title: [The effect of low-temperature coblation under endoscopy on infantile subglottic hemangioma].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To evaluate the effect of low-temperature coblation on subglottic hemangioma under endoscopy.
  
  
  METHODS
  Clinical data of 5 patients whom were diagnosed as subglottic hemangioma treated with low-temperature coblation under endoscopy were retrospectively studied. Two cases of the patients were treated after tracheotomy.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Hemangioma vanished completely in the 5 patients. All patients were followed-up from 3-6 months,no recurrence was found, and the 2 cases were extubated successfully.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Endoscopic surgery u sing low-temperature coblation for subglottic hemangioma after tracheotomy can relief the airway obstruction quickly, shorten the nature course of hemangioma and the period of wearing trachea,also no complication such as subglottic stenosis which is thought to be a safe and effective therapy for large size hemangioma. While for small size hemangioma, endoscopic surgery using low-temperature coblation under good total anesthesia without tracheotomy combined is effective, less injure, and suitable. Endoscopic surgery using low-temperature coblation for subglottic hemangioma has following advantages such as simplicity, minimal invasion and so on. It is a viable surgical method for the treatment of subglottic hemangioma.
