Endoscopic and Open Approaches for Sinonasal Cancers

Once a sinonasal cancer is diagnosed, choosing the right surgical approach is essential. Dr. Karan Gupta, a fellowship-trained Head & Neck Oncosurgeon in Delhi NCR, carefully evaluates each case and recommends an endoscopic, open, or combined approach based on the tumour's size, location, and proximity to the eyes, brain, and major blood vessels.

About Endoscopic and Open Approaches for Sinonasal Cancers

Sinonasal cancers such as squamous cell carcinoma, esthesioneuroblastoma, adenocarcinoma, and sinonasal undifferentiated carcinoma may be treated using minimally invasive endoscopic surgery or an open surgical approach, depending on the extent of the disease.

The endoscopic endonasal technique removes tumours through the nostrils using a high-definition endoscope and image-guided navigation, avoiding external incisions whenever possible.

Larger or more advanced tumours involving the orbit, skull base, or brain may require an open or combined craniofacial approach. Treatment decisions are based on detailed imaging, tumour staging, and multidisciplinary evaluation to achieve complete tumour removal while preserving function.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about endoscopic and open sinonasal cancer surgery by Dr. Karan Gupta.

Endoscopic surgery removes the tumour through the nostrils using a nasal endoscope without external incisions. Open surgery uses facial or craniofacial incisions and is recommended for larger or more complex tumours involving critical structures.

Open surgery is usually recommended when the tumour is large, extends into the orbit or skull base, involves the dura, or cannot be safely removed through a purely endoscopic approach.

Yes, for carefully selected tumours confined to the nasal cavity and sinuses. More advanced cancers involving the skull base, orbit, or major blood vessels may require an open or combined surgical approach for complete removal.

The decision is based on CT and MRI findings, tumour stage, and involvement of the orbit, skull base, dura, or major blood vessels. Complex cases are reviewed with a multidisciplinary team before surgery.

Craniofacial resection is an advanced open procedure performed jointly by a Head & Neck Surgeon and a Neurosurgeon to remove sinonasal cancers that have spread to the anterior skull base.

For appropriately selected tumours, endoscopic surgery provides cancer control comparable to open surgery while offering faster recovery. The choice depends on the tumour's size, location, and extent.

Recovery after endoscopic surgery is generally quicker, with discharge often within a few days. Open or combined craniofacial surgery usually requires a longer hospital stay and a more gradual recovery depending on the complexity of the procedure.
