The development of medical technology has opened the door for patients to treat otolaryngology special effects, and low temperature plasma treatment technology has appeared in the United States. Nasal endoscopic surgery combined with advanced low-temperature plasma technology is a brand-new surgical method that is most respected in the world in recent years. The Otolaryngology Clinic of Xuchang Zhongshan Hospital is the first patent technology of low-temperature plasma ablation imported from the United States in China. Under the observation of nasal endoscope, the plasma cryoablation system imported from the United States can instantly ablate the hyperplastic tissues that cause rhinitis, keep the local mucosal structure safe, and effectively reduce postoperative edema and pain.
(Reporter Zhang Xianhuai) Recently, 29-year-old Miss Ma received the most advanced technology in the world-plasma cryoablation for rhinitis in the Otolaryngology Department of the 304 Hospital of the People's Liberation Army. From the beginning of anesthesia to the end of treatment, less than 10 minutes, the stubborn disease that has plagued her for more than 20 years was immediately lifted. When Dr. Zhou, who treated her, told her that the treatment was over, she took a deep breath and said happily like a child, "Yes, yes ..."
According to Dr. Zhou, rhinitis is a common disease in otolaryngology, accounting for about 20% of outpatient patients in otolaryngology, especially teenagers. There are three traditional treatments. One is drug therapy, such as nasal drops, which mainly relieves the symptoms of nasal congestion in a short time. Long-term use will lead to drug-induced rhinitis, and young people will also cause high blood pressure. Second, laser and radio frequency therapy, burning the turbinate at high temperature, has great damage to the mucosa on the surface of the turbinate, serious postoperative reaction, and poor effect on hypertrophic rhinitis. The third is surgical treatment. It is effective to remove part of the hypertrophic turbinate, but it is traumatic, and there is a certain amount of bleeding during the operation, which has a certain impact on the normal function of nasal mucosa. Moreover, the nasal cavity is fortified after operation, which makes the patient more painful.
The basic principle of plasma cryoablation for rhinitis is to form a plasma thin layer at a low temperature by radio frequency electric field. Charged particles in the thin layer are accelerated by strong electric field, which breaks the molecular bonds of tissues, thus forming an efficient and accurate cutting effect at about 50℃, with little damage to surrounding tissues, and its thermal effect can shrink the surrounding tissues and play a hemostatic role. Patients can be treated in outpatient department without hospitalization, which is safe, simple to operate, quick to take effect and easy to be accepted by patients. It is especially suitable for chronic simple rhinitis, chronic hypertrophic rhinitis and allergic rhinitis with nasal congestion. It is not suitable for patients with rhinitis complicated with nasal septum deviation, nasal polyps and sinusitis. This technology is also very effective in treating snoring. They have treated more than 40 snoring patients with this technology and achieved satisfactory results.
The treatment of allergic rhinitis with low temperature plasma ablation combined with the most advanced nerve block has the advantages of short treatment time, quick recovery, little tissue damage, no complications, obvious effect, good long-term effect and no recurrence after operation. After treatment, the combination of traditional Chinese and western medicine can adjust the overall function of human body and quickly restore the normal function of nasal mucosa.
