“…The use of microdebriders has increased in the past decade in adults and children, in a wide spectrum of diseases, from the nasal cavity to the bronchi, but especially recurrent respiratory papillomatosis [140]. There are many microdebriders available with varying diameters, lengths, angles, rotational properties and tip configurations (aggressive cutting or delicate tips).…”

A squamous papilloma in the nasopharyngeal surface of the soft palate is difficult to access, which makes complete surgical excision challenging.…”
