RESUMO
PURPOSE: Recent approaches for recurrent respiratory papillomatosis including local injection of bevacizumab and HPV vaccination show promise in reducing the need for frequent surgeries. In this study we propose a new combined approach of surgery, intralesional injection of 25 mg bevacizumab and HPV vaccine that can lead to resolution of RRP. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Our study involved 5 patients treated with a combination of transoral microsurgery, intralesional injection of 25 mg bevacizumab, and HPV vaccination with Gardasil 9 between April 2020 and May 2023. Standard video laryngoscopy was performed to assess the presence of papilloma and Derkay score was used to assess the severity of disease. RESULTS: All 5 patients completed the study successfully and a complete response was achieved by all. The follow-up ranged from 8 to 45 months. The mean total Derkay score before treatment was 41 (range 25 to 52) and after the combined approach was 0 both anatomically and clinically in all patients. CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrates the effectiveness of a combined treatment approach for RRP involving surgical intervention, intralesional injection of bevacizumab, and HPV vaccination.
