Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo evaluate the effect and feasibility of coblation treatment for laryngeal papilloma in adult.
METHODSA total of 18 patients with laryngeal papilloma treated by coblation from April 2008 to June 2010 was retrospectively analysed. There were 4 cases of multiple laryngeal papilloma and 14 cases of single laryngeal papilloma. All of these patients were treated with CoblatorTM Reflex #7070 under general anesthesia without tracheotomy.
RESULTSThe volumes of blood loss during surgery varied from 1 ml to 10 ml, 2 ml on average. There was no postoperative bleeding or other complications. Follow-ups ranged from 6 months to 33 months after surgery, median 18 months. Recurrence occurred 4 months and 8 months after surgery in two patients. They were treated with coblation for the second time and followed up for 4 months and 12 months respectively. Recurrence occurred again in one patient.
CONCLUSIONCoblation under suspension laryngoscope for laryngeal papilloma in adult was an ideal way due to less bleeding and less damage.
