Nasopharyngectomy with operating microscope: A case series

摘要

Background: Nasopharyngectomy for excision of nasopharyngeal tumors is challenging, as access to the nasopharynx is difficult. Recently our institution embarked on two new approaches robotic nasopharyngectomy and open nasopharyngectomy with operating microscope (NOM) via maxillary swing approach. This article proposes that the novel approach of NOM via maxillary swing aids visualization for resection of locally invasive nasopharyngeal tumors.
