Long-term results of endoscopic assisted cranionasal resection for XXXX - single centre experience of 14 @entity1 .

@entity1 @entity5 @entity75 @entity1504 @entity4236 @entity5173
UNASSIGNED: @entity4236 is a rare @entity5 in the anterior skull base with frequent intracranial extension. Combined management between otolaryngologist and neurosurgeons are @entity5 resection and to minimize the complications of treatment Endoscopic resection of the nasal part of the @entity5 is not only for aesthetic consideration. The superior illumination and visualization offered by the endoscopy enables the surgeon to adequately resect the @entity5 especially in the posterior ethimoid and sphenoid sinuses. @entity75 allows the surgeon to better appreciate the intracranial extent of @entity5 and to ensure an adequate dura resection margin. In addition, a craniotomy approach allows a water-tight dura closure with stitches and reinforcement by a vascularized galeal-pericranial flap, minimizing post operative @entity5173 . In our case series of 14 @entity1 spanning 14 years, only one @entity1 died of disease. The ten-year overall survival is 93%. Seven @entity1 have local or regional recurrence; all except one was salvaged with additional surgery and/or radiotherapy. The survival results are comparable to open craniofacial resection. Our results showed that @entity1504 (Kadish stage C) increased the risk for disease recurrence. Loco-regional regional recurrence can be salvaged with addition surgery and/or radiotherapy and can achieve long-term survival. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
