What is Medial Maxillectomy?

Medial Maxillectomy is an advanced surgical technique performed to remove tumors located in the medial (inner) wall of the maxillary sinus. It is often indicated in patients with sinonasal tumors, recurrent polyps, or certain cancers. The surgery involves precise removal of affected tissues while maintaining critical structures such as the orbit and nasal septum. Performed by skilled ENT or head and neck surgeons, this procedure aims to relieve symptoms, prevent tumor spread, and restore nasal function.

Understanding Medial Maxillectomy

Medial Maxillectomy is a specialized surgical procedure used to remove part or all of the medial (inner) wall of the maxillary sinus. It is commonly performed to treat tumors, chronic infections, or other complex conditions affecting the nasal cavity, maxillary sinus, or surrounding structures. This surgery can be performed using open or endoscopic techniques, depending on the extent and location of the disease. Recovery involves close monitoring, nasal care, and sometimes reconstruction for functional and aesthetic restoration.

Step-by-Step Procedure of Medial Maxillectomy

Preoperative Evaluation

Detailed imaging, biopsy, and ENT consultation to assess tumor extent.

Anesthesia and Incision

General anesthesia is administered, and access is gained via an endoscopic or open approach.

Tumor Resection

Affected parts of the medial maxilla and surrounding tissues are removed.

Reconstruction (if needed)

Reconstructive techniques may be used to restore facial function.

Recovery and Monitoring

Hospital stay with regular monitoring, followed by outpatient care.

Types of Medial Maxillectomy Procedures and Options

Endoscopic Medial Maxillectomy

Minimally invasive approach with faster recovery and less visible scarring.

Open Medial Maxillectomy

Used for larger or complex tumors requiring greater access for complete resection

Reconstructive Options

May include skin grafts or flaps to restore function and appearance post-surgery.
