Еhe Removal Cysts of Maxillary Sinus Cavities through Mini-Access

Abstract

Diseases of the mucous membrane of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses consistently occupy a high proportion among all diseases of the ENT organs and are one of the most pressing problems of modern otorhinolaryngology. Among all sinusitis, inflammatory diseases of the maxillary sinuses account for the largest number, due to their prevalence, tendency to chronic recurrent course and insufficiency of traditional treatment methods. The aim of the work was to improve the methods of surgical treatment of patients with chronic inflammatory diseases of the maxillary sinuses. 43 patients were under observation, including 15 women, 28 men aged 15 to 65 years with cystic lesions of the maxillary sinuses. All patients underwent endoscopic surgery on the maxillary sinuses through a mini-probe. A technique has been developed by which it is possible to fully examine the sinus and carefully remove the cyst under endoscopic control using all the principles of minimally invasive surgery. The healing process of the surgical wound ends with the formation of a delicate scar within 7-10 days.
