Prelacrimal recess approach for maxillary sinus inverted papilloma: a 15-year experience from a single center.
European Archives of Oto-rhino-laryngology 2024 March 26
PURPOSE: This large retrospective, single-center, follow-up study investigated the endoscopic prelacrimal recess approach (PLRA) for treating maxillary sinus inverted papilloma (MSIP).
METHODS: Between January 2007 and November 2022, patients with MSIP treated with PLRA were enrolled. Data on clinical manifestations, imaging, and surgical procedures were collected. The visual analog scale (VAS) scores for maxillofacial numbness and nasal symptoms and the SNOT-22 nasal symptom scores were statistically analyzed.
RESULT: Of 122 patients (68 males and 54 females) enrolled in the study, with a mean age of 50.75 ± 12.84 years (26-80 years), 111 patients underwent PLRA, nine underwent modified PLRA, one converted to an endoscopic medial maxillectomy (EMM), and one to an endoscopic modified Denker's approach. The average follow-up was 86.60 (13-192) months, the recurrence rate was 3.28%, and 29 patients (23.77%) complained of maxillofacial numbness one month postoperatively, which disappeared in most cases one year after surgery. Five patients (4.10%) experienced mild numbness at the end of the follow-up period. Maxillary sinus ostium contracture or atresia occurred in two cases (1.64%). After surgery, the VAS nasal symptom scores improved significantly (P < 0.001). SNOT-22 indicated that the most common postoperative symptom was thick nasal discharge.
CONCLUSION: PLRA is a flexible first-choice surgical treatment for maxillary sinus inverted papilloma and can be modified according to the extent of the lesion, the surgeon's experience and technique, and surgical instruments. That can help achieve complete resection and reduce recurrence and surgical complications. Upper teeth numbness, the most common postoperative complication, tends to disappear after 1 year.
