Abstract:
Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP) is characterized by repeated recurrence in the respiratory system, such as the pharynx, larynx, and trachea, caused by the human papilloma virus. The main treatment is surgical removal of the papilloma. However repeated recurrence of RRP in multiple areas is burdened for the surgeon. In addition to the surgery, various adjuvant therapies have been studied to reduce the recurrence. Literature review was conducted with a focus on the adjuvant treatments for RRP.
