Endoscopy‐Assisted Transoral Approach to Resect Parapharyngeal Space Tumors: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis
Abstract
By comparing the endoscopy‐assisted transoral approach (EATA) with external approaches (EAs) for the resection of parapharyngeal space tumors (PPSTs), we determined whether the EATA has advantages in terms of operation time, intraoperative bleeding volume, postoperative hospitalization, drainage volume, and complications. At the same time, we summarized the surgical indications for the EATA.
