Abstract

Management of sinonasal diseases has undergone significant change with the advent of endoscopic techniques. A wide variety of pathology can now be surgically managed with the use of endoscopes both within and beyond the sinonasal tract. Endoscopic techniques allow for excellent visualization and complete tumor resection with low morbidity. As experience continues to grow, endonasal endoscopic techniques are becoming the surgical procedures of choice for the management of a wide variety of benign neoplasms.

Keywords: Sinonasal neoplasms, Endoscopic surgery, Nasal tumors, Inverted papilloma, Juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma
