Overview
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.
