Objective:
To evaluate the effect and feasibility of coblation treatment for laryngeal papilloma in adult.
Methods:
A 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.
Results:
The 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.
Conclusion:
Coblation under suspension laryngoscope for laryngeal papilloma in adult was an ideal way due to less bleeding and less damage.
