Objective: To describe the types of aural foreign bodies (FBs) among patients in Ibn Sina Teaching Hospital (ISTH) and to study the patient's symptoms, duration, complications and procedures used to extract them.
Methods: A record based descriptive study was looked at patients with aural FBs at ISTH for 5 years between 2009 and 2015. The diagnosis of aural FBs was based on personal history, and otoscopic findings.
Background: The purpose of this study was to show our comparison of the quality of voice obtained after superficial transoral endoscopic cordectomies (types I, II, and III) according to the European Laryngological Society classification versus the more extended cordectomy (types IV and V) among patients with glottic precancerous lesions or early glottic cancer.
Methods: Sixty-two patients underwent vocal assessment after cordectomy (types I-V) for dysplasia, Tis, T1a, T1b, and T2 lesions.
Results: Cordectomy (types I-III) had good vocal outcomes.
Objective: To compare post treatment quality of life (QoL) of patients treated by radiotherapy or endoscopic transoral endolaryngeal surgery using two quality of life scoring tools.
Methods: From May 1998 to July 2005, 48 patients (11 women and 37 men) with early glottic cancer were treated with curative radiotherapy (18 patients) or laser cordectomy (30 patients), and retrospectively evaluated using QoL questionnaires; European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) - EORTC-QoL Core Questionnaire (QLQ-C30 version 2.0) and organ specific EORTC - QLQ, Head and Neck Module (QLQ-H&N35) at the University Hospital Motol, Czech Republic.
