Results All 26 surgeries were successful and there was no perioperative mortality. The mean time of operation was 110±32 minutes, and the mean time of hospital stay was 8.1±2.3 days. The mean follow-up time of 22 patients was 75±11 months ranging 15-190 months. There were 4 patients who were lost to follow-up. There were three recurrences and one late death.
