Abstract: Objective The study aims to evaluate the utility of bipolar electrocoagulation forceps in the surgical management of Shamblin III carotid body tumours(CBT). Methods A retrospective analysis of the clinical data of 12 patients with Shamblin III type tumours treated at our hospital was performed. All patients underwent preoperative evaluation including neck ultrasound, Computed Tomography Angiography(CTA), Magnetic Resonance Imaging(MRI), and Digital Subtraction Angiography(DSA). The study was divided into a control group and an observation group. The control group underwent traditional surgical resection, while the observation group used bipolar electrocoagulation forceps as an adjunct to surgery. All operations were performed by the same team of surgeons. Differences between the two groups in intraoperative indicators and postoperative complication rates were compared. Results The intraoperative blood loss in the bipolar coagulation forceps group was significantly lower than that in the traditional surgery group(298 mL vs. 633 mL), and the surgical time was also notably shorter in the bipolar coagulation group(201 minutes vs. 326 minutes). The incidence of postoperative complications in the surgical group(16.7%)was significantly lower than that in the control group(100.0%), with a statistically significant difference(P<0.05). Conclusion With comprehensive preoperative evaluation and a rational surgical plan, the use of bipolar electrocoagulation forceps to assist in the resection of Shamblin Ⅲ-type carotid body tumours can reduce blood loss, shorten operation time, and decrease postoperative complications, thereby significantly improving surgical safety.
