Preoperative tumor embolization and microscopic dissection in the capsular-adventitial plane are useful techniques for safely excising bilateral carotid body tumors while preserving the carotid arteries.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
May support embolization and plane-specific dissection in select bilateral cases; hypothesis-generating, requiring prospective validation before broader adoption.

Hasegawa et al. (1992) conducted a case report in Bilateral carotid body tumors (n=1). Preoperative selective embolization and surgical excision in the capsular-adventitial plane was evaluated on Surgical excision success and blood loss. Preoperative selective embolization and dissection in the capsular-adventitial plane allowed for successful excision of bilateral carotid body tumors with preservation of the carotid arteries and minimal blood loss.
