Managing nasal papilloma, particularly inverted papilloma, typically involves surgical intervention due to its potential to recur and its association with malignancy. Here are the main approaches:
1. Endoscopic Surgery: This is the most common treatment. It involves using a thin, flexible tube with a camera (endoscope) inserted through the nostril to remove the papilloma. This method is minimally invasive and leaves no external scars.
2. Open Surgery: In cases where the papilloma is extensive or involves areas that are difficult to reach with an endoscope, open surgery might be necessary. This involves making an incision to access and remove the tumor.
3. Regular Monitoring: Post-surgery, regular follow-ups with imaging studies (like MRI or CT scans) are crucial to monitor for recurrence.
4. Biopsy and Histopathological Examination: It’s important to perform a biopsy to confirm the diagnosis and rule out malignancy.
5. Radiation Therapy: In rare cases where the papilloma is associated with malignancy, radiation therapy might be considered as an adjunct treatment.
6. Homoeopathic: Symptomatic Homoeopathic Medicine.
Early diagnosis and treatment are key to managing nasal papillomas effectively and preventing complications.
