Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the curative effect of endoscopic surgery (ESS) in the treatment of inverted papillomas in the nasal cavity and paranasal sinus. METHOD: We report on 16 clinicopathologic cases of inverted papilloma. After preoperative endoscopic examination and CT screening, endoscopic sinus surgery was performed under general anesthesia. RESULT: The follow-up period ranged between one year to two years. Recurrence was observed in 2 cases. CONCLUSION: The nasal endoscopy is a better method for treating Krouse I-II stage nasal inverted papilloma. The advantages of endoscopic surgery include clear visual field, less bleeding, limited reoccurrence, and avoidance of facial incision.
