ABSTRACT
The author suggests a temporary ligation of external carotid artery on the lesion side before the removal of tumor in the patients with juvenile skull base angiofibroma (JSBA). Taking into account the suggested method, the patients under examination were divided into two groups: a control group (n = 33) – without preliminary temporary ligation of the external carotid artery (traditional method) and a treatment group (n = 32) – with preliminary temporary ligation of the external carotid artery.
Comparative analysis has proven the efficacy of suggested method of surgical treatment of JSBA, therefore, it can be used as an alternative to embolization of the external carotid artery territory in all regions of the Republic, i.e., where high technology equipment is not available.
