METHOD OF LASER TREATMENT OF CHRONIC TONSILLITIS WITH USING PHOTOSENSITISER Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC A61N5/67 A61K31/409 A61P11/04 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention concerns medicine, otorhinolaryngology, and can be used for laser treatment of chronic tonsillitis with using a photosensitiser. That is ensured by irrigation of tonsil lacunas with isotonic solution of sodium chloride with using a Hartmann cannula. A mixed photosensitiser solution and a pharmaceutically acceptable gel are prepared ex tempore. Herewith as a photosensitiser, water-soluble porphyrin of chlorine series is used. The prepared gel is introduced into tonsil lacunas. And amount thereof is 0.7 to 2 g for both tonsils and depends on size thereof, number and depths of lacunas. The gel is left in tonsils for 5-40 minutes. Tonsils are irrigated by lavage or above-stated technique with isotonic solution of sodium chloride to complete removal of residual photosensitiser. Then the tonsil surface is irradiated distantly at the end face of a light guide spaced 0.1-1.5 cm from tonsil surface. The irradiation is characterised with power density 80-400 J/cm², radiation power 0.35-1.5 Wt and exposure 4-20 min for each tonsil.

EFFECT: method allows improving clinical effectiveness, reducing its cost and number and frequency of procedures, lowering collateral actions and treatment complications.
