Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the long-term outcome and clinical value of utilizing plasma radio frequency ablation under indirect laryngoscope in treatment of recurrence of adenoidal hypertrophy.
METHOD:Fifty patients with recurrence of adenoidal hypertrophy were subjected to the operation designed by our group.
RESULT:The period of follow-up was more then 2 years. All patients were free of snore postoperatively; conductive hearing loss was improved as well.
CONCLUSION:Operation with plasma radiofrequency ablation had advantages of direct and clear view of surgical area, accurate remove of adenoids, non-bleeding, avoiding damage of normal nasopharyngeal structure structures, minimal invasion, high safety, and little complication, in treatment of recurrence of adenoidal hypertrophy.
