Abstract

Liječenje tumora glave i vrata kompleksan je problem čije rješavanje često zahtijeva multidisciplinaran pristup. Jedna od potencijalno korisnih pomoćnih intervencija u terapiji ovih tumora jest preoperativna embolizacija, čija je učinkovitost predmet rasprave brojnih istraživanja. Glavni cilj preoperativne embolizacije je pojednostavljenje resekcije tumora smanjenjem intraoperativnog gubitka krvi i održavanjem operativnog polja čistim, skraćenje trajanja zahvata i vremena pacijenta provedenog pod anestezijom, te posljedično smanjenje kirurškog morbiditeta i mortaliteta. S obzirom na razvijenost modernih tehnika i dostupnost različitih radnih materijala, danas je moguća individualizacija embolizacijskog pristupa prema specifičnim potrebama svakog pacijenta i tumora. Ovaj pregledni rad pruža sažetak trenutnih metoda, sredstava i saznanja u kontekstu preoperativne embolizacije tumora glave i vrata te naglašava njenu korist u liječenju određenih novotvorina kao što su juvenilni nazofaringealni angiofibromi ili meningeomi.

Abstract (english)

The treatment of head and neck tumors is a complex issue which often necessitates a multidisciplinary approach. One potentially useful therapeutic intervention is preoperative embolization, whose effectiveness is an ongoing subject of debate between studies. Preoperative embolization aims to simplify tumor resection by reducing intraoperative blood loss and keeping the operative field clean while shortening procedure duration and patient time spent under anesthesia - thereby reducing surgical morbidity and mortality. Due to present day advancements of modern techniques and availability of different embolization materials, the embolization approach can be individually tailored to suit the specific needs of every patient and tumor. This review offers an outline of contemporary methods, materials and understandings of preoperative head and neck tumor embolization, in addition to emphasizing the merits of its inclusion in the treatment of certain neoplasms such as juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibromas or meningiomas.
