Management of laryngeal papillomatosis using coblation: another option of surgical intervention
2019
Purpose
Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis is a disease caused by the human papilloma virus (HPV). HPV is frequently localised in the larynx. The disease tends to recur and frequent intervention is usually required. Management modules include surgical intervention using microdebriders or laser ablation as well as adjuvant treatments which aim mainly at maintaining an adequate airway and secondly to manage dysphonia caused by the growth on the vocal folds. In this pilot study, another surgical modality is trialled using plasma-mediated radio-frequency ablation (coblation).
