Objective
To study the efficacy of coblation in the endoscopic surgery of sinonasal and skull base masses.
Study Design
Prospective Interventional Study.
Method
100 patients with signs and symptoms of nasal obstruction were enrolled for 14 months. On the basis of diagnosis they underwent endoscopic sinus surgery using coblator and their intra-operative blood loss, operation time, post-operative pain threshold using VAS(Visual analogue scale) were enlisted.
Result
80% had Sinonasal polyp followed by Inverted papilloma in 8%, Angiofibroma in 5%, Hemangioma in 3%, Esthesioneuroblastoma in 2% and Rhinosporidiosis in 2%. The Minimum blood loss was 50 ml and Maximum was 600 ml. 30% patients had no pain, 60% had Mild pain and 10% had Moderate pain post procedure. Mean Operation time was 112.86 min.
Conclusion
Coblation has proven to have reduced operation time, blood loss and faster wound healing. It has now established itself as an essential tool for advance tumours in nasal surgeries.
