Suprastructure Maxillary Swing for JNA: A Novel Approach to avoid Complication

Abstract

ABSTRACTJuvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (JNA) is a highly vascular tumor in which surgical excision is the main treatment modality. Wide exposure of the surgical field helps in complete surgical excision by subperiosteal dissection with a good vascular control. Conventional maxillary swing is a suitable approach for tumor with lateral extension. Palatal fistula is the major drawback of this approach. To avoid this complication, suprastructure maxillary swing is a suitable approach in which only the suprastructure of the maxilla needs to be swung instead of whole of the maxilla. The palatal cuts and lip split can be avoided with very little compromise in exposure.How to cite this articleSingh CA, Hota A, Gupta MP, Yadav V, Jat B.
