Postoperative outcomes after carotid body tumor resection: a 20-year single-center experience in Latin America- Research Protocol in Spanish

This upload corresponds to the research protocol only for a retrospective, observational, single-center study on postoperative outcomes after carotid body tumor resection. No patient data or study results are included in this record.
The protocol describes the planned methodology for a descriptive cross-sectional series of patients treated at Hospital HOK in Bogotá, Colombia, between January 2006 and June 2025. It includes detailed definitions of study design, eligibility criteria, data collection procedures, and variables of interest, such as sociodemographic characteristics, clinical presentation, perioperative factors, postoperative complications, and therapeutic interventions.
The study will be conducted and reported in accordance with the STROBE Statement guidelines to ensure methodological rigor, transparency, and completeness in the reporting of observational research.
The primary objective is to describe the frequency, clinical course, and management of complications following carotid body tumor resection, as well as to explore associated clinical and perioperative factors. This protocol emphasizes the generation of evidence from a Latin American population, contributing region-specific data to a field where most evidence is derived from high-income countries.
This document is shared to promote transparency, reproducibility, and methodological clarity prior to data analysis and publication of results.
