Overview
Surgery is not the first-line treatment option for patients with microscopic polyangiitis. Surgery is usually reserved for patients with either stenosing and destructive lesions of the nasal cartilage and bones of the patients who are suffering with microscopic polyangiitis.
Indications
- Surgical intervention is not recommended for the management of microscopic polyangiitis.
- Surgery is usually reserved for patients with either:[1]
- Destructive lesions of the nasal cartilage
- Stenosing lesions of the nasal passages
Surgery
- Reconstructive surgery may provide a relief from the obstructed airway and can restore a normal-appearing and functional nose.[2]
