Background: The aim of this retrospective study was to assess the potentials and limitations of endonasal micro-endoscopic sinus surgery in the management of sinonasal inverted papilloma (IP) and to demonstrate long-term results.
Methods: Eighty-seven patients underwent resection of an IP either via an endonasal, an osteoplastic maxillary or frontal sinus or a combined approach. Charts were reviewed for presenting symptoms, tumour stage according to the Krouse classification, surgical management and follow-up status.
Results: Most tumours were staged as T2 or T3 (42.5% each). Sixty-eight (78.2%) patients were referred for primary surgery. Nineteen (21.8%) patients presented with recurrent disease. The majority of IP (70%) were removed via an endonasal micro-endoscopic procedure. In 20 (23%) patients a combined approach was performed. The overall recurrence rate was 10.3%. Referring to endonasal surgery the incidence of recurrent IP was 10% in contrast to 15% after a combined procedure.
Conclusion: Our data show that endonasal micro-endoscopic surgery offers an effective and safe treatment modality of IP with insignificant morbidity. Strict application of selection criteria, wide removal of the tumour origin along the subperiosteal plane as well as drilling the underlying bone and close follow-up of patients are mandatory for success.

This retrospective analysis reflects the outcome of various techniques used in a series of 41 cases of choanal atresia treated at the Department of Otoloaryngology, Head- and Neck Surgery at the University of Mainz between 1980 and 2006. Thirteen bilateral and 28 unilateral cases are included. After endonasal management in 38 and a transpalatine approach in 3 cases a total of 15 patients needed revision surgery between 1 and 5 times to establish a stable result.

This study evaluates the most extensive long-term treatment outcome of paranasal sinus mucocoeles with particular emphasis on the efficacy of endonasal micro-endoscopic management. It is a retrospective, consecutive case review of 255 patients with 290 mucocoeles including 125 frontal sinus, 23 frontoethmoid, 41 ethmoid, 72 maxillary sinus and 26 sphenoid mucocoeles. The median follow-up of the patients is 12 years (range 1 - 19 years).

The author presents modification of the well-known surgical techniques used in endonasal optically aided operations in the patients with massive and recurrent nasal polyposis. After septal correction the attachment of the middle turbinate and lower turbinate is identified. It helps to find an appropriate place to open a maxillary sinus through uncinectomy.
