Abstract

This article presents a combined approach to the nasopharynx, which has not been previously described. The technique is applicable to cases of recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma which exhibit lateral extension. We describe the technique and report a case in which it was used. A review is presented of all other techniques currently described. The authors would not advocate the use of a combined approach to the nasopharynx in all cases, but there certainly appears to be a place for this technique.
