Treatment of Recurrent Respiratory Papillomatosis in Children with the Microdebrider

Abstract: The mainstay of treatment of children with recurrent respiratory papillomatosis has been CO2 laser laryngoscopy. Powered microdebriders allow precise removal of laryngeal lesions without thermal damage. The microdebrider may reduce costs by reducing operative time and limiting the need for expensive laser-related equipment. To compare the use of the microdebrider with that of the CO2 laser in children undergoing surgery for recurrent respiratory papillomatosis, we retrospectively reviewed the charts of 18 pati… Show more

“…Quanto ao tratamento, vários métodos têm sido descritos incluindo utilização de antibióticos, hormônios, eletrocoagulação, crioterapia, radiação, ultra-som, exérese cirúrgica, vacina autógena 2 , aplicação intralesional de cidofovir 22,23 e utilização de microdebridador para remoção das lesões 24 . Entretanto, nenhuma medida foi suficientemente eficaz no controle de múltiplos papilomas e recorrências.…”

“…Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis [8], laryngomalacia [9], glottic [10] and subglottic and tracheal stenosis [11] have all been treated using the microdebrider. Lunn et al [11] highlight the advantages and disadvantages of use of the microdebrider within the airway well.…”

“…However long term results of these studies are still awaited. 3,4,5 Cold Steel Surgery microsurgical excision was the earliest transoral management option for RRP and is still a preferred treatment in Adult onset RRP with limited involvement. Standard microlaryngeal instruments and techniques may be utilized to completely excise laryngeal papillomata with good voice results, and in one recent series complete remission was observed in two year follow-up of six primary AORRP patients, although this treatment is not as effective in recurrent or extensive disease.…”
