eng	Interfascial Pressure Monitoring in Head and Neck Oncology	Objectives: By monitoring interstitial pressure, we believe that it is possible to predict the development of compartment syndrome in patients after oncosurgical procedures of the neck. Study design: Prospective randomized study. Methods: The sample consists of 30 surgically treated patients with tumor(s) in the head and neck area. Ages ranged from 29-75 years (average age: 57.8, SD 12.6); 26 men and 4 women. During surgery, a silicone microchip sensor, the Codman Microsensor, was implanted into the soft neck tissues. The microchip sensor was used to measure interstitial pressure for 48 hours after surgery. A Codman ICP (Intracranial Pressure) Microsensor basic kit and a Codman Express (Codman ICP Monitoring System) were used for the measurements. Results: The range of pressures recorded in the tissues was 5.08-9.56 mmHg, (mean 7.3 SD 0.9). Maximum pressures were recorded 13-15 hours after surgery. The values present 21?34 hours after surgery correspond to nighttime hours and periods of sleep. Conclusions: The feasibility of interfascial pressure measurement in the neck area after extensive surgery to treat neck tumor illnesses was verified in a human clinical experiment along with its potential in predicting neck compartment syndrome development.
