Abstract
Purpose: Intraoperative identification and excision of specific lymphadenopathies is not always easy; it is, therefore, important to have complementary techniques that help us in the identification of these structures intraoperatively. The aim of this study is to present preliminary results of the use of ROLL technique (radioguided occult lesion localisation) as a method of excisional biopsy in the head and neck territory.
Material and methods: We present 10 cases of patients with difficult to localise lymphadenopathies in the head and neck territory that underwent the ROLL technique. The radiotracer was only injected in the nodes that we wanted to study; in this way, all of them were correctly identified and extracted without resecting those that had no signs of pathology avoiding removing healthy lymphatic tissue and reducing morbidity.
Results: The ROLL technique is a useful technique, since in all of the patients, the previously marked adenopathy was accurately identified and excised; we reduced the intraoperative time and avoided the complications derived from more aggressive cervical exploratory surgeries.
目的:术中识别和切除特定淋巴腺病变并非易事;因此,拥有有助于术中识别这些结构的辅助技术非常重要。本研究旨在介绍使用 ROLL 技术(放射引导隐匿病灶定位)作为头颈部切除活检方法的初步结果:我们介绍了 10 例接受 ROLL 技术检查的头颈部难以定位的淋巴腺病患者。放射性示踪剂只注入我们想研究的淋巴结;这样,所有淋巴结都能被正确识别和提取,无需切除无病理迹象的淋巴结,避免了切除健康淋巴组织,降低了发病率:结果:ROLL技术是一项非常有用的技术,因为在所有患者中,之前有标记的腺病都得到了准确识别和切除;我们缩短了术中时间,避免了更激进的宫颈探查手术带来的并发症。
