PG - 325-331 LID - S0890-5096(19)30767-8 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.avsg.2019.08.088 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: Carotid body tumor (CBT) is the most common head and neck paragangliomas. Surgical resection is the golden standard management for CBT. While preoperative embolization is still controversial, long-term outcomes and perioperative results are still deficient. We, here, presented the outcomes of surgical treatment for CBT without preoperative embolization at our institution. METHODS: In this retrospective study, we collected data from 101 patients who received surgical treatment for CBTs without preoperative embolization from 2011 to 2016. In addition, we attempted to conduct 2 years of follow-up under the guidance of both neurologist and vascular surgeon. Patients' demographics, clinical characteristics, complications, and follow-up results were all analyzed with descriptive statistics. RESULTS: Complete resection of the CBT was achieved in 101 cases (100%). Postoperative adverse events (AEs) mostly observed during hospitalization were as follows: tongue bias (I: 4, 36.4%; II: 8, 19.5%; III: 13, 26.5%), hoarseness (I: 1, 9.1%; II: 4, 9.8%; III: 7, 14.3%), dysphagia (I: 0; II: 2, 4.9%; III: 7, 14.3%), and hematoma (I: 0; II: 0; III: 1, 2.0%). No other serious AEs were observed. The total incidence of AEs in type I patients was 5 (45.5%), 14 (34.1%) in type II, and 28 (57.1%) in type III, and the type III group has significantly higher than the other two groups. At the end of 2 years of follow-up, there were no AEs in type I patients. The number of patients with AEs in type III was greater than that in type II, although there was no significant difference. Based on our findings, 3 most commonly injured cranial nerves (CNs) after surgical resection of CBT were CN XII (hypoglossal nerve, 21.9%), CN X (vagus nerve, 20.3%), and recurrent laryngeal nerve (18.8%). CONCLUSIONS: Surgical management without preoperative embolization for CBT patients is a safe and effective therapeutic approach. CI - Copyright (c) 2019. Published by Elsevier Inc.
