For three years we operated sixty two 7-16-year-old children for angiofibroma of the base of the skull. To reduce the risk of massive intra- and postoperative bleeding, we used preoperative endovascular occlusion of the vessels carrying blood to the tumor. In addition to preventive administration of vicasol, ethamsilate, dicinon and transamine, we used highly effective hemostatic drugs tahocomb and novo-seven intraoperatively in case of massive blood loss. Neither lethal outcomes nor complications occurred in children during removal of angiofibromas of the base of the skull. |
