- Abstract: Objective To analyze the clinical value of temperature-controlled ablation radio-frequency(TCAR)as a surgical option for the treatment of pediatric snoring.Method This study selected 120 children with snoring from January 2021 to December 2022 for observation.They were divided into the control group(n=60,receiving tonsil removal+nasal underopia gland scraping therapy)and the observation group(n=60,using TCAR to remove patients with gland samples and tonsils)using a random number table method.The clinical efficacy,surgery-related situation and sleep quality were compared.Results The effective rate of observation group was 93.33%,which was significantly higher than 76.67%of the control group.The intraoperative blood loss in the observation group was less than that in the control group,the operation time,symptom remission time and hospital stay were shorter,and the VAS was lower than those in the control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in the comparison of Quebec sleep questionnaire(QSQ)score,Epworth sleepiness scale(ESS),and disease specific quality of life for children with obstructive sleep apnea 18 items survey(OSA-18)between the two groups of patients before surgery(P>0.05);The postoperative ESS and OSA-18 of the observation group were lower than those of the control group,while the QSQ score was higher than that of the control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05).After surgery,the QSQ scores of the two groups were higher than before surgery,while the ESS and OSA-18 of the two groups were lower than before surgery,with statistical significance(P<0.05).The postoperative complications in the observation group(1.67%)was lower than that of the control group(11.67%),with statistical significance(P<0.05).Conclusion Compared with traditional surgery,TCAR for tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy in children with snoring can improve clinical efficacy,further improve ventilation capacity,reduce patient pain,shorten symptom relief time,improve sleep quality and living standards,and reduce the risk of postoperative complications.
