Objective: This study aimed to discuss the different surgical approach, functional hearing results, which are applied to patients operated with a diagnosis of otosclerosis in our clinic.

Methods: This study includes 92 ears of 84 patients who were operated with the diagnosis of otosclerosis. Air bone gap was calculated before and after the operation in all patients.

Chorda Tympani nerve injury during tympanoplasty. Comparison of endoscopic and microscopic methods.

Purpose: Iatrogenic injury of the chorda tympani nerve (CTN) is a well-recognized complication of middle ear surgery The aim of the present study was to compare CTN injury occurring as a result of type 1 tympanoplasty performed using microscopic and endoscopic methods.

Methods: A retrospective study was conducted at our institution on patients diagnosed with chronic otitis and then treated with type 1 tympanoplasty surgery between January, 2013 and January, 2014 .The patients were divided into two groups; group 1 consisted of patients who underwent endoscopic tympanoplasty and group 2 consisted of patients who underwent microscopic tympanoplasty.

Single Dose Topical Application of Clotrimazole for the Treatment of Otomycosis: Is This Enough?

Background And Objectives: To determine the efficacy of filling the external auditory meatus with 1% clotrimazole at a single visit for the treatment of otomycosis. Subjects and.

Methods: This prospective study included 40 patients who were referred to our clinic with complaints of ear itching, pain, and fullness, and were diagnosed with unilateral otomycosis.

Oval Window Temperature Changes in an Endoscopic Stapedectomy.

Objectives: Following the initial use of endoscopes in otology, the pros and cons of these instruments have been questioned increasingly. These instruments cause an increase in temperature that needs to be investigated. In this study, the authors aimed to investigate the temperature increase caused by endoscopes and light sources in the perilymph by performing a stapedotomy in an animal model under anesthesia.

Treatment of Large Tympanic Membrane Perforations: Medial to Malleus Versus Lateral to Malleus.

The perforation size affects the success of tympanic membrane (TM) reconstruction, in addition to the surgical technique used. Large TM perforations present a surgical challenge. The perforation size has been reported to be a prognostic factor, and poorer results are obtained with large versus small perforations.

Hemostatic efficacy of a traditional medicinal plant extract (Ankaferd Blood Stopper) in bleeding control.

The aim of this study is to assess the in vivo hemostatic effect of Ankaferd Blood Stopper (ABS) on rats using a tail bleeding model. Wistar rats were randomized into 4 groups of 9 each: group 1, control, no pretreatment, irrigated with saline; group 2, no pretreatment, irrigated with ABS; group 3, control, heparin pretreatment, irrigated with saline; and group 4, heparin pretreatment, irrigated with ABS. To control bleeding, compressive dressings were placed after instilling 1 mL of either ABS or saline to the bleeding area.

Evaluation of ceruloplasmin levels in patients undergoing surgical interventions with nasal polyps.

Objective: Oxidative stress is believed to have a role in the development of nasal polyps (NPs). It is also known that ceruloplasmin (CP), an acute phase protein, limits oxidative stress. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the ceruloplasmin levels in patients with NPs.

A rare case of petrous apex osteoma.

Osteomas are the most common tumours of the cranial vault and facial skeleton. Temporal bone osteoma is a rare entity. An osteoma arising from the petrous apex is extremely rare.

The effect of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy on the hearing.

Objective: To investigate the effects of extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy on hearing.

Methods: The study group consisted of 34 patients with urinary lithiasis on whom ESWL was applied in a single course. Patients with normal hearing levels were included in the study.

Primary hydatid cyst: an unusual cause of a mass in the supraclavicular region of the neck.

Unlabelled: Hydatid disease, also known as echinococcosis or hydatidosis, is an infectious disease caused by the cestode Echinococcus. Echinococcus granulosus is the most common Echinococcus species affecting human beings. It may affect any organ and tissue in the body, in particular the liver and lung.

The hemostatic efficacy of Ankaferd Blood Stopper in adenoidectomy.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of Ankaferd Blood Stopper (ABS) in the control of intraoperative and postoperative bleeding in adenoidectomy.

Methods: In total, 90 patients underwent traditional cold steel adenoidectomy and were then randomized to receive ABS or 0.9% physiological saline solution to obtain hemostasis.

The efficacy of Ankaferd Blood Stopper in heparin-induced hemostatic abnormality in a rat epistaxis model.

Objective: To assess the in vivo hemostatic effect of Ankaferd Blood Stopper (ABS).

Study Design: An experimental study of an animal anterior epistaxis model.

Setting: A tertiary care university hospital.

Nostril stenosis after undue power application of electric cauterization used in hypertrophy of inferior turbinate.

Nostril stenosis is an uncommon deformity with a variable aetiology. It may be either congenital or acquired. The causes of the acquired form includes trauma, infection and iatrogenic injury to the vestibular skin.

A mean red blood cell volume loss in tonsillectomy, adenoidectomy and adenotonsillectomy.

Objective: To calculate a mean red blood cell volume (RBCV) loss per kilogram (kg) in adenoidectomy, tonsillectomy, and adeno-tonsillectomy.

Materials And Methods: Pre- and post-operative complete blood cell count, and pre-operative clotting studies of 144 patients were measured. Total blood volume (75 or 70 ml/kg), pre- and post-operative RBCV (hematocritxtotal blood volume), RBCV loss, per kg RBCV loss and per cent RBCV loss were calculated.

Audiological findings in patients with ankylosing spondylitis.

Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory disease. The aim of this investigation was to study the relationship between AS and hearing loss. This study compared 28 patients with AS with 23 age-matched controls.

[An unusual tracheobronchial aspiration in a patient with total laryngectomy].

Laryngectomized patients use a variety of tools for tracheostomy cleaning, some of which may vary greatly depending on their sociocultural status. The use of inappropriate tools may lead to complications. A seventy-eight-year-old male patient who had a history of total laryngectomy 12 years ago presented with difficulty in breathing and sputum production.
