低温等离子射频技术在婴幼儿甲状舌管囊肿手术中的应用

目的 探讨低温等离子射频技术在婴幼儿喉内型甲状舌管囊肿手术切除中的应用.方法 实施低温等离子手术治疗由于喉内型甲状舌管囊肿引起上呼吸道梗阻的婴幼儿患者9例,回顾性分析临床资料,结合相关文献进行总结讨论.结果 9例患者均手术成功,无术后出血、感染等并发症,患者术后随访1年呼吸道梗阻消失,未复发.结论 低温等离子技术应用于婴幼儿喉内型甲舌囊肿切除术时短,创伤小,并发症发生率低.

Application of low temperature radiofrequency volumetric tissue reduction in infant lingual thyroglossal duct cyst

Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of low temperature radiofrequency volumetic tissue reduction in the treatment of infant lingual thyroglossal duct cyst. Methods Clinical data of 9 infantswith respiratory distressdue tolingual thyroglossal duct cysttreated during 2012 to 2014 by low temperature radiofrequency volumetric tissue reductionwere retrospectively analyzed, and relevant literature was reviewed. Results All operations were successful.Nopostoperative haemorrhage, pharyngalgia,dysphea or other complicationswere observed.No respiratory distress recurred1 year after surgery. Conclusion Low temperature radiofrequency volumetric tissue reduction is a promising management for infant lingual thyroglossal duct cyst, whichhas advantages of shortoperation time, minimal trauma, and fewcomplications.
