Open publisher page 1 citations

Abstract

The endoscopic surgical technique for the removal of antrochoanal polyps is a safe and effective method with minimal morbidity. We present our results in 14 patients treated with this approach. The follow-up time ranged from 3 months to 3 years with an average of 2 years. All patients are symptom free with normal appearing maxillary sinus mucosa on office endoscopy. Only two patients required a Caldwell-Luc procedure. There were no complications in our series. We recommended the endoscopic surgical technique for the management of the antrochoanal polyp.
