Overview

Surgery

  • Treatment for an osteoma that is causing symptoms is surgery. The types of surgery that may be used are:[1]
    • Medial maxillectomy with a lateral rhinotomy incision: removal of part of the upper jaw bone through an incision along the side of the nose
    • Craniofacial resection: rebuilding the bones of the face and skull
    • Endoscopic resection: removal of the osteoma through a thin tube inserted into the sinus area
  • Surgery and an endoscopic resection may be used together to try to completely remove the tumor.
