ABSTRACT
Background: Due to the anatomical disposition of the maxillary sinus, it is difficult
to approach it by nasal endoscopy when it has damage in its anteroinferior or posterolateral
recess. Denker endoscopic technique offers full visualization of the maxillary
sinus walls, without requiring sublabial or transeptal approaches.
Objectives: To determine the complications associated to the procedure, bleeding
amount, surgical time and recovery. To present the modifications made to the technique
to use it beyond the treatment of nasal papilloma.
Materials and Methods: A retrospective and descriptive study with patients treated
from June 2015 to April 2019. All with involvement of maxillary sinus walls, nasal cavity
and some towards the infratemporal fossa.
Results: There were included 14 patients. Complete exposure of the lesion was
obtained, with a mean surgical time of 3.1 hr and 154 cc of bleeding. One patient
presented malar hypoesthesia. No patient had alar retraction, and to date 12/14 are
without recurrence.
Conclusions: With the Denker endoscopic technique, adequate access was obtained
to the anterolateral and posteroinferior recesses of the maxillary sinus. It was
successfully used for the treatment of neoplasms, infectious or inflammatory diseases,
others than nasal papilloma.
