Experience of nursing cooperation in endoscopic radiofrequency ablation of skull base tumor resection via nasal low temperature plasma radiofrequency

Abstract

Objective To summarize the experience of nursing cooperation in endoscopic sinus surgery for low temperature plasma radiofrequency ablation of skull base tumor, and to explore the safety and feasibility of this technique. Methods A total of 69 patients with skull base tumor were treated with low temperature plasma radio frequency technology to remove skull base tumor. Results Totally 62 cases of skull base tumors completed total resection in low temperature plasma radiofrequency ablation, 7 cases gained subtotal resection. The operation demonstrated superior advantage of less bleeding, short operation time, less postoperative pain and no adverse events. Conclusions The skull base tumor resection for patients with skull base tumors with low-temperature plasma radiofrequency possesses the advantages of short operation time, less bleeding and thermal damage to the surrounding tissues, besides it can reduce the postoperative discomfort, shorten hospitalization time and reduce the occurrence of nursing adverse events.
