ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE To discuss the clinical efficacy of low-temperature radiofrequency ablaion for the treatment of neonatal tongue base cyst.METHODS Clinical data of 7 patients under the cystectomy with congenital tongue base cyst from July 2014 to Jan 2017 were reviewed.Diagnoses were confirmed by the medical history,electronic laryngoscopy and imaging examinations.RESULTS The tongue base cyst were totally removed in 7 patients and no 1 received invasive procedure.Follow-up survey ranged from 3 months to 2 years and only 1 case recurred in 6 months.CONCLUSION Low-temperature radiofrequency ablaion is a promising method for the neonatal tongue base cyst with less trauma and haemorrhage.Electronic laryngoscopy as a noninvasive,convenient,accurate examination method can be widely used in the diagnosis of neonatal upper airway obstruction diseases and postoperative follow-up of neonatal throat surgery.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE To investigate the efficacy of coblation for early glottic cancer. METHODS Twenty-two patients with early glottic carcinoma (Tis-T2) without lymph node metastasis accepted resection of laryngeal cancer lesions using transoral endoscopic coblation,without pre-operative or post-operative radiotherapy and chemotherapy. All the patients were followed up for 30 to 70 months. RESULTS No severe complications such as dyspnea and bleeding occurred in these cases.Only mild postoperative pain happened to the patients.All patients could swallow and speak after operation. No recurrence occurred in 21 cases till now. One case, with poorly differentiated squarnous cell lesion in the anterior commissure invading subglottic area, recurred 4 months after operation. Salvage partial laryngectomy was performed and no recurrence was found after salvage operation. CONCLUSION The result suggests that transoral endoscopic coblation is a good method for early glottic cancer. It is worth popularizing.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE@#To study the clinical valuation of different operation methods in treatment primary trigeminal neuralgia by retrosigmoidal approach.@*METHOD@#The clinical data of 165 cases with primary trigeminal neuralgia were studied, all head MRI(B-FFE) examination was made before surgery. According to patients' face sensation and cerebellopontine angle conditions, different operation methods were choose.@*RESULT@#Among of 165 cases, 7 cases with face numbness and sensory loss symptom before surgery, were treated with partial rhizotomy of trigeminal sensory root and nerve combing and all cured, followed-up study 3.5 to 5.0 years and no relapse and face sequelae is same as before; 145 cases with blood vessel compression and no face sequelae were treated with microvascular decompression and nerve combing of trigeminal nerve sensory root, 144 cases were cured and 1 case relieve, 15 cases with herpes simplex were cured after 1-2 weeks, 4 cases with oral lips or tongue numbness were cured after 1-3 months. Followed-up study 3 to 5 years,3 cases relapse and after second same operation methods cured. Among of 13 cases without face sequelae, 5 cases with artery compression were not suit to microvascular decompression and 8 cases without blood vessel compression. All these cases were treated with surface coagulation and nerve combing of trigeminal nerve sensory root, 2 cases with herpes simplex were cured after one week. Followed-up studying of 3.2 to 5.0 years, one case relapse, All 13 cases were cured and no neuralgia relapse and no severe sequelae. Among the 165 cases, two cases died of hemorrhage cephalon in operation or postoperation.@*CONCLUSION@#It is a safe and effective way to choose different methods combine to treat primary trigeminal neuralgia according to patients' face sensation and cerebellopontine angle conditions, but the risk of operation should not be ignored.

OBJECTIVE To study the clinical value of superficial layer coagulation of trigeminal sensory root in the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia. METHODS The clinical data of 5 cases with trigeminal neuralgia were studied. Head MRI (B-FFE) examinations were made before surgery and operations were performed via retrosigmoidal approach. One case with left facial pain showed 3 arteries with offsets crossing and compressing the left trigeminal nerve. Among 4 cases with right facial pain,3 cases had an artery compressing the right trigeminal and the nerve were distorted and moved from its original site,one case with an artery going with trigeminal nerve sensory root branchlets. All cases were no indications for microvascular decompression and thus were treated with surface coagulation of trigeminal nerve sensory root. RESULTS Pain disappeared instantly after operation and facial sensory were retained. All cases were followed up for 2.4 to 5 years and no recurrences were found. CONCLUSION Superficial layer coagulation of trigeminal sensory root is a safe and effective method for the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia.
