Choosing between a purely endoscopic or a combined approach can be challenging, particularly for larger lesions. This study aims to present our institutional experience in the surgical management of paranasal sinus osteomas and to propose a flowchart that integrates clinical and radiological findings and modern technologies, including intraoperative navigation and patient-specific cutting guides, to assist clinicians in selecting the optimal surgical approach.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A retrospective review was conducted on patients who underwent surgical resection of frontal and ethmoidal sinus osteomas at the Maxillofacial Surgery Unit of the University of Naples \u201cFederico II\u201d between January 2020 and April 2024.
