Hyoid Bone Suspension as a Part of Multilevel Surgery for Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome.

 Since oropharyngeal surgery alone is often insufficient to treat obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), advances have been developed in hypopharyngeal surgery.  To assess hyoid suspension surgery as part of a multilevel OSA surgery, also including palatal surgery.  The study included patients with OSA symptoms with apnea hypopnea index (AHI) > 15.

Laryngo-Tracheo-Bronchial Foreign Bodies in Children: Clinical Presentations and Complications.

Introduction: Foreign-body (FB) aspiration in the airway of children is a life-threatening clinical situation responsible for many deaths each year The aim of this study was to evaluate the different clinical presentations, methods of diagnosis, types and complications of FB inhalation in the pediatric age group.

Materials And Methods: The study included patients who presented with a definitive or suspicious history of FB aspiration. Detailed data for each patient were recorded concerning the age, sex, nature and site of the FB, presenting symptoms and signs, and radiological findings.

Nasalance Changes Following Various Endonasal Surgeries.

 There is change in nasalance post endonasal surgery which is not permanent.  The objective of this study is to evaluate the long-term nasalance changes following different types of endonasal surgeries.  We included in this study patients who underwent sinonasal surgery at the Otorhinolaryngology Department in Zagazig University Hospitals from February 2015 until March 2016.

Relation of Lower Last Molar Teeth With Mandibular Fractures.

Objectives: The objectives of this study were to study and investigate the relation between the state of the lower last molar teeth eruption and the site of the mandibular fractures.

Methods: Adult patients with traumatic mandibular fractures were included in this study. Panorama and computed tomography was performed for all patients.

Early and Delayed Effect of Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery on Intraocular Pressure.

 Due to the close anatomical relationship between the paranasal sinuses and the orbit, involvement or injury of the orbit from paranasal sinuses procedures may occur.  We aimed to study the early and delayed effect of endoscopic sinus surgery on intraocular pressure (IOP).  We included in the study 38 patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), undergoing FESS.

The Efficacy of Adjuvant Intratympanic Steroid Treatment for Otitis Media with Effusion in Children.

Introduction: Otitis media with effusion (OME) is a leading cause of hearing impairment in children. Therefore, early and proper management is essential.

Objectives: The objective of this research is to assess the efficacy of intratympanic (IT) steroids injection for management of otitis media with effusion (OME).

Effect of central inset pharyngeal flap for velopharyngeal insufficiency on eustachian tube function.

Objectives/hypothesis: The aim of this study was to assess the effect of the central inset pharyngeal flap, used for correcting persistent velopharyngeal incompetence after cleft palate repair, on Eustachian tube (ET) function.

Methods: This study included 28 patients who were diagnosed with persistent velopharyngeal insufficiency following primary cleft palate repair, together with otitis media with effusion (OME) and/or ET dysfunction that failed to improve after the primary palatoplasty and extensive medical treatment. Diagnosis of velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI) in these cases was performed by video nasoendoscopy and speech assessment.

5 years follow up after transnasal endoscopic surgery of Thornwaldt's cyst with powered instrumentation.

Objective: To assess the long term results of a transnasal endoscopic, power-assisted marsupilization of Thornwaldt's cyst (TC).

Methods: Patients who were operated and followed up at our institution for the management of symptomatic TC in the period from February 2002 till May 2012 were included in the study. All the patients were operated through a transnasal endoscopic power-assisted marsupilization of the cyst.
