Abstract
This study provides a single-center experience involving intracapsular dissection for Shamblin II carotid body tumors (CBTs) and compares the outcomes with the classic technique of subadventitial resection. Based on the preliminary results, it seems that the enucleation technique facilitates the dissection of carotid body tumors, offering protection to cranial nerves and the internal/external/common carotid artery by utilizing the capsule as a barrier. The classic subadventitial resection approach and the enucleation technique have comparable postoperative complications. However, it is crucial to continue following the patients who underwent these resection techniques to determine the long-term outcomes. Moreover, the enucleation technique significantly reduces surgery duration and intraoperative blood loss.
