Experience of low-temperature plasma radiofrequency treatment of 53 patients with tongue hemangioma.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: The main treatments of hemangioma of the tongueare are injection of sclerotherapy, freezing, surgical resection or combined application of the above methods. It is extremely difficult to remove it completely. Even if combined with multiple methods, it is often unable to control its continued growth, and many important physiological functions of the tongue will be affected, resulting in poor quality of life for patients. OBJECTIVE: To probe into the therapeutic effect of low-temperature plasma on hemangioma of the tongue. METHODS: The clinical data of 53 patients with hemangioma of the tongue admitted to our department from July 2013 to July 2019 were retrospectively analyzed and studied. RESULTS: Low-temperature plasma radiofrequency to treat hemangioma of the tongue might have advantages of simple operation, wide vision, fewer postoperative complications and quick recovery. SIGNIFICANCE: The low-temperature plasma system possesses advantages of precise location, light collateral damage, non­carbonization of the wound surface, light postoperative response, fewer complications and faster recovery. Combined with the endoscopic system with different angles, it can fully expose the surgical field and is especially suitable for the surgical treatment of patients with tumor of the tongue, which is worth popularizing application in clinic.
