[Intracranial and cervical elimination of carotid circulation as a prerequisite for operability of extensive neck tumors].
Large malignant tumours of the neck with an infiltration of the joint or internal carotid walls are mostly regarded as inoperable, if not as incurable. The cooperation between a neurosurgeon and an ENT surgeon opens the possibility, by elimination of the carotid flow, to effect a radical removal even of exceptionally extended tumours, thus offering a chance of survival for otherwise incurable patients.
