温控射频技术结合舌中部菱形切除术治疗巨舌症

目的 探讨应用温控射频技术结合舌中部菱形切除术治疗巨舌症.方法 以温控射频刀于舌体正中做菱形切口切除部分舌组织,轻度肥大者行单纯温控射频消融术舌体减容.结果 4例先天性舌肌肥大患者术后舌体均无继发出血及明显肿胀,无感觉障碍,活动良好;3例能正常闭口,1例术后仍偶有舌伸于口外,行二次舌部分切除术和第3次单纯温控射频消融舌体减容术后治愈.结论 应用上述方法治疗巨舌症安全可靠,并可减少并发症的发生.

Partial glossectomy assisted with temperature-controlled radiofrequency for treating macroglossia

OBJECTIVE: To study the clinical efficacy of partial glossectomy assisted with temperature-controlled radiofrequency for treating macroglossia. METHODS: There were 4 patients performed this procedure. We took a rhombus shape incision in the middle of the tongue and performed a wedge excision. RESULTS: The mouth can close entirely in all of patients and there weren' t hemorrhage and obviously swollen; Tongue's sensory function hadn't disturbance. Masticate function were normal. One patient still had the symptom that tongue lied outside the oral cavity occasionally after operation. The symptom was disappeared after Temperature-controlled radiofrequency (TCRF) ablation. All of patients' parent were satisfied with the results. CONCLUSIONS: Partial glossectomy assisted with temperature-controlled radiofrequency for treating macroglossia is an effective, much safer and less invasive procedure without obvious adverse reactions. There are better prospects for applying.
