Endoscopic medial maxillectomy, preserve inferior turbinate, inverted papilloma.
