Modified midfacial degloving. A practical approach to extensive bilateral benign tumours of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses.
Midfacial degloving is a well-known technique for entering the nasal and paranasal cavities, the rhinopharynx and the base of the skull. We report our experience with a modification of midfacial degloving, applied to two patients with extensive bilateral benign tumours in the nasal cavities and the paranasal sinuses. No rhinoplastic procedure is necessary in this modification, and the access to the upper part of the nasal cavity is improved.
