چکیده

introduction: in recent years, the surgical management of angiofibroma has been greatly influenced by the use of endoscopic techniques. however, large tumors that extend into difficult anatomic sites present major challenges for management by either endoscopy or an open-surgery approach which needs new technique for the complete en block resection.   materials and methods: in a prospective observational study we developed an endoscopic transnasal technique for the resection of angiofibroma via pushing and pulling the mass with 1/100000 soaked adrenalin tampons. thirty two patients were treated using this endoscopic technique over 7 years. the mean follow-up period was 36 months. the main outcomes measured were tumor staging, average blood loss, complications, length of hospitalization, and residual and/or recurrence rate of the tumor.   results: according to the radkowski staging, 23,5, and 4 patients were at stage iic, iiia, and iiib, respectively. twenty five patients were operated on exclusively via transnasal endoscopy while 7 patients were managed using endoscopy-assisted open-surgery techniques. mean blood loss in patients was 1261± 893 cc. the recurrence rate was 21.88% (7 cases) at two years following surgery. mean hospitalization time was 3.56 ± 0.6 days.   conclusion:  using this effective technique, endoscopic removal of more highly advanced angiofibroma is possible. better visualization, less intraoperative blood loss, lower rates of complication and recurrence, and shorter hospitalization time are some of the advantages.

Because the location of these tumors makes conventional surgery difficult, interest in endoscopic resection is increasing, particularly for the treatment of lesions that do not extend laterally into the infratemporal fossa. We report the results of our series of 23 patients with JNA (stage IIB o...
