title: [Value of nasal endoscopy in the surgery of the nasal inverted papillomas].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To evaluate the curative effect of endoscopic surgery (ESS) in the treatment of inverted papillomas in the nasal cavity and paranasal sinus.
  
  
  METHODS
  We report on 16 clinicopathologic cases of inverted papilloma. After preoperative endoscopic examination and CT screening, endoscopic sinus surgery was performed under general anesthesia.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The follow-up period ranged between one year to two years. Recurrence was observed in 2 cases.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The nasal endoscopy is a better method for treating Krouse I-II stage nasal inverted papilloma. The advantages of endoscopic surgery include clear visual field, less bleeding, limited reoccurrence, and avoidance of facial incision.
