The recurrent rate of nasal endoscopic microsurgical skills for the treatment of nasal inverted papilloma: a meta-analysis / 临床耳鼻咽喉头颈外科杂志

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the recurrence rate of nasal inverted papilloma treating by endoscopic and non-endoscopic approach.@*METHOD@#A search on Pubmed, Medline, Springer and Elsevier databases was done to collect the reports (2001-2013) concerning different surgery treating nasal inverted papillomas, and meta-analysis was performed with RevMan 5.0 software.@*RESULT@#Twelve papers (2001-2013) concerning the different surgery approach treating nasal inverted papillomas were retrieved. The heterogeneity test indicated that the 12 studies were consistent statistically (Q = 14.64, df = 11, P = 0.20), the data from these 12 studies could be analyzed by fixed effect model. After combination of these data, those of 1012 subjects accepted endoscopic surgical intervention and 359 subjects treating by non-endoscopic surgical intervention were collected. Test of overall effect by fixed effect model showed that the recurrence rate of inverted papilloma was significantly lower in endoscopic group than in non-endoscopic group (OR = 0.49, 95% CI was 0.35-0.69, P < 0.01). Funnel plot implied that publication bias was not obvious.@*CONCLUSION@#The recurrence rate of inverted papilloma was significantly lower in endoscopic group than in non-endoscopic group.
