Of the 71 cases, there were 60 cases of benign tumor and 11 cases of malignant tumor. All patients were partially and completely removed. The all operations were successful. 10 cases appeared postoperative complications, but no obvious serious complications. Symptoms of other patients with complications are relieved after the medical treatment, and the remaining patients recovered and discharged.
