description Abstract Background When medical therapy fails to control maxillary sinus (MS) disease, surgery is required. There are many advanced MS endoscopic approaches, each one with its anatomical limitations and possible complications. This study aimed to review the outcomes of three endoscopic approaches to the MS (middle meatal antrostomy approach (MMAA), prelacrimal recess approach (PLRA), and canine fossa approach (CFA)) to manage benign MS lesions. Methods Sixty-three patients with diseased MS require surgery. Endoscopic MS approaches used include MMAA, PLRA, and CFA. Each approach was used in 21 patients. The outcome of each approach was measured regarding lesion accessibility and clearance, complications (intraoperative or postoperative), and recurrence. Results The maxillary sinus posterior wall was accessible in all approaches. Other walls and different recesses were also accessible in the case of PLRA and CFA with statistically significant difference between the three approaches. There was no significant difference between patients operated by PLRA and CFA regarding accessibility to different walls and recesses of the MS. Endoscopic and radiological recurrence were found in three (15%) patients who were operated by MMAA. There was no evidence of recurrence in patients operated by the other approaches. Complications like crustations, fascial pain, fascial welling, and fascial hypoesthesia occurred in a few patients. Conclusion By using a suitable endoscopic approach, the different walls and recesses of the MS were completely accessible, so benign MS lesions that required open surgical approaches can be managed endoscopically while preserving the sinus structure and function.
