RESUMO
OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the application of endoscopic nasal lateral wall dissection in lesions of the maxillary sinus.@*METHOD@#Ten hospitalized patients with the maxillary sinus lesions were treated with the endoscopic nasal lateral wall dissection.@*RESULT@#All 10 patients were unilateral invasion. Among them, 7 cases were inverted papilloma, 2 cases were recurrent antrochoanal polyps, 1 case was sinusal tooth. The tumors and antrochoanal polyps originated from the every part of the maxillary sinus wall during operation, especially from the anterior and media wall. During 10-62 months follow-up,epithelization of nasal occured and the shape of inferior turbinate was well. All of them had no epiphora.@*CONCLUSION@#Endoscopic nasal lateral wall dissection can remain the function of nasal lacrimal duct and nasal cavity,and may provide a new minimally invasive approach for complete resection of lesions of nasal cavity and the maxillary sinus.
