Despite the short follow-up in this small series of patients, we suggest endoscopic surgery combined with postoperative radiation therapy as an alternative to the conventional modalities of treatment for esthesioneuroblastoma in selected cases.
The flap was successful in all cases without flap necrosis, fistula or complications in the donor site. After radiation therapy, flap tissues remained sufficiently soft, trophic and mobile. Ultrasound evaluation of tongue mobility, performed at the time of discharge, as well as 3 and 6 months after surgery, showed normal bolus propulsion. Cinefluoroscopy also showed good function of the reconstructed tongue.
OBJETIVOS: Identificar a presença das características definidoras Medo e Ansiedade no pré-operatório imediato de 50 pacientes submetidas à cirurgia ginecológica, e verificar a Síndrome da Ansiedade Perioperatória. MÉTODOS: Estudo de coorte de caráter transversal teve como objetivo Realizado na Unidade de Ginecologia do Hospital São Paulo em maio de 2007. RESULTADOS: Confirmou-se a presença dos diagnósticos de interesse em 48 pacientes (96,0%) do total de 50 mulheres (100,0%). A Síndrome da Ansiedade Perioperatória foi identificada em 48 (96,0%) das pacientes. CONCLUSÃO: A pesquisa comprovou a presença dos diagnósticos Medo e Ansiedade, devido às manifestações clínicas, também contribuintes para evidenciar a Síndrome da Ansiedade Perioperatória
