Area of Science:

  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Surgical Innovation
  • Anatomical Dissection

Background:

  • Endoscopic techniques are widely used in abdominal surgery.
  • Their application in neck surgery remains largely unexplored.
  • This study investigates the feasibility of endoscopic neck procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the feasibility of anterior deep cervical fascia dissection using standard endoscopic techniques.
  • To identify potential complications and challenges in porcine models.
  • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of endoscopic neck surgery.

Main Methods:

  • A pilot study utilizing a case series design.
  • Ten porcine subjects underwent anterior deep cervical fascia dissection.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Standard endoscopic instrumentation and CO2 insufflation were employed.

    • Main Results:

    • Balloon dissection and CO2 insufflation led to complications including chest dissection and gas embolism.
    • Carotid artery occlusion and limited visualization increased the risk of injury to adjacent structures.
    • Significant challenges were observed during the endoscopic procedures.

    Conclusions:

    • Current endoscopic techniques present safety concerns for human neck surgery.
    • Further research and technological development are necessary.
    • Endoscopic neck surgery may become a viable option in the future with advancements.
