Abstract
Objectives: Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis is a benign disease caused by human papillomavirus that often requires frequent surgical intervention. In the UK, microdebridement is the most common technique compared to 3.3 per cent of procedures performed with coblation. This is the first study to compare the efficacy and safety profile of microdebriders versus coblation in children.
Methods: Demographic data and surgical outcomes were collected retrospectively for all children with recurrent respiratory papillomatosis over an eight-year period.
Results: Seventeen children with recurrent respiratory papillomatosis underwent a total of three hundred operations, including 182 coblation (60.7 per cent) and 113 microdebrider procedures (37.7 per cent). The complication rate was 3.8 per cent for coblation and 7.1 per cent for microdebridement (p = 0.22). There was no significant difference in the time interval between coblation and microdebrider procedures (p = 0.21).
Conclusion: In children with recurrent respiratory papillomatosis, this study demonstrated a comparable efficacy and safety profile for surgical intervention with coblation versus the currently favoured microdebrider technique.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Laryngology & Otology (JLO) is a leading, monthly journal containing original scientific articles and clinical records in otology, rhinology, laryngology and related specialties. Founded in 1887, JLO is absorbing reading for ENT specialists and trainees. The journal has an international outlook with contributions from around the world, relevant to all specialists in this area regardless of the country in which they practise. JLO contains main articles (original, review and historical), case reports and short reports as well as radiology, pathology or oncology in focus, a selection of abstracts, book reviews, letters to the editor, general notes and calendar, operative surgery techniques, and occasional supplements. It is fully illustrated and has become a definitive reference source in this fast-moving subject area. Published monthly an annual subscription is excellent value for money.
