Introduction. Congenital nasopharyngeal teratomas are rare tumours that pose difficulties in diagnosis and surgical management. We report the first use of radiofrequency coblation in the management of such tumours. Case Report. A premature baby with a perinatal diagnosis of a large, obstructing nasooropharyngeal mass was referred to the ENT service for further investigations and management. The...

Tonsils function as a defense system and aid in keeping your body free of infections. About 5% to 40% cases tonsillitis are caused by bacterial infection, which is the most frequent cause condition. There several different forms tonsillitis, including viral brought on bacteria like streptococcal pharyngitis. Tonsil redness swelling its symptoms. that covered white or yellow patches have sore th...

The aim of this paper is to present technic and technological aspects related to coblation surgery on the malignant tumors of the nasopharynx. The methodology of this paper is to investigate preand post-operative aspects of the neoplasms of the nasopharynx which underwent volumetric reduction using coblation surgery. The conclusions emphasize the utility of coblation technology associated with ...

Coblation devices are now widely used in arthroscopic surgery and they show a very low incidence of intraoperative complications. We experienced a case where the tip of the wand separated and migrated into the posterior knee compartment in an arthrofibrotic knee. The free wand tip was identified and then extricated from the popliteal hiatus of the knee with using C-arm fluoroscopic control. To ...

OBJECTIVE To investigate, in a porcine tongue model, the lesions created by coblation to define the optimal application of this method in treating the enlarged tongue base in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. STUDY DESIGN A prospective, experimental animal study. SETTING Military medical center. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Fifteen fresh porcine tongue specimens were injected with n...
