[Coblation-assisted endoscopic excision of juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma and outcomes].

ABSTRACT

Objective:To summarize the procedures and efficacy of surgical treatment for Andrew stage Ⅰ-Ⅲ juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma（JNA）. Methods:A total of 12 patients with JNA who underwent surgery from 2016 to 2021 were enrolled, including 1 case in stage Ⅰ, 3 cases in stage Ⅱ, and 8 cases in stage Ⅲ. JNA was resected by transnasal endoscopic approach alone, or combined with transoral approach or Caldwell-Luc approach was performed. Results:Eleven cases underwent complete resection without recurrence and 1 case had residual tumor. There were no serious complications. The median intraoperative blood loss was 200 mL, and 1 patient received blood transfusion. The median operative time was 110 minutes. Conclusion:JNA in Andrew stage Ⅰ-Ⅲ can be quickly and completely resected by standardized surgical procedures using endoscopy and coblation technology.
