Abstract
Background
Open surgery is the standard treatment for fibroadipose vascular anomalies (FAVA). This study evaluated an endoscopic approach for FAVA, assessing its safety and feasibility.
Methods
Data from October 1, 2019, and May 1, 2024, were analyzed from the Vascular Anomalies Center database at our institution. Patients with FAVA Stage I (pain stage) or II (contracture stage) were included and divided into the endoscopic surgery group (ESG) and open surgery group (OSG).
Results
In total, 101 patients underwent 110 procedures. In ESG, 42 patients (16 males and 26 females; 31 with Stage I and 11 with Stage II) underwent radical excision (with tendon lengthening in 2 patients). Ten patients underwent an open surgery. In OSG, 63 patients (18 males and 45 females; 30 with Stage I and 33 with Stage II) underwent radical excision (with tendon lengthening in 12 patients). The OSG had significantly shorter operative time than the ESG (p = 0.009). Furthermore, The OSG had longer hospitalization time (p = 0.022) than the ESG. The blood loss in the OSG was greater than that in the ESG, but without statistical difference (p = 0.069). During follow-up, the incidence of wound complications (p = 0.121) and residual symptoms (p = 0.179) were slightly higher in the OSG.
Conclusions
Endoscopic surgery is a safe and effective treatment for FAVA, promoting faster habilitation and improved patient satisfaction. This method may also serve as a reference for the excision of other benign muscle and soft tissue masses.
期刊介绍:
The journal presents original contributions as well as a complete international abstracts section and other special departments to provide the most current source of information and references in pediatric surgery. The journal is based on the need to improve the surgical care of infants and children, not only through advances in physiology, pathology and surgical techniques, but also by attention to the unique emotional and physical needs of the young patient.
