The implications of concomitant mucosal inflammation on clinical manifestations and outcomes of sinonasal inverted papilloma.

Purpose: This study examines the impact of concomitant mucosal inflammation on clinical manifestations and long-term outcomes of Inverted Papilloma (IP).

Methods: This retrospective cohort study was conducted in five tertiary medical centers. The included patients underwent an attachment-oriented surgical resection for IP with a minimum follow-up of 3 years.

Endoscopic Inferior Meatal Antrostomy for Antrochoanal Polyps: A Long-Term Follow-Up.

Background: Endoscopic middle meatal antrostomy (EMMA) is considered the standard approach for surgical management of antrochoanal polyps (ACPs). Recently, an endoscopic inferior meatal antrostomy (EIMA) approach for clearing lesions in the maxillary sinus was described. In this study, we compared the long-term outcome of patients with ACP following surgical treatment using one of these 2 approaches (EIMA or EMMA).

Is intraoperative margin sampling necessary in inverted papilloma resection?

Purpose: To explore the association between intraoperative surgical margin sampling by the frozen sections and recurrence in inverted papilloma surgery.

Methods: A multicenter, retrospective study of patients who underwent attachment-oriented IP resection in four tertiary care medical centers with a minimal follow-up of 36 months.

Results: The study included 220 surgeries with a mean follow-up period of 49 months (range 36-204).

Endoscopic treatment of ectopic teeth in the maxillary sinus.

Background: Ectopic teeth in maxillary sinus is rare and are usually removed via sub-labial trans-canine fossa approach (SLCFA). The aim of our study was to present our experience with extraction of ectopic teeth in the maxillary sinus via transnasal endoscopic approach (TEA).

Material And Methods: Rhinologists were asked to share their experience in the management of ectopic teeth in the maxillary sinus.
