Abstract
Objectives: To determine the rate of complete surgical resection in parapharyngeal space selected tumors treated with transoral and / or transnasal approach. Design: Descriptive, retrospective. Materials and methods: Patients who had tumors localized in parapharyngealspace and who were treated with transoral or transnasal surgery. were included in this study. The transoral approach consisted in performing an incision with cautery in the area of greates tumor protrusion (tonsillar pillar and palate), dissection of the mucosa and tumor of the deep planes, pulling it into the oral cavity. To dissect the upper limit (nasopharynx) and lateral we used endoscopes that were inserted by the incision and the nasal cavity. The transnasal approach consisted in making an incision in the side wall of the nasopharynx and dissect the tumor of the deep plane pulling it towards the cavum. Results: Three patients were treated with transoral and one byendonasalapproacheswho had parapharyngeal space tumors. Three tumors originated in minor salivary glands located in prestyloidspace (1/3), masticator space (1/3) and upper sector of pree-styloid space (1/3). Histology was in two pleomorphic adenoma, and another onelow degree mucoepidermoid carcinoma (1/3). A neoplasm was originated in the deep lobe of the parotid gland and was extended to the prestyloid space, was a moderate degree of mucoepidermoid carcinoma. Conclusions: Complete resection rate in patients with selected parapharyngeal space tumors, treated by transorally and endonasal approach was 100%
