Objective: Approximately 50 million US adults experience chronic tinnitus, yet search behaviors and topics of concern to these patients have not been investigated on a national level.
Study Design: Observational.
Setting: Online database and tertiary otology clinic.
Objective: To investigate the effect of body mass index on hearing outcomes, operative time and complication rates following stapes surgery.
Method: This is a five-year retrospective review of 402 charts from a single tertiary otology referral centre from 2015 to 2020.
Results: When the patient's shoulder was adjacent to the surgeon's dominant hand, the average operative time of 40 minutes increased to 70 minutes because of a significant positive association between higher body mass index and longer operative times (normal body mass index group (<25 kg/m) r = 0.
Cochlear implantation (CI) has become an option for the treatment of hearing loss after translabyrinthine resection of vestibular schwannomas. The surgical video presents the case of a 67-year-old male who had translabyrinthine resection of vestibular schwannoma with simultaneous CI and closure with a hydroxyapatite (HA) cement cranioplasty. HA cement cranioplasty can be utilized in place of abdominal fat graft for the closure of translabyrinthine approaches with similar efficacy and complication profile.
