[Surgical treatment for laryngeal condyloma acuminata in children].
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the therapeutic methods of laryngeal condyloma acuminata in children.


METHODS
Operative treatment was performed in 43 cases of laryngeal condyloma acuminata in children. Direct laryngoscopy with removal of laryngeal tumor under surface anesthesia was performed in 26 cases, and trachea cannula, retaining laryngoscopy with removal of laryngeal tumor under general anesthesia were performed in 17 cases, hypodermic implantation of the removal condyloma acuminata at medial upper arm and submucous injection of interferon at vocal fold were performed in 13 cases at the same time.


RESULTS
Cases were followed-up, 26 cases were cured, 7 cases were improved, 2 cases were dead, 7 cases needed tracheotomy, 3 cases had difficulty of decannulation.


CONCLUSIONS
Wide affected part and high recurrence rate are characters of this disease, the tumor can be removed more accurately and the recurrence rate can be decreased when performing self-retaining laryngoscopy with removal of laryngeal tumor combined with hypodermic implantation of the removal condyloma acuminata at medial upper arm and submucous injection of interferon at vocal fold. Difficulty of decannulation can also be avoided after tracheotomy.
