Abstract
Objective

We carried out this study in patients who underwent resection of carotid body tumour (CBT). Shamblin's classification system was used, as well as the modified Shamblin classification. We sought to determine whether surgical time and bleeding could be reduced with the use of the LigaSure® system.

Methods

A prospective study was carried out in patients with CBT.

Results

A decrease in both time and bleeding was shown, although only overall time showed statistical significance. Cases were classified as Shamblin I, II and III in two, six, and four cases, respectively, and after surgical treatment were classified as modified Shamblin I, II, IIIa and IIIb in two, one, and six cases, respectively, by infiltration to the carotid. There was nerve damage in four cases, and there were three carotid resections.

Conclusions

Use of LigaSure® decreased bleeding and surgical time in CBTs. Lesions of the artery are mainly caused by infiltration or by muscular hypotrophy of the artery, which frequently requires vascular reconstruction. Nerve injury continues to be an important postoperative complication, which may result in a reduction in the quality of life for the patient. The rates of nerve injury as a result of surgery were unchanged.

Resumen
Objetivo

Realizamos este estudio en pacientes a quienes se les realizó resección de tumores del cuerpo carotídeo (TCC). La clasificación de Shamblin fue usada, así como también la clasificación de Shamblin modificada. Tratamos de determinar si el tiempo quirúrgico y el sangrado podrían ser disminuidos con el uso de LigaSure®.

Métodos

Se realizo un estudio prospectivo en pacientes con TCC.

Resultados

Se muestra una clara disminución en ambas cifras, tiempo y sangrado; sin embargo, las diferencias sólo fueron estadísticamente significativas para el tiempo. Se encontraban en Shamblin I, II y III, 2, 6 y 4 casos, respectivamente, y tras el tratamiento quirúrgico la clasificación Shamblin varió a I, II, IIIa y IIIb en 2, 1, 1 y 6 casos, respectivamente, por infiltración a la carótida.

Conclusiones

El uso de LigaSure® disminuye el sangrado y el tiempo quirúrgico en los TCC. Las lesiones de la arteria son principalmente causadas por infiltración o por hipotrofia de la muscular de la arteria, que frecuentemente requieren reconstrucción vascular. Las lesiones nerviosas continúan siendo una complicación postoperatoria importante que puede provocar una disminución en la calidad de vida de los pacientes. La tasa de lesiones nerviosas como resultado de la cirugía permanece sin cambios.
