Objective  To investigate the feasibility and methods of surgical treatment for HIV/AIDS patients with otolaryngology diseases. Methods  From January 2016 to February 2017, nineteen patients with HIV/AIDS who underwent otolaryngology surgery were included in this study. The demographic data of patients, including age, gender, course of disease, CD4+ T lymphocyte count before operation and disease type were collected and the clinical treatment methods were summarized. The curative effect was analyzed retrospectively. Results  The operations of all the 19 patients were successful without occupational exposure among medical staff. One patient with papillary squamous cell carcinoma did not received further treatment. The other 18 patients recovered well and their life quality was significantly improved. Conclusions  If HIV/AIDS patients with otolaryngological diseases are examined preoperatively and have no surgical contraindications, the operation shloud be performed by controlling the surgical indications strictly. The life quality of the patients may be improved and the patients’ life may be prolonged after the surgery.
