| Summary: | Surgical salvage for local recurrence in nasopharyngeal
cancer has emerged as an important treatment option.
The surgical approaches are divided into inferiorly by
midline mandibulotomy or median labiomandibular
glossotomy, laterally by facial translocation or
transpterygoid approach and anteroposteriorly by
maxillary swing or maxillectomy approach.
To illustrate our surgical approach for nasopharyngectomy
in two cases of recurrence nasopharyngeal cancer by
means of endoscopic assisted Lefort I osteotomy.
Both patient had achieved complete en-bloc resection of
the tumor with the margins were free of the cancer. The
morbidity of the surgical approach was minimal and the
functional recovery after surgery is excellent.
This surgical approach is a viable alternative for early
stage in recurrence of nasopharyngeal cancer where the
morbidity is minimal and excellent recovery. |
