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.

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.

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.

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.

Had a persistent stomach issue that was affecting my work. Needed a doctor who wouldn't waste time. Dr. Sudharsan at MGM was direct, asked the right questions, and ordered only the necessary tests. Got a clear diagnosis and a treatment plan that worked. Back to my routine now.
