Abstract:Objective: The purpose of our case series is to highlight the role of coblation in endoscopic JNA excision in terms of blood loss, duration of surgery and hospital stay.
“…Along with the endoscope Coblation technology has also been used successfully in treatment of angiofibromas 8 . This technology relies on a molecular level of disintegration of tissue planes with minimal collateral damage.…”

“…Along with endoscopic resection, there has been an increase in usage of Coblation technology to resect these lesions. Coblation gives the advantage of better visualization of the lesion during endoscopic resection and debulking 8 .This has a knock on effect of reducing surgical time which itself is an added advantage since endoscopic resection shortens surgical time compared to an open approach in experienced hands.…”
Juvenile Nasal Angiofibroma is a condition which almost exclusively occurs in young males who present with features of nasal obstruction and epistaxis. Over the past few decades there has been a paradigm shift in how we manage this condition with changes in diagnostic criteria, imaging modalities, staging as well as surgical approaches. Endoscopic and Endoscopic Assisted resection techniques have been increasingly popular over the past two decades and have shown to decrease surgical time, post-operative stay as well as intraoperative blood loss. It is our recommendation that future surgeons be adequately exposed and trained in endoscopic resection techniques of angiofibroma, as the authors believe, given the data at hand that this is the way forward.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
