Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To summary the clinical characteristics and outcomes of nasal inverted papilloma treated by intranasal endoscopic approach. METHOD: Fourty-six patients with nasal inverted papilloma were treated with endoscopic surgery from 1995 to 2005. There were 34 males and 12 females, age ranged from 18 to 76 years old. The period of follow-up was 12-72 months. RESULT: Only 5 cases recurred within 24 months after the surgery. The other cases had no recurrence during the follow-up period. CONCLUSION: The endoscopic endonasal approach is an effective treatment for an inverted papilloma in selected cases. A combination of Caldwell Luc procedure and transnasal endoscopic sinus surgery may be needed for those patients with inverted papilloma in stage III.
