Overview
Surgery is the mainstay of therapy. Surgical intervention is only recommended for the management of symptomatic osteoma.[1]
Surgery
- Treatment for an osteoma that is causing symptoms is surgery.
- The types of surgery that may be used are:[1]
- Medial maxillectomy with a lateral rhinotomy incision: removal of part of the upper jaw bone through an incision along the side of the nose.
- Craniofacial resection: rebuilding the bones of the face and skull.
- Endoscopic resection: removal of the osteoma through a thin tube inserted into the sinus area
- Surgery and an endoscopic resection may be used together to try to completely remove the tumor.
