Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effect and feasibility of coblation for laryngeal papilloma in adults under suspension laryngoscope.
Method: A retrospective study of the effect of coblation for 21 cases of laryngeal papilloma in adults was done from April 2008 to September 2010, including 4 multiple and 17 single laryngeal papilloma. All cases were treated with CoblatorTM ReFlex #7070 under general anesthesia without tracheotomy.
Results: All the cases were treated in 1 session. Follow-ups were performed from 17 months to 46 months after surgery with 2 cases of recurrence. The volume of bleeding loss during surgery varied from 1 mL to 10 mL, 2 mL on average, with no bleeding or other complications postoperatively.
Conclusion: Coblation under suspension laryngoscope for laryngeal papilloma in adults is an ideal method because of less bleeding and damage.
