Introduction: Recent evidence supports the efficacy of surgical navigation (SN) in improving outcomes of sinonasal and craniofacial oncologic surgery. This study aims to demonstrate the utility of SN as a tool for integrating surgical, radiologic, and pathologic information. Additionally, a system for recording and mapping biopsy samples has been devised to facilitate sharing of spatial information.

- The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of endoscopic surgical treatment for recurrent undifferentiated non-keratinizing nasopharyngeal carcinoma (uNK-NPC) in areas where this type of cancer is less common.
- A total of 41 patients were analyzed, showing that after 5 years, around 60% were alive, 69% were free from the disease, but only about 40% had no signs of cancer returning.
- The findings suggest that endoscopic resection is a viable treatment option, but careful patient selection is crucial to improve outcomes and reduce complications like local relapses.
Background: Treatment of inverted papilloma of the maxillary sinus (IPMS) has a lower success rate compared to other IPs. As such, its correct management generally needs trans-nasal endoscopic medial maxillectomy (EMMs) for adequate resection. The aim of this manuscript is to describe outcomes and major prognostic factors of a cohort of patients with IPMS who were treated with EMM.
