[Coblation for benign hyperplasia of tongue base under endoscope]
Abstract
Objective: To investigate the feasibility and efficacy of coblation on benign hyperplasia of tongue base under endoscopy.
Method: Fifty cases with benign hyperplasia at tongue root including tonsillar hypertrophy, lymphangioma and papillary epithelioma were treated with coblation under endoscopy and analyzed retrospectively. The post-operative Hemorrhage and pain and therapeutic effect were observed. And the follow-up was 16 to 32 months.
Result: All the tumors were resected completely. The postoperative pain was mild. The patients could eat on the day of surgery without dysfunction of pronunciation and respiratory. The VAS score of foreign body sensation in pharynx was decreased from 81.5 +/- 9.6 to 13.5 +/- 3.9 after surgery (P < 0.01). The recovery rate was 96%, excellence rate was 4% and total effective rate was 100%. Besides, there was no recurrence.
Conclusion: Coblation is a safe, effective and minimally invasive way to treat benign hyperplasia of tongue base under endoscopy.
