長期鼻塞打噴嚏治不好 醫師:後鼻神經燒灼術助改善過敏性鼻炎

一名25歲男子長期受過敏性鼻炎所苦,經郭綜合醫院耳鼻喉科醫師蔡建昇診斷後,接受鼻中膈成形、下鼻甲成形及自費後鼻神經雷射燒灼手術,術後恢復良好,過敏症狀獲得有效控制。

Why It Matters

台灣過敏性鼻炎盛行率約2至3成,傳統手術包含下鼻甲減積手術及翼管神經切除手術。

郭綜合醫院耳鼻喉科醫師蔡建昇表示,據美國醫學會與我國研究,後鼻神經燒灼術對過敏性與非過敏性鼻炎有短期顯著療效。

25歲王先生在兒童期就有過敏性鼻炎,長期鼻塞、打噴嚏、流鼻水等症狀,曾用過口服藥及噴劑治療未果。耳鼻喉科醫師檢查發現鼻中膈彎曲、下鼻甲肥厚、鼻涕蓄積,接受鼻中膈成形手術、射頻輔助下鼻甲成形手術合併需自費的後鼻神經雷射燒灼手術,術後恢復良好,鼻道暢通外,過敏症狀也得到良好控制。

郭綜合醫院耳鼻喉科醫師蔡建昇表示,台灣過敏性鼻炎盛行率約2至3成,空污嚴重的都會區比例更高,父母有此症狀,孩子也易有過敏體質,除了遺傳外,空污、天氣變化與二手煙都是過敏原風險因子,這類患者應常戴口罩、室內使用空氣清淨機、常清洗枕頭、棉被套、避免接觸絨毛玩具,防範過敏原是首要方法。

蔡建昇指出,過敏性鼻炎原理是鼻腔黏膜接觸外來物質後,引發免疫系統過度反應,導致產生一連串包括打噴嚏、流鼻水等症狀。在治療上,會先以避免過敏原及藥物治療為主,包含抗組織胺及類固醇鼻噴劑減少鼻黏膜發炎腫脹,如症狀仍未緩解,是手術介入的時機點。

傳統鼻過敏手術可分成健保給付的下鼻甲減積手術及翼管神經切除手術。前者縮小下鼻甲體積、增加鼻道空間減少鼻塞,控制鼻塞效果好,但對過敏症狀控制較有限;後者是切斷翼管神經,減少副交感神經對鼻水分泌的影響,但有破壞性較強與併發乾眼症風險。

蔡建昇說,需自費的後鼻神經燒灼術是近年發展的新手術,燒灼翼管神經的後鼻神經,藉此減少傳統手術破壞性強與併發乾眼症的風險,有效控制過敏症狀。

2022年美國鼻科醫學會聲明指此手術對過敏性與非過敏性鼻炎的治療效果顯著,但仍需注意該手術屬於「燒灼阻斷」而非完全「切除」神經,有中長期復發的機會,術後必要時需回診追蹤。

Inpatient integrated care plan provokes controversy, medical groups demand direct recruitment and specify a nurse-patient ratio of 1:4

Taiwan's medical groups and legislators held a public hearing in the Legislative Yuan, accusing the Ministry of Health and Welfare's "Inpatient Integrated Care Plan" of lacking clear nurse-to-patient ratios and hiring standards, which has increased the burden on the front line. The group demands that hospitals should directly hire caregivers and set a nurse-to-patient ratio of 1:4 and not cross wards.

Eat less sugar before the age of 2, reduce the risk of liver cancer by 69% and slow down aging by 2 years

Nephrologist Jiang Shoushan shared a British study that showed that people who experience sugar restriction in the first 1,000 days of life before the age of 2 have a lower risk of developing five types of cancers including breast cancer, prostate cancer, and liver cancer as adults. The incidence of liver cancer dropped by 69%, and the rate of biological aging was also slowed down by about 2.2 years.
