Effectiveness of combined approach to recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP).

Purpose: Recent approaches for recurrent respiratory papillomatosis including local injection of bevacizumab and HPV vaccination show promise in reducing the need for frequent surgeries. In this study we propose a new combined approach of surgery, intralesional injection of 25 mg bevacizumab and HPV vaccine that can lead to resolution of RRP.

Material And Methods: Our study involved 5 patients treated with a combination of transoral microsurgery, intralesional injection of 25 mg bevacizumab, and HPV vaccination with Gardasil 9 between April 2020 and May 2023.
