Maxillary Sinus Augmentation Following Removal of a Maxillary Sinus Pseudocyst After a Shortened Healing Period

The described modified surgical technique allows the minimally invasive removal of the antral pseudocyst and histologic verification of the diagnosis without compromising the nasoantral entrance as well as the anatomy of the sinus for future sinus augmentations. It can be performed under local anesthesia without endoscopic equipment while shortening the treatment period.
