ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of nasal endoscope-assisted low temperature plasma adenoidectomy. Methods 100 patients who underwent adenoidectomy from May 2012 to August 2016 were enrolled in the study. All the patients were randomly divided into the observation group (50 cases) and control group (50 cases). Patients in the observation group underwent nasal endoscope-assisted low-temperature plasma adenoidectomy, and patients in control group was treated with nasal endoscope-assisted electric adenoidectomy. The operation time, bleeding volume, recovery time of nasal ventilation, clinical efficacy, postoperative complications of the two groups were analyzed and compared. Results In the observation group, the operation time, bleeding volume, recovery time of nasal ventilation was (4.9 ± 1.6) min, (19.6 ± 5.6) ml and (2.9 ± 0.5) d, respectively, which was significantly less than that of the control group (11.9 ± 3.9) min, (61.6 ± 12.1) ml and (5.9 ± 1.6) d, respectively (P < 0.05). The clinical efficacy of the observation group and the control group was 92.0%, and 86.0%, there was no significant difference between the two groups (P > 0.05). In the observation group, the pain index was (1.8 ± 1.0), which was significantly lower than that of the control group (5.6 ± 2.1), the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05), and there was no significant difference with respect to postoperative hemorrhage, fever and snoring (P > 0.05). In addition, there was no postoperative complication observed in the observation group, while, the complication rate of the control group was 10.0%, the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion Nasal endoscope-assisted low temperature plasma adenoidectomy is effective and safe in the treatment of adenoid hypertrophy with less pain and fewer complications, which can be used as a routine clinical treatment for adenoid hypertrophy in children.

ABSTRACT
Objective To compare the clinical effects of low-temperature plasma ablation combined with adenoidectomy and decolle-ment in the treatment for patients with sleep apnea syndrome.Methods Totally 68 patients with sleep apnea syndrome who underwent elec-tive surgical treatment in our hospital from June 2013 to February 2015 were selected as the study objects.According to the order of treat-ment,the patients were randomly divided into the control group and the observation group,with 34 cases in each group.The control group were treated by routine decollement.The observation group were treated by low-temperature plasma ablation combined with adenoidectomy.After operation,the 2 groups were followed up for 6 months.The improvement effects of different operative methods in clinical symptoms and prog-nosis of patients with sleep apnea syndrome were compared.Results The total effective rate in the observation group (97.06%)was higher than that in the control group (82.35%),and the difference was statistically significant (P <0.05).The postoperative VAS pain grading of the observation group was relatively lower.The normal proportion (50.00%) was significantly higher than that in the control group (11.76%).Patients with moderate and severe pain in the control group accounted for 44.12% and 14.71% respectively,which were signif-icantly higher than those in the observation group(P <0.05).The incidence of postoperative bleeding in the observation group(2.94%)was significantly lower than that in the control group while the incidence of fever was higher than that in the control group (P <0.05).After oper-ation and at the end of the follow-up,OSA-18 score of the observation group decreased significantly and were (46.66 ±7.87)and (33.47 ± 10.59)respectively.The decreased range was greater than those in the control group (P <0.05).Conclusion To adopt low-temperature plasma radiofrequency ablation combined with adenoidectomy in the treatment of patients with sleep apnea syndrome can improve the surgical treatment effect,reduce postoperative pain,reduce the incidence of postoperative bleeding,optimize patients’quality of life and improve the prognosis.
ABSTRACT
Objective To compare the effect of low-temperature plasma ablation and YAG laser treatment on persistent allergic rhinitis(PAR) after septoplasty and to seek adjunct surgical procedures to tackle PAR.Methods Follow-up was performed three years after randomized grouping on PAR patients ( Low-temperature plasma ablation group 127 cases and YAG laser group 1 18 cases).Visual Analog Scale (VAS) was used to evaluate symptoms,such as nasal congestion,running nose,sneezing,nasal itching,eye itching etc preoperatively and postoperatively in order to compare the treatment effectiveness and intergroup difference.Results The efficacy rate of Low-temperature plasma ablation group was 87.4％,and YAG laser group was 66.1％.The difference was statistically significant( x2 =15.74,P ＜ 0.01 ).The VAS scores for postoperative symptom relief in both groups were significantly different ( t =21.24,20.56,all P ＜ 0.0 1 ).Conclusion As an adjunct treatment approach,low-temperature plasma ablation was superior to YAG laser in the treatment of PAR with preferable safety.
