Morphological changes induced by extensive endobronchial electrocautery.
Due to recent improvements of safety conditions for therapeutic devices, electrocautery is being considered with renewed interest in the field of therapeutic bronchoscopy. The efficiency of this technique for destructing intraluminal tumours is well documented and makes it an attractive alternative to Yttrium aluminium garnet (YAG) laser photo-coagulation. Little is known, however, about the mo...
متن کاملEndobronchial Electrocautery Using Snare
Between May 1987 and March 1994, upper airway and tracheobronchial electrosurgery with snare was performed in 13 patients (10 men and 3 women), ranging in age from 18 to 87 years. Four patients had benign lesions, and nine had malignant tumors. Total eradication has been achieved in the two patients with benign lesions. Electroexcision of the endobronchial portion of the tumor helped to clear t...
متن کاملElectrocautery in Endobronchial Therapy
administration of levodopa significantly improved the swallowing reflex in patients with aspiration pneumonia,4 and that amantadine, a drug that acts by the releasing dopamine from dopaminergic nerve terminals, could lower the risk of pneumonia to about 20% in patients with stroke.5 Therefore, amantadine may also be beneficial in preventing pneumonia in patients with stroke. This drug should be...
متن کاملEndobronchial hamartoma removed by flexible fiberoptic bronchoscopy via electrocautery.
Hamartomas are the most common benign tumors of the lung. It is most common peripherally in the parenchyma as solitary nodule or endobronchial lesion. Endobronchial form may cause obstruction of airway, atelectasis and recurrent pneumonia. Endobronchial hamartomas may be treated by surgical intervention or bronchoscopic excision (with rigid or flexible procedures). We are presenting a case of e...
متن کاملBronchoscopic electrocautery therapy of a solitary endobronchial extramedullary plasmacytoma.
Extramedullary plasmacytomas are rare tumors. In majority of cases tumors arise in the head and neck region and endobronchial localization is extremely rare. The treatment is usually resection alone or combination of surgery with radiotherapy. Herein we present a case of solitary endobronchial plasmacytoma which was resected with bronchoscopic electrocautery, because of extremely rare occurrenc...
