title: [Endoscopic surgery using the low-temperature plasma radiofrequency for nasal hemangioma].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To evaluate the effect of endoscopic surgery using the low-temperature plasma radiofrequency for nasal hemangioma.
  
  
  METHODS
  Clinical data of 15 patients treated between October 2007 and October 2009 under endoscopic surgery using the low-temperature plasma radiofrequency were retrospectively studied.
  
  
  RESULTS
  All tumors in 15 patients were completely removed. The blood loss was 1 - 150 ml and the average blood loss was about 15 ml, only gelatin sponge was used to protect the wound after operation. There was no additional packing to stop bleeding. No complications were seen. The patients had mild postoperative pain. All patients were followed-up from 2 months to 2 years, no recurrence was found.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Endoscopic surgery using low-temperature plasma radiofrequency for nasal hemangioma has following advantages such as simplicity, minimal invasion and so on. It is a viable surgical method for the treatment of nasal hemangioma.
