Sinonasal Inverted Papilloma: Efficacy of Demucosation to Reduce Recurrence After Surgical Managements

AbstractTo compare the outcomes of various surgical approaches to resect sinonasal inverted papilloma and to discuss their advantages and disadvantages. A retrospective chart review of 61 consecutive patients with sinonasal inverted papilloma was performed. Surgical treatment included non-demucosation endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS), demucosation ESS, endonasal medial maxillectomy (EMM), Draf type 3, Caldwell-Luc surgery, Denker, Killian, and lateral rhinotomy. Recurrence rates were compared between endonasal and external approaches and between demucosation and non-demucosation. After the first curative surgery, the non-demucosation ESS, endonasal demucosation (demucosation ESS, EMM, and Draf type 3), and external surgery showed recurrence rates of 61.5%, (8/13), 0.0% (0/21), and 7.4% (2/27...
