Single Sequence Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Serous Otitis Media.

Introduction: We evaluated the usability of short-term (approximately 3 minutes) T2 sequence temporal bone magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the diagnosis of serous otitis media (SOM) in our study.

Methods: A prospective study. Otoscopic examination and audiometry-tympanometry were performed on all 73 patients included in the study.

Investigation of Oxidative Stress in Antrochoanal Polyp Etiology.

Antrochoanal polyps (ACPs) are benign lesions of the paranasal sinuses. Similarities between ACPs and nasal polyps have been previously investigated. However, oxidative stress has been implicated but not investigated in terms of the etiology of ACPs.

Prospective randomized comparison of tongue base resection techniques: Robotic vs coblation.

Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the effectiveness and morbidities of two different tongue base surgical approaches in patients with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA).

Design And Setting: We carried out a prospective analysis in order to understand in detail the relative impact on apnoeas of the two different tongue base procedures. Seventy cases in 85 patients with OSA were divided into two operating groups and randomized.

Comparison of natural ostiodilatation and endoscopic sinus surgery in the same patient with chronic sinusitis.

Introduction: Chronic rhinosinusitis is a broad clinical syndrome characterized by mucosal inflammation of the nose and paranasal sinuses. In order for the paranasal sinuses to maintain their physiological functions; the ostiomeatal complex drainage pathways must be open. Surgical procedures are an important treatment option in patients who do not respond adequately to medical treatment.

Is Allergic Rhinitis a Factor That Affects Success of Tympanoplasty?

Objective: The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of allergic rhinitis on the success of the operation in chronic otitis surgery by using score for allergic rhinitis (SFAR).

Materials And Methods: In the present study; 121 patients, who underwent type 1 tympanoplasty were examined retrospectively. SFAR of all patients were recorded.

Impact of partial and total tonsillectomy on adenoid regrowth.

Objectives/hypothesis: To compare the rates of adenoid regrowth in children who underwent total tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy (TA) versus partial intracapsular tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy (ITA).

Study Design: Retrospective cohort study.

Methods: A medical database was used to retrieve the records of 5,120 children younger than 12 years of age who had an adenoidectomy in combination with a tonsil surgery between April 2008 and September 2014.
