Stapler Versus Manual Suturing for Pharyngeal Closure in Total Laryngectomy.

Background: Laryngeal carcinoma is not uncommon worldwide. We conducted this study to comprehensively compare the outcome of stapler versus conventional suturing in total laryngectomy primary or salvage.

Patients And Methods: This is a retrospective study conducted in our tertiary institute from 2015 to 2022 involving patients diagnosed with laryngeal carcinoma who underwent total laryngectomy either primary or salvage.

Evaluation of Gustatory Function in Patients with Chronic Rhinosinusitis.

Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the mucosa of the nasal cavity and nasal sinuses. Many patients with CRS complain of gustatory dysfunction which affects their quality of life. To assess the gustatory function and acuity in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis using taste strips.

The Value of Endoscopic Exposure of Round Window in Cochlear Implant via Facial Recess.

 Cochlear implantation has been considered as the best treatment in patients with severe to profound hearing loss unaidable with hearing aids. The main value of endoscope-assisted cochlear implantation is improved visibility of the RW  to assess the value of endoscopic assisted CI surgery via facial recess approach without elevating tympanic anulus.  This Prospective case series study non-randomized sample was performed on 50 patients with severe to profound hearing loss unaidable with hearing aids undergoing unilateral endoscopic assisted cochlear implant surgery with round window electrode insertion  There were 23 male and 27 female patients.

Case Report of Laryngeal Paraganglioma.

Paragangliomas are rare tumors in head and neck region. Laryngeal paragangliomas are very rare subtype of these tumors. We here present a case of laryngeal paraganglioma which was totally excised laryngoscopically.

Swallowing Problems after Thyroidectomy.

 Thyroidectomy is a common procedure. Certain swallowing problems could happen after this surgery and affect the quality of life of the patient.  To evaluate swallowing after thyroidectomy in the early and late postoperative periods and to correlate subjective and objective parameters.

Comparison of the efficacy of cochlear implantation and stapes surgery in far advanced otosclerosis: a meta-analysis study.

Objective: This study is to compare the hearing outcomes and complications of stapes surgery and cochlear implantation (CI) in patients with far-advanced otosclerosis (FAO).

Data Sources: A comprehensive electronic search of PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, Web of science and Cochrane Library was conducted in June 2021 for articles in the literature till this year.

Study Selection: Studies are published in English language, conducted on human subjects, concerned with comparison of CI and stapes surgery in the management of FAO, not Laboratory study and not Opinion study.

Landmarks for Proper Round Window Electrode Insertion in Cochlear Implantation.

Background: This study aimed to evaluate the role of landmarks for proper round window electrode insertion in cochlear implantation surgery.

Methods: This is a case series study. We included 150 patients undergoing cochlear implantation in a tertiary medical center during the period from January to December 2019.

Patterns and clinical outcomes of olfactory and gustatory disorders in six months: Prospective study of 1031 COVID-19 patients.

Objective: This study aims to comprehensively evaluate olfactory and gustatory dysfunctions during the COVID-19 pandemic regarding onset, course, associated symptoms, prognosis and relation to patients' demographics, treatment received and other symptoms.

Patients& Methods: This is a prospective study conducted on patients proven to be infected with COVID-19 and with olfactory/gustatory dysfunction symptoms. Detailed history was taken from each patient about the onset of this dysfunction, associated symptoms.

Maternal COVID-19 and neonatal hearing loss: a multicentric survey.

Purpose: Gestational SARS-Cov-2 infection can impact maternal and neonatal health. The virus has also been reported of causing sensorineural hearing loss. The objective of this study was to determine the possible effect of maternal SARS-COV-2 infection on neonatal hearing as identified during universal hearing screening.

Association of Pharyngocutaneous Fistula With Cancer Outcomes in Patients After Laryngectomy: A Multicenter Collaborative Cohort Study.

Importance: Pharyngocutaneous fistula (PCF) results in an inflammatory reaction, but its association with the rate of locoregional and distant control, disease-free survival, and overall survival in laryngeal cancer remains uncertain.

Objective: To determine if pharyngocutaneous fistula after salvage laryngectomy is associated with locoregional and distant control, disease-free survival, and/or overall survival.

Design, Setting, And Participants: A multicenter collaborative retrospective cohort study conducted at 5 centers in Canada and the US of 550 patients who underwent salvage laryngectomy for recurrent laryngeal cancer from January 1, 2000, to December 31, 2014.

Outcomes of combined use of topical and intravenous tranexamic acid on surgical field quality during functional endoscopic sinus surgery: Randomized controlled trial.

Background: Intraoperative bleeding during functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) poses a challenge to both surgeon and anesthetist. The primary aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of local, intravenous and combined use of tranexamic acid (TA) in improving the surgical field quality during FESS.

Methods: We conducted a randomized controlled double-blinded prospective trial on 120 patients scheduled for elective FESS.

Minimally Invasive Technique for Correction of Prominent Ear.

Objectives: Prominent ear is not an uncommon deformity with 5% prevalence in population worldwide. Although there is no physiological handicap in this deformity, it affects the psychology and social integration, especially in children. Many surgical techniques are performed to correct this deformity.

Arterial Blood Supply of the Nose: An Angiographic Study.

Objective: To define anatomical variations associated with arterial blood supply of the nose which has clinical implications on the management of different disorders, especially intractable posterior epistaxis.

Study Design: Case series.

Methods: Selective angiography of external and internal carotid arteries of 100 patients scheduled for routine angiography was done.
