Background. The majority of tumors of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinus are diagnosed at an advanced stage, requiring invasive and mutilating surgery, and therefore, the reconstruction of post-surgical craniofacial bone defects using various implants is necessary.Purpose of the study: to evaluate the effectiveness of the use of the thin-profile implants made of titanium nickelide in the surgical treatment of nasal cavity and paranasal sinus cancers.Material and Methods. From 2002 to 2020, a total of 60 patients with stage Т3–4n0–1M0 nasal cavity and paranasal sinus cancer were treated at the Cancer Research institute (tomsk). All patients received radiation therapy followed by surgery with reconstruction of bone structures of the subcranial region and orbital walls. In the study group (n=30), the orbital walls were restored with individual thin-profile shape memory titanium nickelide implants. In the control group (n=30), typical porous and tissue titanium nickelide implants were used. They required adjustment during surgery and complicated reparative processes in the postoperative period due to their thickness. Tissue implants did not allow accurate restoration of the orbital walls due to their structure.Results. Surgical rehabilitation with orbital wall reconstruction using thin-profile titanium nickelide implants makes it possible to shorten the duration of surgery and improve the precision of surgical repair. Features of the architectonics of implants do not interfere with the growth of tissues of the recipient zone, thus preventing the development of inflammation in the implantation site. The technique allows adequate restoration of the natural position and function of the eye.

Results of the combined modality treatment for patients with cancer of accessory sinuses using the modern surgical technologies based on individual endoprosthesis of postoperative bone defects have been presented. Stimulation of reparative processes in the wound with the use of low intensity laser infra-red radiation and permanent magnetic field was performed in early postoperative period. The application of the above methods allowed the reduction in rehabilitation period, increase in the level of social adaptation of the patients and improvement of cosmetic and functional effects of the treatment.
