Whether a submucosal cyst of the maxillary sinus needs surgery is mainly a combination of the condition of the lesion. Small cysts with no symptoms can be operated without surgery; larger cysts that cause obvious headache and discomfort can be operated by nasal endoscopy.
1. Small submucosal cysts of the maxillary sinus: basically do not cause clinical symptoms, no special intervention is needed, only regular review.
2. Large submucosal cyst of maxillary sinus: if the cyst increases significantly, causing sinus wall compression and sinus opening blockage, the sinus opening can be dilated through endonasal endoscopic surgery, and clean up the fluid in the maxillary sinus cyst to keep the sinus opening drainage smooth, with a relatively low probability of recurrence.
The specific situation needs to be combined with imaging, nasal endoscopy and clinical symptoms to determine the specific conditions, under the guidance of the clinician standardized treatment.
