Abstract | BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to investigate the complications after maxillary swing nasopharyngectomy. METHODS: Salvage nasopharyngectomy was performed for 338 patients during 1990 to 2012. Patient and tumor characteristics, perioperative and intraoperative information, and long-term morbidities were analyzed. RESULTS: There were significantly more patients with locally advanced tumors (rT3 and rT4) operated during the recent study period (2002-2012). However, the mean operative time and blood loss was significantly lower than in the earlier period (1990-2001). There was no hospital mortality. There was a significant reduction in the postoperative trismus and palatal fistula formation. Patients with locally advanced tumor, particularly those who required adjuvant chemoradiation, had a higher chance of facial numbness, nasal blockage, and swallowing problems after surgery. CONCLUSION: Salvage nasopharyngectomy via the maxillary swing approach is safe with acceptable long-term morbidities. Prevention of complications associated with surgery, particularly for patients with locally advanced tumors, is crucial to ensure the best outcome of surgery. (c) 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
