Abstract
Tumors of the parapharyngeal space are rare. Owing to the deep location and minimal symptoms in early stages, they typically present at an advanced stage. Traditional transmandibular techniques of excision are associated with a high degree of morbidity, and low acceptance by patients for what is in most cases a benign condition. However, most of these tumors can be removed very elegantly via a transcervical approach, with minimal morbidity. This article presents our technique for transcervical removal of parapharyngeal tumors. Using this technique, the risk of complications is low, and oncologic outcomes are excellent.
