Objective
Endoscopic nasopharyngectomy (ENPG) with en bloc resection has been well accepted in resectable localized recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma (rNPC), but it is a difficult technique to master for most otorhinolaryngology head and neck surgeons. Ablation surgery is a new and simplified method to remove tumors. We designed a novel method using low‐temperature plasma radiofrequency ablation...
Background
Surgical access for retropharyngeal lymph node (RPLN) dissection is difficult. We aimed to examine the efficacy of transcervical endoscopic RPLN dissection (TSE‐RPLND) for recurrent RPLN in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC).
Methods
From April 2013 to February 2019, a total of 31 patients with NPC diagnosed with RPLN recurrence underwent TSE‐RPLND. The clinical characteristics, complications,...
Background
Endoscopic surgery was widely applied as radical treatment for early cancer. We aimed to demonstrate the details of endoscopic nasopharyngectomy (ENPG) for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC).
Methods
Before operation, we first defined the gross tumor volume (GTV) and surgical tumor volume (STV) for resection. STV was defined as gross tumor volume plus an additional 0.5‐1.0 cm peripheral...
