Hypothermia plasma ablation combination with adenoidectomy for treatment of sleep apnea syndrome / 局解手术学杂志

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.
