We report the results of a prospective pilot study of 54 adult patients undergoing tonsillectomy using the KTP-532 laser, designed to assess whether the technique would facilitate day-case adult tonsillectomy. Subjective and objective assessment at six hours post-operatively showed that only 43 per cent could, in our judgement, have been discharged at this interval. Furthermore, the overall complication rate was 31 per cent with a secondary haemorrhage rate of 19 per cent. We conclude that KTP-532 laser tonsillectomy as performed in this pilot study compares unfavourably with dissection tonsillectomy and we discuss possible reasons for this.
我们报告了一项对54例接受KTP - 532激光扁桃体切除术的成年患者进行的前瞻性试点研究结果，该研究旨在评估该技术是否有助于成人日间扁桃体切除手术。术后六小时的主观和客观评估显示，据我们判断，此时只有43%的患者可以出院。此外，总体并发症发生率为31%，继发性出血率为19%。我们得出结论，在这项试点研究中进行的KTP - 532激光扁桃体切除术与剥离扁桃体切除术相比效果不佳，我们对此讨论了可能的原因。
