Assessment of Functional Outcomes of an Autospreader Flap and Spreader Graft in Rhinoplasty.

Objective: Nasal obstruction after rhinoplasty occurs due to narrowing of the internal nasal valve. Narrowing is due to osteotomy performed to close the open roof of nose after dorsum hump resection. Spreader grafts and autospreader flaps are used to prevent such narrowing.

Comparison of Isotonic Seawater Nasal Spray Containing Chamomile Liquid Extract and Other Isotonic Seawater Nasal Washing Solutions for Allergic Rhinitis.

Objective: We aim to demonstrate the effect of an isotonic seawater spray containing chamomile liquid extract on symptoms and nasal mucociliary clearance in patients with allergic rhinitis by comparing it with other isotonic seawater nasal washing solutions.

Methods: The study included 123 patients. Based on Allergic Rhinitis and its Impact on Asthma guidelines, mometasone furoate intranasal spray treatment was started for all patients in the group diagnosed with allergic rhinitis.

Comparison of Early and Long-Term Effects of Piezosurgery With Conventional Techniques for Osteotomies in Rhinoplasty.

Objective: Osteotomy is a critical step of rhinoplasty. Various osteotomy techniques have been developed to reduce postoperative edema and ecchymosis and achieve optimal aesthetic results. In this study, we aimed to compare the early and long-term effects of piezoelectric surgery with conventional osteotomy.

[Short term olfactory memory and olfactory function after inhalation anesthetic agents: a randomized clinical trial].

Background And Objectives: This clinical trial aimed to evaluate the effects of two different inhalation anesthetic agents on postoperative olfactory memory and olfactory function in patients who underwent micro laryngeal surgery.

Methods: This randomized prospective controlled study consisted of 102 consecutive patients with a voice disorder. The patients underwent micro laryngeal surgery for voice disorders under general anesthesia.

Comparison of Olfactory Function and Quality of Life With Different Surgical Techniques for Nasal Septum Deviation.

Objective: To assess the nasal functions, nasal resistance, olfactory function, and quality of life in different surgical techniques for nasal septum deviation STUDY DESIGN:: Randomized controlled trial.

Methods: This prospective controlled study was carried out on patients who underwent septoplasty. Patients participating in the study were divided into 2 groups; group 1: classic septoplasty (n: 25) and group 2: extracorporeal septoplasty (n: 14).

Role of Laryngopharyngeal Reflux in Complications of Tonsillectomy in Pediatric Patients.

Tonsillectomy and tonsillectomy with adenoidectomy are among the most common surgical procedures in otolaryngology practice. Gastroesophageal reflux was identified as a risk factor for complications in tonsillectomy. This prospective study was designed to assess the role of reflux in the development of complications following tonsillectomy in pediatric patients.

Effects of Radioactive Iodine Ablation Therapy on Voice Quality.

Objective: The goal of this study was to evaluate the effects of radioactive iodine ablation therapy on voice quality of patients diagnosed with well-differentiated thyroid carcinoma.

Methods: We enrolled 36 patients who underwent total or subtotal thyroidectomy due to well-differentiated thyroid carcinoma. Voice recordings from patients were analyzed for acoustic and aerodynamic voice.

Effect of Deviated Nasal Septum Type on Nasal Mucociliary Clearance, Olfactory Function, Quality of Life, and Efficiency of Nasal Surgery.

Objective: The aim of this study was to analyze the influence of deviated nasal septum (DNS) type on nasal mucociliary clearance, quality of life (QoL), olfactory function, and efficiency of nasal surgery (septoplasty with or without inferior turbinate reduction and partial middle turbinectomy).

Methods: Fifty patients (20 females and 30 males) with septal deviation were included in the study and were divided into 6 groups according to deviation type after examination by nasal endoscopy and paranasal computed tomography. The saccharin clearance test to evaluate the nasal mucociliary clearance time, Connecticut Chemosensory Clinical Research Center smell test for olfactory function, and sinonasal outcome test-22 (SNOT-22) for patient satisfaction were applied preoperatively and postoperatively at the sixth week after surgery.

Comparison of Voice Quality Between Patients Who Underwent Inferior Turbinoplasty or Radiofrequency Cauterization.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to analyze and compare the vocal quality in patients who underwent either submucosal turbinectomy or radiofrequency cauterization.

Methods: In this study, we enrolled 60 patients diagnosed with inferior concha hypertrophy. These patients were divided into two groups by using computer program "Research Randomizer.

Pediatric Ramsay Hunt Syndrome: Analysis of Three Cases.

Ramsay Hunt syndrome (RHS) is a disorder characterized by herpetic eruptions on the auricle, facial paralysis, and vestibulocochlear dysfunction and is attributed to varicella zoster virus (VZV) infection in the geniculate ganglion. Although it is a common cause of acute peripheral facial paralysis, children are not usually affected. The diagnosis is based on history and physical findings.

Objective and Subjective Aspects of Voice in Pregnancy.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate vocal changes in pregnancy according to trimesters both objectively and subjectively.

Methods: Fifty pregnant women and 15 nonpregnant women were included in the study. Eighteen of the 50 pregnant women were in the first trimester, 17 in the second trimester, and 15 in the third trimester of their pregnancies.

Psychological effects of dysphonia in voice professionals.

Study Design: Cross-sectional analysis.

Methods: Forty-eight 48 voice professionals and 52 non-voice professionals with dysphonia were included in this study.

Subjective and Objective Effects of Androgen Ablation Therapy on Voice.

Study Design: Cross-sectional.

Methods: Thirty-five male patients who had been diagnosed with prostate cancer and who had been using bicalutamide and goserelin acetate combination for at least 12 months were included in the study.
