ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE The short-term efficacy of endoscopic adenoid hypothermic plasma ablation and its effect on Eustachian tube function. METHODS 75 patients with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome who were treated in our hospital from March 2013 to March 2015 were divided into two groups according to the different operative methods: nasal power cutting group(30 cases) and low temperature plasma ablation group(45 cases), comparison of the two groups of patients with surgery time, intraoperative blood loss and follow-up after 6 months of clinical efficacy and Eustachian tube function. RESULTS The time of resection, operation time and intraoperative blood loss were significantly better in the low-temperature plasma ablation group than that in the rhinectomy group, the difference was statistically significant(P0.05). CONCLUSION The clinical efficacy of low-temperature plasma ablation is close to nasal dynamic cutting, but low-temperature plasma ablation surgery in the amount of bleeding was significantly less than the nasal excision. This surgical approach is minimally invasive and safe, but its postoperative secondary infection and secondary bleeding is high, so this need for further study.
