Transoral Endoscopic Excision without Robots or Lasers: A Novel Diagnostic and Therapeutic Approach to Base of Tongue Tumours in Two Patients
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Discussion and conclusion: This approach is minimally invasive compared to open surgeries with early return of normal swallowing and speech postoperatively. It also offers diagnostic benefit for submucosal tumours and does not require additional training or funding for expensive new equipment. We find this method to be of considerable clinical usefulness in the management of base of tongue tumours.

Transoral Resection of Giant Parapharyngeal Space Tumors via a Combined Surgical Approach
Introduction: Parapharyngeal space (PPS) tumors account for 0.5% of the head and neck neoplasms. Based on the evidence, 80% of these tumors are of a benign nature. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice for this condition. The present study was conducted to propose transoral resection as an efficient way to excise the benign well-defined tumors of the PPS. Materials and Methods: Thi...
