Criptolise por coagulação com laser de CO2 em tonsilite crônica caseosa: método conservador e resultados

Abstract: Introdução:A criptolise convencional com laser CO 2 tem sido realizada com sucesso. Neste caso, um volume considerável de tecido é removido sem preocupação com possíveis reduções das funções das tonsilas. No presente trabalho propomos um método de criptolise com laser de CO 2 , alternativo, para tonsilites crônicas caseosas, com o qual o efeito desejado é obtido apenas através da coagulação pelo laser e não pela volatilização de tecidos. A preservação da tonsila é otimizada. Forma de Estudo: Clínico prospectiv… Show more

“…As we surveyed the literature looking for conservative treatment options for pharyngeal tonsil caseum, we noticed that there is no non-invasive and low cost treatment method available today 4,12 . Laser cryptolysis is the only conservative method so far that offers good results, however it is costly and, depending on the technique employed -by volatilization or coagulation, it is painful in the post-op and often times requires many procedures.…”

“…Such symptoms may still be followed of hyperemia and pharyngeal tonsil hypertrophy, without fever, and usually disappear after the caseum is shed. This disorder can happen at any age, especially in individuals who have never had tonsil symptoms 4 .…”

“…Chronic caseous tonsillitis is a pathology, which symptoms are described by patients as a foreign body in the throat, throat irritation, and halitosis complaint is very high 16,17 . Recently, the modified cryptolysis technique with CO 2 laser as a conservative method for the treatment of chronic caseous tonsillitis has been proved a very safe and effective method, preserving the tonsilar parenchyma and decreasing caseous retention 16 .…”

“…New approaches like computed tomography (CT) scans might be useful in detecting sinusitis not seen in a normal sinus X-ray. Chronic caseous tonsillitis (CCT) is very much related to halitosis 16,17 . Tonsillectomy, although being a very common procedure in ENT surgical routine, still offer risks such as bleedings and complications with anesthesia 29 .…”
