Objective:
To compare the low-temperature plasma assisted way and the traditional method in surgery treating styloid process syndrome.
Method:
The clinical data from 23 patients who have a typical syndrome and need surgery treating, thirteen patients had been treated by low-temperature plasma way and the left cases by traditional one. Comparing operation time, amount of bleeding, degree of pain,time of the fake membrane falling and effort estimating.
Result:
The difference of operation time,amount of bleeding and degree of pain between low-temperature plasma and tradition in the two operation procedures is significant (P < 0.01). But time of the fake membrane falling and effort estimating of low-temperature plasma and traditional procedures are found to be similar (P > 0.05). And one patient who used the traditional operation bled when he was at home.
Conclusion:
The two operation procedures are both effective. The low-temperature plasma assisted via mouth for surgery treating elongated styloid process has a big advantage in operation time, amount of bleeding and degree of pain. For the more, it reserves the function and morphology of tonsil; which is more simple, convenient, safe and tiny wound.
