Comparing KTP and CO₂ laser excision for recurrent respiratory papillomatosis: A systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The CO₂ laser and 532 nm potassium titanyl phosphate (KTP) laser have been applied to treat recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP). This systematic review sought to compare outcome differences between these two methods.

Data sources

Embase, Web of Science, PubMed, and the Cochrane Library.

Review methods

CO₂ laser and KTP laser studies were obtained by keyword searches of four authoritative medical databases. Articles were screened and retained when conforming to inclusion criteria. The primary outcome was cure rate; the secondary outcomes were recurrence, death, remission, clearance, and human papillomavirus (HPV)-detected rates, as well as laser effectiveness rates. Postoperative complications rate was the safety outcome measure.
