Extended Surgical Techniques in Advanced Aggressive Head and Neck Tumors: Presentation of Three Cases
Journal Title: Journal of Clinical and Analytical Medicine - Year 2012, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Extended surgery is described as extensive surgical interventions beyond classical definitions and margins. We aimed to investigate our extended surgical techniques in three cases with advanced aggressive head and neck tumors of skin and soft tissue origin. After radical wide surgical resections, two patients had survival periods of more than expected with an acceptable functional and psychological palliation, although, one patient was lost due to infectious complications. The experience obtained from these two patients is encouraging. Our observations suggest that extended radical surgical resections may be performed successfully for the patients with advanced and aggressive head and neck tumors in experienced centers.
