Abstract
Review literature data on the coblation method in otorhinolaryngology. All materials from our study are published in peer-reviewed journals. The review is PubMed generated. In our clinic, 20 patients with bilateral paralytic laryngeal stenosis underwent cold-plasma posterior arytenoidcordotomy with Coblator II. The analysis of the high-energy techniques currently applied in otorhinolaryngology shows the benefits of coblation due to the effect of lower temperatures on tissues. Patients subjectively reported improved breathing on day 10 with a closed coblation tracheostoma; after 3-6months everyone underwent successful decannulation with plastic surgery of the cutaneous-tracheal fistula. Lately, the operated vocal fold was in the abduction position and the lumen of the glottis in the posterior third was 7-8mm. Compensation of vocal function in the long-term postoperative period was achieved by patients due to long-term orthophonic training and the development of a vestibuloscapular phonation mechanism. The advantages of coblation are mainly minimal trauma to the surrounding tissues, convenient resection, the ability to perform complete hemostasis at one time, and easier postoperative period for the patient.
