Abstract:
Background:In a previous study, rhinoplasty rasp was shown an effective method for removal of button osteoma (BO) of the skull.
Objective:In the present study, our experience was presented and surgical outcome using high-speed burr in surgery for BO evaluated.
Methods:The register-based surgery reports of patients who underwent local excision of BO (2010∼2023) at a single institution were reviewed. Demographics, photodocumentation, radiologic examinations, pathology reports, data of scar prevention, and surgical outcome in the BO study cohort were analyzed.
Results:A total of 20 BO lesions in 18 patients (14 females and four males; mean age of 52.4±14.3 years) who underwent surgery using high-speed burr were assessed. The mean size of BO was 9.3 mm (range, 5∼17 mm).Most of the BOs were located on the forehead (19/20, 95.0%), which was associated with the course of the supratrochlear (n=13) or supraorbital nerve (n=6). Minimal hematoma was complicated in three patients (16.7%).Delayed complications, recurrence, and severe scarring during the mean follow-up of 3.1±3.5 months were not reported.
Conclusion:The use of high-speed burr for surface smoothening may provide good surgical results in minimally invasive BO surgery.
