How can periorbital oedema and ecchymose be reduced in rhinoplasty?

Oedema and ecchymose are frequent morbidities of septorhinoplasty, a facial surgical procedure for reforming the shape and functions of the nose. Periorbital oedema (PO) and periorbital ecchymose (PE) are normal occurrences, but are undesirable for patients undergoing the procedure for aesthetic purposes. The present study examined 65 patients who underwent open technique septorhinoplasty for aesthetic and functional complaints.

Effects of Use of a Continuous Positive Airway Pressure Device on Glaucoma.

Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of glaucoma in obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) and to determine the efficacy of the equipment used in the treatment of this disease.

Material And Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 38 patients with OSAS used the continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) device (Group 1) and 32 patients with OSAS refused CPAP device (Group 2). Thirty-six patients did not have OSAS (Group 3).

Does rhinoplasty reduce nasal patency?

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of rhinoplasty on subjective and objective assessment of nasal patency in patients who underwent rhinoplasty for cosmetic reasons only.

Setting: Tertiary referral center.

Design: Prospective, clinical study.

Changing strategies in the treatment of maxillofacial fractures at thrace region: open vs closed reduction.

Objective: We aimed to analyze etiological factors in patients with maxillofacial trauma, treatment modalities, complications related to surgical approaches and the changing patterns in over time.

Materials And Methods: A total of 126 patients diagnosed as maxillofacial fractures between August 1998 and June 2012 were investigated in Corlu State Hospital, Ear Nose Throat and Plastic Surgery Clinics, retrospectively.

Results: Of the patients, 92 male (73.

The effect of duration of merocel in glove finger with tetracaine solution on septoplasty morbidity.

Objective: We aimed to decrease the postseptoplasty morbidities depending on nasal packing by using Merocel within glove finger moistened with tetracaine 0.25% solution.

Study Design: The study was designed as a randomized prospective study.

Effect of thermal welding tonsillectomy on emergence agitation.

: This study sought to examine the effect of thermal welding tonsillectomy that reduces pain and length of anesthesia on emergence agitation. A total of 60 patients (age range, 3–6 years) with chronic recurrent tonsillitis with an indication for tonsillectomy were included. Patients were randomly assigned to 2 groups.

A rare tumor of the parapharyngeal space: angiomyxolipoma.

Parapharyngeal space tumors are uncommon, most are salivary gland tumors (50%), and they are often pleomorphic adenomas. Neurogenic tumors are the second most common primary tumors of all neoplasms in the parapharyngeal space (30%). Angiomyxolipoma is a very rare form of lipoma.

The effect of the duration of merocel in a glove finger on postoperative morbidity.

We examined the effects of the duration of keeping a Merocel nasal packing in the nose and the application technique (packing applied either directly or inside a glove finger) on postoperative morbidity and complications. The study included 129 patients (67 males and 62 females; age range 18 to 56 years) undergoing nasal septoplasty without turbinate intervention. The patients were randomly assigned into 4 groups.

Oto-toxic effect of gastric reflux.

The reflux of gastric content from the nasopharynx into the middle ear via the Eustachian tube may disrupt inner ear functions. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of experimental gastric reflux on the cochlear function of rats. Twelve rats were included in this study.

Mid-to-long-term patency comparison of the right internal thoracic artery grafts on the left anterior descending and on the right coronary arteries.

Background: The excellent results obtained from internal thoracic artery for myocardial revascularization have led surgeons to simultaneous use of other arterial conduits, particularly the right internal thoracic artery. However, some controversy still exists regarding the optimal target coronary artery for this graft; different strategies have been proposed for bilateral internal thoracic artery grafting.

Patients And Methods: 59 patients with right internal thoracic artery grafts were monitored using coronary arteriography in order to compare the patency of this graft on the left anterior descending and the right coronary arteries.
