Successful management of the tumors of the nasal cavity depends on direct visualization and adequate exposure of the operation fields.

Midfacial degloving approach is a method of bilateral anterior maxillary exposure and has been known as excellent to access to nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses avoiding external facial scar.

Twenty four cases of the tumors in nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses were resected by this approach. This article describe the procedure and clinical data.
