Laser Treatment for Respiratory Papillomatosis
Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP) is a rare disorder characterized by the development of small, wart-like growths (papillomas) in the respiratory tract which includes: ( the nose, mouth, throat (pharynx), voice box (larynx), windpipe (trachea), various airway passages (bronchi), and lungs)
Papillomas can develop anywhere along the respiratory tract, but most often affect the larynx and the vocal cords (laryngeal papillomatosis).
Respiratory papillomas are caused by the human papilloma virus (HPV). They’re usually benign (non-cancerous).
Although some individuals can acquire the virus through intimate contact, the virus can be transmitted from mother to fetus.
Also, Because the virus is in the tissue, respiratory papillomas tend to recur even after they are removed. This, in fact, makes Papillomatosis patients in constant need for regular check-ups and effective treatments although currently, there is no cure.
Nevertheless, this disease’s treatments seek to prevent airway obstruction, keep underlying tissues healthy, and maintain voice quality. Laser therapy has been continuously updating to fulfill these specific functionalities.
Indeed, the Portable Surgery Laser System FDA SIFLASER-1.2A proved being efficient enough when it comes to perfectly fulfilling the above mentioned tasks.
The device has been specifically designed to perform better and gentler papillomas removals, even at lower power.
As such, the improved cutting performance makes it ideally suited to all surgical applications namely small, wart-like growths like papillomas .
What also makes the SIFLASER-1.2A highly recommended by surgeons is that it displays an accurate alignment and exact sighting during the treatment. All thanks to its green aiming beam.
For more perfect results, the device is supported with a fiber guide laser. First, it is compatible with various endoscopic uses. Second, these special fibers are sterilisable which, in turn, prevents any possible cross-infections while guaranteeing a clean and bloodless operative area.
The above feature is expected to reduce the thermal damage and to its peculiar interaction with hemoglobin.
Additionally, the complete absence of water absorption helps drastically reduce the overheating of the surrounding tissues. This should further reinforce the laser treatment’s efficacy.
Due to all these advanced options, the SIFLASER-1.2 A guarantees increased cutting effectiveness, much higher than the one obtained with infrared lasers.
Lasers are a relatively recent addition to growths’ surgery. However, following their efficacy, laser use and applications have expanded rapidly.
In this article, we discuss the benefits of laser therapy and precisely the efficacy of SIFLASER-1.2 A as a surgical laser device used for Respiratory Papillomatosis removals.
