Abstract:
Objective To analyze the application of low-temperature plasma technology in nasal endoscope cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea repair surgery. Methods Ten patients with cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea from August 2016 to September 2017 were collected, including 5 cases of spontaneous rhinorrhea, and 2 cases after transsphenoidal pituitary surgery, 1 case after nasal polyps and 2 cases after trauma. The repair of cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea under nasal endoscope was performed in 10 cases, and the low-temperature plasma technique was used to treat the herniated brain tissue or the soft tissue around the leaks, and the autologous material was used for repair. Results All the patients were followed up for 6 months, and all patients recovered without complications and second operation in cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea. Conclusions Low-temperature plasma technique plays an important role in the repair of cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea under nasal endoscope. It has the unique advantage of small heat injury, quick recovery, thorough clearance of mucous membrane and no bleeding.
