Objective: By benign and malignant tumors of the maxillary sinus and maxilla there is frequently a need to perform a total maxillectomy. In this article we describe a transconjuctival-transoral approach, which can be evaluated in terms of esthetic result, complications, integrity of the important structures of the midface that provide physiological function and reduce the rehabilitation period.
Study design:We operated seven patients in the time between 2013-2014. Among them were four patients with malignant tumors with preoperative radiology treatment one patient with malignant tumor without preoperative radiology treatment and two patients with benign tumors. All these patients have no recurrence until now.
Methods:The surgical technique is performed in following steps: transconjunctival incision, exposure of the zygomatic bone, low orbital rim and orbital floor through precise dissection of the structures of the low eyelid, intraoral incision, traditional osteotomies with preserving the low orbital rim, lateral canthopexy, skin suturing.
Results:Reduction of the postoperative treatment period and complications, better esthetic results.
Conclusion:Transconjunctival -transoral approach benefits the conventional ones in fast rehabilitation, good esthetic results without facial scars and low eyelid malposition.
Основной способ лечения распространенных злокачественных опухолей гортани-хирургический. Он обеспечивает наибольшую радикальность, однако частота послеоперационных осложнений (кожно-глоточных свищей) остается высокой, что приводит к неудовлетворительным функциональным и эстетическим результатам, увеличивает продолжительность и стоимость лечения. Цель исследования-апробировать новый способ обеспечения доступа при хирургическом лечении злокачественных опухолей гортани, оценить его влияние на частоту послеоперационных осложнений.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
