A member asked:
How is a maxillary sinus cyst removed surgically? is it painful afterwards?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Why bother?: I can't see image well. Most ENT's I know don't remove maxillary "retention" cysts, unless the think it is cancerous, eroding into bone, or causing infections or pressure by blocking the drainage (OMC obstruction). They are not believed to be painful themselves. Can do surgery through the nostril, or under upper lip.
