[Salvage surgery in unresectable tumors of the neck. Outcome after ligation of the common carotid artery].
The aim of this study was to analyze two cases with advance tumors of the neck with infiltration of the common or internal carotid artery. Patients were surgically treated in Department of Otolaryngology Poznan University of Medical Sciences. Authors present the current state of knowledge concerning the proceedings in unresectable tumors of the neck and possibility to use the salvage surgery. Based on literature data and our own experience a risk of the carotid artery infiltrations is difficult to assay in diagnostic procedure. It decrease the possibility of radical surgery resection and indicate the most advance stage. Choosing the proper treatment requires interdisciplinary cooperation: ENT specialist, radiologist, vascular surgeon and oncologist. The high rate of complications and local recurrence rate makes the results of treatment are unsatisfactory.
