Abstract
Paragangliomas are rare neuroendocrine tumors that arise in sympathetic and parasympathetic paraganglion system, derived from neural crest cells. Tympanic paraganglioma is a type of head and neck paraganglioma involving the middle ear cleft. Endoscopic transcanal approach is currently in vogue for the excision of tympanic paragangliomas that is limited to middle ear cleft. We present a series of 3 cases who underwent endoscopic excision of tympanic paraganglioma.
期刊介绍:
Laparoscopic, Endoscopic and Robotic Surgery aims to provide an academic exchange platform for minimally invasive surgery at an international level. We seek out and publish the excellent original articles, reviews and editorials as well as exciting new techniques to promote the academic development.
Topics of interests include, but are not limited to:
▪ Minimally invasive clinical research mainly in General Surgery, Thoracic Surgery, Urology, Neurosurgery, Gynecology & Obstetrics, Gastroenterology, Orthopedics, Colorectal Surgery, Otolaryngology, etc.;
▪ Basic research in minimally invasive surgery;
▪ Research of techniques and equipments in minimally invasive surgery, and application of laparoscopy, endoscopy, robot and medical imaging;
▪ Development of medical education in minimally invasive surgery.
