Resumen
ZABALETA-LOPEZ, Marta et al. Surgical anatomy of soft palate carcinoma. A systematic review. Rev. ORL [online]. 2020, vol.11, n.4, pp.427-437. Epub 15-Mar-2021. ISSN 2444-7986. https://dx.doi.org/14201/orl.23103.
Introduction and objetive:
To describe clinical and anatomical features, and surgical treatment including several techniques of reconstructive surgery of soft palate carcinomas.
Method:
We conducted a narrative review about soft palate carcinomas. We made a review on soft palate tumours pointing out anatomical details and most employed reconstructive surgical techniques for soft palate carcinoma´s removal.
Conclusions:
The incidence of oropharyngeal carcinoma is increasing world-wide esentially due to increasing prevalence of human papillomavirus. Initially, soft palate tumours are silent and we should suspect them to avoid late diagnosis. Transoral surgery development has promoted surgical treatment in these tumours and allows better management and need for adjuvant therapy. Reconstruction is mandatory when resection is over 50% of the soft palate.
