Rhinosporidiosis: Endoscopic Excision and Review of Literature
نویسنده
چکیده
Objective: To show that endoscopic excision of rhinosporidiosis carries less risk of recurrence. Materials and methods: Five consecutive patients of rhinosporidiosis were placed for endoscopic excision. The various sized mass were excised completely with safe margin under better illumination, magnification and hemostasis using 30° endoscope with camera and monitor. All the patients were started on dapsone therapy after surgery for 3 months. Results: There was no recurrence seen on an average 1 year follow-up. Conclusion: The nasal endoscope plays an important role in localization of site of origin and ensures complete excision with no complications and recurrence. Thus, endoscopic technique of rhinosporidiosis excision is recommended.
