title: [Surgery of nasopharyngeal angiofibroma].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study the operations of nasopharyngeal angiofibroma.
  
  
  METHODS
  Twenty-two patients with nasopharyngeal angiofibroma operated by various operative approaches were studied in this research. All their clinic data were collected and analyzed.
  
  
  RESULTS
  In the operation, the brooding amount was from 400 ml to 1600 ml. One case was recurred in half a year after operation. The other 21 cases didn't recur after one to two years follow-up.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  In order to improve the treatment, reduce the recurrence of tumor and decrease brooding in operation, better preparation before surgery, reasonable surgical route,external carotid artery delegation, embolization under digital subtraction angiography(DSA) and resecting the all tumor as possible in the operation are very important
