[Clinical analysis of endonasal endoscopic surgery in esthesioneuroblastoma]

Abstract

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics of esthesioneuroblastoma and the efficacy of endonasal endoscopic surgery combined with radiotherapy/chemotherapy. Methods:The clinical and surgical data of 17 patients with esthesioneuroblastoma who underwent endonasal endoscopic surgery in our department from September 2009 to June 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. Results:Among all patients, the modified Kadish stage B was identified in 4 patients, C in 10 patients, and D in 3 patients. Ten of them underwent endonasal endoscopic surgery without neck dissection in one day, whose average operation time is （5.2±2.5） hours and average blood loss is （192±162）mL. Skull base reconstructions were performed in 15 patients, postoperative complications were observed in 3 patients, and negative margins were obtained in 13 patients. All 17 patients were followed up for an average of （49.7±40.2） months. Three patients died and 6 had recurrence and/or metastasis. The 1-year, 2-year and 5-year overall survival rates were 88.2%, 80.2%, and 80.2%, respectively, and the 1-year, 2-year and 5-year disease-free survival rates were 82.4%, 82.4%, and 50.8%, respectively. The 2-year overall survival rates of patients with negative and positive margins were 100% and 25%, respectively, while the 2-year disease-free survival rates were 61.5% and 25.0%, respectively. Conclusion:Endonasal endoscopic surgery combined with radiotherapy/chemotherapy can achieve satisfactory effect in esthesioneuroblastoma, and the prognosis of patients with positive margins is poor.
