Blue laser for the exclusive endoscopic transcanal approach to middle ear paraganglioma
Mireia Quer-Castells, Marta Sandoval, Francisco Larrosa
TL;DR
This paper presents a case where blue laser surgery was used to safely and effectively remove a middle ear tumor through a minimally invasive approach.
Contribution
The novel use of blue laser coagulation in endoscopic transcanal excision of glomus tympanicum tumors is demonstrated.
Findings
Blue laser surgery was safely used for endoscopic removal of a class A2 glomus tympanicum tumor.
The procedure was minimally invasive and effective for early-stage tumors.
The approach was performed in a tertiary referral center with positive outcomes.
Abstract
The management of glomus tympanicum tumours can be challenging. Blue laser coagulation may improve bleeding control thus facilitating an endoscopic transcanal excision. The objective of this presentation is to illustrate the authors’ experience using this novel tool. Case report of a patient that underwent exclusive endoscopic transcanal blue laser surgery of a class A2 glomus tympanicum tumour in a tertiary referral center. The present study provides evidence of the safety and efficacy of endoscopic blue laser surgery, for the minimally invasive treatment of early-stage glomus tympanicum tumours.
