Fenestration and Decompression
Decompression and marsupialization can be considered when the keratocystic odontogenic tumor (OKC) is large, close to important structures such as the inferior alveolar nerve or maxillary sinus, or when the bone wall is too thin and the risk of direct complete curettage is high. It can also be used

How Fenestration and Decompression is performed
This procedure is usually performed under local or general anesthesia. The doctor creates a bone window at the cyst and sutures the cyst wall to the oral mucosa to form a permanent or temporary stoma. If necessary, a drain or stent is placed to maintain patency. Cyst contents and cyst wall samples are sent for pathological confirmation. After the operation, regular irrigation is used to reduce the pressure in the cavity and promote the gradual reduction of the lesion, creating conditions for subsequent further treatment (such as elective complete curettage), while protecting adjacent teeth, nerves and important structures. Postoperative monitoring of bleeding, infection and stoma patency is required. The above is general health information and not medical advice; the specific situation is subject to specialist assessment and hospital plan.
