Abstract EN
The objective of the case series is to understand the clinical and surgical aspects of new minimally invasive technique of coblation in cases of vallecular cysts in neonates.
Method of Study.
Four neonates underwent surgery for vallecular cyst by using Arthrocare ENT coblator system.
Results Obtained.
All the four cases presented in stridor and difficult intubation was also a concern which necessitated a swift, high precision instrument with almost immediate results.
Coblation excision includes direct contact with vallecular cyst, improved targeting of the cyst, and preservation of normal tissue.
All the four cases had an uneventful postoperative period and smooth recovery and had an early discharge from the hospital.
Conclusions.
Early diagnosis and intervention hold the key for an early recovery and for minimizing nutritional disturbances secondary to poor feeding in cases of neonatal vallecular cysts.
