A reversible endoscopic medial maxillectomy (REMM) is presented as an alternative for treatment of benign maxillary diseases.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Objective\u2003To describe the REMM technique and report four cases of patients with benign maxillary sinus conditions treated through this approach.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Methods\u2003The present study was divided into two parts: anatomical and case series. Two cadaveric dissections confirmed the feasibility of the REMM approach. The same technique was performed on four consecutive patients with benign maxillary sinus disease.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Results\u2003The cadaveric dissections confirmed wide exposure to the maxillary cavity, preserving the anatomy of the maxillary sinus. In the patient series, one patient presented with an antrochoanal polyp, one had a silent sinus syndrome, one had a chronic maxillary sinusitis secondary to a gunshot, and the last one had an inverted papilloma in the maxillary sinus. In all of the cases, the REMM approach provided excellent access and adequate resection, as well as preservation of the inferior turbinate, nasolacrimal duct, and lateral wall of the nose (including its osteomucosal component). Finally, all of the patients had an uneventful postoperative course.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Conclusion\u2003The REMM technique is an excellent surgical approach to benign conditions of the maxillary sinus. It has few limitations and appears to be associated with less morbidity than conventional techniques.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0040-1701267","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,2,27]],"date-time":"2020-02-27T23:55:49Z","timestamp":1582847749000},"page":"e247-e252","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Reversible Endoscopic Medial Maxillectomy: Endonasal Approach to Diseases of the Maxillary Sinus"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"24","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9000-9743","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Miguel Soares","family":"Tepedino","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of ENT and Skull Base Surgery at the Policlinica de Botafogo, Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ana Clara Miotello","family":"Ferr\u00e3o","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of ENT, Policlinica de Botafogo, Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hana Caroline Morais","family":"Higa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Rhinology and Skull Base Surgery, Policlinica de Botafogo, Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Leonardo Lopes","family":"Balsalobre Filho","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"S\u00e3o Paulo ENT Center, Hospital Edmundo Vasconcelos, S\u00e3o Paulo, SP, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Enrique","family":"Iturriaga","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of ENT and HSN\/Skull Base Program, Centro M\u00e9dico Caracas, Caracas, Venezuela"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marcelo Charles","family":"Pereira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology, Albany Medical Center, Albany, NY, United States"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Carlos Diogenes","family":"Pinheiro Neto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology and Neurosurgery, Albany Medical Center, Albany, NY, United States"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,2,27]]},"container-title":["International Archives of Otorhinolaryngology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/www.thieme-connect.de\/products\/ejournals\/pdf\/10.1055\/s-0040-1701267.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2020,4,13]],"date-time":"2020-04-13T22:37:39Z","timestamp":1586817459000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/www.thieme-connect.de\/DOI\/DOI?10.1055\/s-0040-1701267"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2020,2,27]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"02","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,11,4]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2020,4]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1055\/s-0040-1701267","relation":{},"ISSN":["1809-9777","1809-4864"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1809-9777","type":"print"},{"value":"1809-4864","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2020,2,27]]}}}
