Article Synopsis
- The study assessed the impact of Rhinapi nasal spray on allergic rhinitis symptoms among 10,000 participants in Turkey over a 3-week period.
- The treatment led to significant improvements in total symptom scores, quality of life (QoL) scores, and otolaryngological examination scores, with statistically significant changes before and after usage.
- The findings suggest that Rhinapi effectively reduces symptoms of allergic rhinitis and can be considered as an additional treatment option for those affected.
Purpose: In this study, we aimed to examine and compare the effects of endoscopic SPGB and transoral SPGB on postoperative pain control and patient satisfaction in patients undergoing septoplasty.
Methods: Participants were randomly divided into three groups, no blockade (n:20), endoscopic SPGB (n:20), and transoral SPGB (n:20). Those who had no blockage were included in the control group.
Objectives: This study aimed to examine the effects of barbed pharyngoplasty (BP) on voice quality in patients with Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) and to compare them with the anterior palatoplasty (AP) and expansion sphincter pharyngoplasty (ESP) surgeries.
Methods: The study included 329 patients who came to the Otorhinolaryngology Clinic of our hospital with symptoms of snoring and sleep apnea between January 2020 and 2022 and were referred to the sleep laboratory for polysomnography (PSG). AP surgery was recommended for those with retropalatal stenosis in the anteroposterior direction, and ESP surgery for those with lateral stenosis.
Objectives: We aimed to examine the effects of anterior palatoplasty (AP) and functional expansion sphincter pharyngoplasty (FESP) on voice quality in patients with OSAS and to compare them with each other.
Merhods: The study included 380 patients who came to the Otorhinolaryngology Clinic of our hospital with symptoms of snoring and sleep apnea between April 2020 and April 2022 and were referred to the sleep laboratory for polysomnography (PSG).Forty patients who met the study criteria and underwent AP and 26 patients who underwent FESP were included in the study.
Objectives: Inflammation of the upper airways, thickening of the lateral pharyngeal walls, elongation of the soft palate and uvula, hypertrophy of the tonsils and base of the tongue can be seen in obstructive sleep apnea syndrome patients. Changes in these structures may affect articulation and phonation, negatively affecting the quality of the voice. Positive airway pressure (PAP) treatment reduces the volume of the root of the tongue, dissolves the edema in the upper respiratory tract, increases the posterior pharyngeal area, and positively changes the quality of the voice.
