About Sinus Cancer

Sinus cancer surgery, performed by a head and neck surgeon, is a specialized procedure to remove malignant tumors located in the paranasal sinuses (such as the maxillary or ethmoid sinuses). This complex surgery aims for complete tumor resection while preserving critical structures like the eye, brain, and facial nerves. The approach may involve endoscopic techniques for smaller tumors or open procedures like maxillectomy for more extensive disease. It is often part of a multimodal treatment plan that includes radiation and/or chemotherapy. The goal is to achieve cancer control, restore function, and maintain the patient's quality of life and facial appearance.

Key Highlights

Aims for complete removal of cancerous tissue to achieve the best chance of cure.Utilizes advanced techniques like endoscopic surgery for less invasive approaches where possible.Focuses on preserving critical functions such as vision, breathing, and facial movement.Often performed as part of a coordinated, multidisciplinary cancer care plan.Reconstructive techniques can restore facial contours and function after tumor removal.

Who is this surgery for?

Diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, or other malignancies in the paranasal sinuses.
Persistent symptoms like unilateral nasal obstruction, bloody discharge, facial pain, or numbness unresponsive to other treatments.
Tumors that are localized and surgically resectable, as determined by imaging (CT/MRI).
As a primary treatment or following neoadjuvant therapy (chemotherapy/radiation) to shrink the tumor.
To obtain a tissue sample for definitive diagnosis when biopsy is inconclusive.

How to prepare

Comprehensive imaging (CT, MRI, PET scan) to map the tumor's exact size and location.
Complete medical evaluation, including blood tests and assessment of heart/lung function.
Consultation with a multidisciplinary team including medical oncologists and radiation oncologists.
Discussion of the surgical plan, potential outcomes, and reconstructive options.
Pre-operative instructions regarding fasting, medication adjustments (especially blood thinners), and smoking cessation.

Risks & possible complications

Bleeding, infection, or adverse reactions to anesthesia.
Injury to nearby structures: vision changes, double vision, or (rarely) loss of an eye.
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak or risk of meningitis if the skull base is involved.
Facial numbness, pain, or weakness due to nerve involvement.
Persistent nasal drainage, crusting, or changes in voice resonance.
Scarring or changes in facial appearance, which may require further reconstructive surgery.

Recovery & hospital stay

Initial hospital stay for monitoring, pain management, and wound care.
Nasal packing or splints may be in place for several days to support healing.
Diet may progress from liquids to soft foods as swallowing allows.
Regular nasal saline irrigations are crucial to prevent crusting and promote healing.
Follow-up appointments for stent removal, wound checks, and surveillance imaging.
Gradual return to normal activities, avoiding strenuous exercise and heavy lifting for several weeks.
Possible referral for post-operative radiation or chemotherapy as part of the treatment plan.

Typical hospital stay: 5-10 days
Expected recovery time: 4-6 weeks for initial recovery; 3-6 months for full functional recovery

PATIENT REVIEW

Reyansh Shah, a 58-year-old architect and...

Reyansh Shah, a 58-year-old architect and father of two, had always been active and health-conscious. For over a year, he dismissed persistent nasal congestion and occasional nosebleeds as severe allergies or sinusitis, exacerbated by his long hours at dusty construction sites. When a persistent numbness developed on the left side of his face and his left eye began to bulge slightly, his wife insisted he see a doctor. A CT scan revealed a tumor in his maxillary sinus. The head and neck surgeon, Dr. Lee, explained that it was squamous cell carcinoma and recommended a maxillectomy, a procedure to remove the upper jawbone and sinus, followed by radiation. The surgery was extensive, lasting eight hours. Reyansh woke up with a temporary tracheostomy to help him breathe and a feeding tube. His face was swollen, and the reconstruction using a tissue flap from his forearm left significant scars. The emotional toll was heavy; he feared he would never look or feel like himself again, and worried about providing for his family. Recovery was a long road of wound care, learning to eat and speak again, and six weeks of daily radiation. A year later, scans show no evidence of disease. While he has some permanent facial asymmetry and dry eye, he is back to managing his firm part-time. The experience gave him a profound appreciation for life's small moments, and he now volunteers to support other cancer patients, channeling his fear into empathy.
