Treatment of hypertrophic palatine tonsils using bipolar radiofrequency-induced thermotherapy (RFITT.)

CONCLUSION: Radiofrequency volume reduction of palatine tonsils is a gentle and safe treatment method in selected patients, which should carefully be considered as an alternative to tonsillectomy or tonsillotomy. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was the evaluation of bipolar radiofrequency-induced thermotherapy (RFITT) compared to standard blunt dissection tonsillectomy (TE) for the volume reduction of palatine tonsils in chronic tonsillar hypertrophy. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A total of 137 patients (98 children) were treated in two groups in a prospective controlled, randomized clinical trial. The TE group underwent standard tonsillectomy using blunt dissection. The RFITT group underwent interstitial RF ablation. Perioperative blood loss and duration of surgery were monitored. Tonsil volume reduction in the RFITT group was measured by sonography. Postoperative pain, as well as difficulty in swallowing and speaking, were evaluated using visual analog scales. RESULTS: In the RFITT group, we found an average tonsil volume reduction of 40%, at about 3 weeks after treatment. Postoperative pain, swallowing and speaking difficulties, and perioperative blood loss were significantly lower, and the duration of surgery was significantly shorter (all p<0.05) in the RFITT group. Preservation of the treatment results was monitored until 6 months after treatment, with no after effects during this time period.

Tonsillectomy by means of plasma-mediated ablation: prospective,randomized, blinded comparison with monopolar electrosurgery

OBJECTIVE: To compare plasma-mediated ablation (PMA) with monopolar electrosurgery (MES) for pediatric tonsillectomy. DESIGN: Prospective, randomized, blinded study. SETTING: Academic children's hospital. PARTICIPANTS: Thirty-four children, aged 4 to 7 years. INTERVENTIONS: Tonsillectomy by means of PMA (n = 17) or MES (n = 17). OUTCOME MEASURES: We measured surgical efficacy, estimated blood loss, and surgical time during tonsillectomy and morphine use, immediate postoperative pain, and recovery scores after tonsillectomy. Parents recorded recovery of normal diet and activity and their own return to work for 10 days after surgery. Histopathologic evaluation of excised tonsils was performed. We reviewed medical records and attempted follow-up telephone contact. RESULTS: With no significant difference in blood loss compared with MES, PMA was effective for tonsillectomy. Performance of PMA took longer (24 vs 16 minutes; P =.002). Results of histopathologic evaluation showed less thermal injury with PMA than with MES (P =.03). Morphine consumption, pain, and recovery scores were equivalent between groups. We found no significant difference in recovery of normal diet and activity or parental return to work. Patients undergoing PMA had a greater number of perioperative complications than those undergoing MES, including 2 patients in the PMA group (compared with none in the MES group) who required unplanned admission for postoperative airway obstruction. CONCLUSIONS: Plasma-mediated ablation for pediatric tonsillectomy resulted in less histopathologic thermal injury than MES, but did not show a statistically faster recovery to normal activity and diet or parental return to work. In addition, PMA took longer to perform, and had more complications. Therefore, PMA should not replace MES for pediatric tonsillectomy. The reduced thermal injury with PMA supports investigation into other means of using plasma ablation to treat tonsillar hypertrophy.     

Tonsillectomy versus tonsillotomy performed with scissors in children with tonsillar hypertrophy

OBJECTIVE: We sought to determine the morbidity and the short and long-term effectiveness of tonsillotomy (partial tonsillectomy) performed with scissors compared with conventional cold knife (total) tonsillectomy. METHODS: We conducted a 2-year prospective non-randomized study at a tertiary children's hospital. One thousand and twenty-three children were recruited (243 in the tonsillotomy and 780 in the tonsillectomy group). Age, sex, weight, and time of operation, immediately post-operative complications and pain were recorded. Eighteen months after the operation data on weight, parents' satisfaction and recurrence of obstructed symptoms was obtained in 60 randomly selected children of each group. RESULTS: Post-operative complications rates were very low in both groups and their differences did not reach statistical significance. However, tonsillotomies were significantly better than tonsillectomies in relation to post-operative pain the 1st (P<0.001) and the 7th (P<0.001) post-operative day, and lasted an average of 2.5 min less. Concerning long-term effects, both methods resulted in an increase of patients' weight without the difference in weight increase be statistically significant. In addition, parents' satisfaction as well as oral malodour do not seem to differ significantly. Finally, although twice as many children in the tonsillotomy group had a recurrence of snoring compared to tonsillectomy group, only in about half of them was the problem regarded significant enough by their parents to require medical consultation or reoperation. At the end, an estimated 3.5% of the tonsillotomy group was offered a tonsillectomy in the long term. CONCLUSION: This trial shows that scissors tonsillotomy in combination with an adenoidectomy is a viable therapeutic option with less immediate post-operative morbidity than tonsillectomy in young children whose sleep disorder breathing is due to a combination of tonsilar and adenoid hypertrophy. However, parents should be informed of the possibility of regrowth and reoperation.

Traditional tonsillectomy compared with bipolar radiofrequency thermal ablation tonsillectomy in adults: a pilot study

OBJECTIVES: To assess the morbidity and efficacy of bipolar radiofrequency thermal ablation tonsillectomy and compare it with traditional cold dissection tonsillectomy with diathermy hemostasis. DESIGN: Prospective, randomized, single-blinded, controlled clinical study. SETTING: Helsinki University Central Hospital, Department of Otorhinolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery, Helsinki, Finland. PATIENTS: Forty healthy volunteer patients aged 18 to 65 years admitted for elective tonsillectomy with recurrent or chronic tonsillitis, obstructive tonsillar hypertrophy, or history of quinsy. Two patients were excluded from the study and 1 patient cancelled the operation. INTERVENTIONS: Nineteen patients underwent a traditional cold dissection tonsillectomy with diathermy hemostasis, and 18 patients underwent a bipolar radiofrequency thermal ablation tonsillectomy. There was no intergroup difference in age, sex, weight, and indications for tonsillectomy. The subjects were not informed of the type of procedure until the telephone interview 3 weeks after the operation. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Operating time and intraoperative blood loss; need for anesthetics during the operation; different recovery indicators in the recovery room (ie, duration and medications administered), surgical ward (ie, medications administered, use of corticosteroids, general condition, and status of the uvula on the first postoperative day), and in the 2 weeks following surgery (ie, visual analog scale scores on 6 symptoms, medications needed, the day patients returned to work, use of antibiotics, and retreatment acceptance); and complications and certain laboratory parameters. RESULTS: There was a statistically significant but clinically insignificant difference in operating time and intraoperative blood loss in favor of the traditional tonsillectomy group. The other outcome measures showed no statistically significant differences. CONCLUSION: Bipolar radiofrequency thermal ablation and traditional tonsillectomy were associated with similar postoperative morbidity.
