¸ñÀû: Endoscope is good at finding the lesion in narrow field by the
wider view angle. But endoscope should be grasped by left hand
and the other hand is only available to manipulate instruments,
So the endoscopic assisted surgery is usually the one handed
surgery. Moreover, endoscope-assisted surgery is not easy method
in the bleeding situation, because the bleeding could screen the
surgical field. ¹æ¹ý:We designed the study for availability of endoscope-assisted
surgery in the relatively less bleeding surgery as operation of
congenital cholesteatoma in the children. The paitents were
enrolled from Jan, 2013 to Dec, 2014 °á°ú:The enrolled patients were 9 patients (five male, one female). And the average age of patients were 3.5 years. Cholesteatoma was located at ant portion of tympanic membrane in 4 patients, and post portion in 1 patients. Cholesteatoma of all cases were fully removed by endoscope-assisted surgery and the we confirmed no remnant was remained by the endoscopic view. Surgical complication as vertigo, worsening of hearing, infection, bleeding were not seen in the patients postoperatively. All patients were discharged from hospital at 1 day after surgery. After follow up, 4 patients have the normal hearing except one with posterior cholesteatoma. °á·Ð:In summary, the the results were favorable, so we recommend the
endoscopic approach as one of options of surgical route. |
