Investigation of factors affecting pediatric type 1 endoscopic tympanoplasty results and success rates of surgery.

Objective: There are many factors that affect the results of tympanoplasty in children. Recurrent ear infections, hearing loss, and more serious complications due to cholesteatoma may be observed. This study examined factors affecting the success of type 1 endoscopic tympanoplasty surgery in pediatric patients and investigated recommended procedures to increase the success of the operation.

Comparison of crushed cartilage used and not used as camouflage grafts in patients who had undergone septorhinoplasty.

Objective: Septorhinoplasty is the most frequently performed aesthetic operation. Many techniques are used in septorhinoplasty, and these techniques can affect patient satisfaction, which is one of the most important parameters showing success in surgery. In this study, we aimed to compare the postoperative satisfaction of patients with and without crushed cartilage onlay grafts.

Is there a relationship between middle concha bullosa and ethmoid roof asymmetry?

Introduction: The middle turbinate and ethmoid roof are intranasal structures and may have many anatomical variations. These structures, which serve as anatomical markers during functional sinus surgery, are important for preventing complications and performing a proper surgery. Knowledge of anatomical variations will increase surgical success and reduce complications.

Olfactory Cleft Width and Volume: Possible Risk Factors for Postinfectious Olfactory Dysfunction.

Objectives/hypothesis: Upper respiratory tract infections are a common cause of temporary and permanent olfactory dysfunction in the general population. Postviral or postinfectious olfactory loss (PIOL) develops only in rare cases. The aim of this study was to investigate the anatomical features of olfactory cleft (OC) in patients with PIOL to shed light on possible predisposing factors for PIOL.

Is septoplasty effective rhinogenic headache in patients with isolated contact point between inferior turbinate and septal spur?

Background: Rhinogenic headache is a painful sensation in the head and face due to intranasal contact point without any mass or inflammatory findings. Surgery is recommended in patients with nasal obstruction; however the approach in case of isolated mucosal contact point that does not cause obstruction is controversial. Our aim is to observe changes in the severity of headache in patients with isolated mucosal contact point and headache who do not complain of nasal obstruction.

Is there any effect of anxiety and depression scores on the improvement of tinnitus after surgery in chronic otitis patients with tinnitus.

Background: Tinnitus is a common disease in public. It is not only associated with neuronal, muscular, vascular pathologies, but also with related psychological parameters. In this study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between tinnitus, anxiety and depression in patients undergoing tympanoplasty.

Association of Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo with Osteoporosis and Vitamin D Deficiency: A Case Controlled Study.

Objective: Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is a common type of vertigo caused by the peripheral vestibular system. The majority of cases are accepted as idiopathic. Calcium metabolism also plays a primary role in the synthesis/absorption of otoconia made of calcium carbonate and thus might be an etiological factor in the onset of BPPV.

Evaluation of Cervical Vestibular-Evoked Myogenic Potential Findings in Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo.

Objective: Although there has been a wide consensus on the mechanism of nystagmus and clinical presentation of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), the neuroepithelial pathophysiology of BPPV still remains unclear. In this study, we aimed to clarify the pathophysiology of BPPV by evaluating the cervical vestibular-evoked myogenic potential (cVEMP) findings of patients.

Materials And Methods: Thirty-six BPPV patients and 20 healthy volunteers were included.
