Origin site-based staging system of sinonasal inverted papilloma for application to endoscopic sinus surgery.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:We aimed to assess the recurrence risk of sinonasal inverted papillomas (SNIPs), based on a staging system developed according to the originating site of SNIP. METHODS:A total of 200 patients with SNIP were enrolled, and a staging system was developed based on the originating sites and corresponding recurrence rates of tumor in the patients. In the verification phase, 675 patients with SNIPs were enrolled as above, and the originating sites of the SNIPs were confirmed by an endoscopic sinus surgery. Cluster analysis was performed to determine the stage for each SNIP. RESULTS:Overall, 608 patients completed the study. SNIP recurrence rates for stages 1-4 were 0 (n?=?43), 4.0% (n?=?420), 13.4% (n?=?134), 36.4% (n?=?11), respectively (total?=?6.4%). CONCLUSIONS:The origin site-based classification of SNIP may aid surgeons in selecting appropriate endoscopic surgical approaches to minimize the risk of recurrence.
