Hearing Improvement in the Patients Operated on Otosclerosis by Right-Handed Surgeons.

Background: Otosclerosis is a disease of the osseous labyrinth. The disease causes 5% to 9% of all cases of hearing loss and 18% to 22% of conductive hearing loss. The treatment of choice is a surgery.

Otosclerosis - analysis of factors influencing the improvement of hearing after surgical treatment.

<b>Introduction:</b> Otosclerosis is a disease that occurs only in humans, in the course of which there are foci of pathological ossification in the temporal bone. The etiology of the dise ase is not fully understood. Treatment of the conductive component of hearing loss is surgical.

The Audiometric Assessment of the Effectiveness of Surgical Treatment of Otosclerosis Depending on the Preoperative Incidence of Carhart's Notch.

The presence of Carhart's notch at 2000 Hz in otosclerosis links the changed bone conduction for this frequency with the otosclerotic process occurring in the oval window. The aim of this study is to perform an audiometric assessment of the effectiveness of surgical treatment of otosclerosis depending on the incidence of Carhart's notch. The analysis included 116 patients treated surgically for the first time due to otosclerosis.

Chronic rhinosinusitis: microbiology and treatment of acute exacerbations in patients after endoscopic surgery.

Objective: Antibiotics are the mainstay of therapy for acute exacerbation of chronic rhinosinusitis. However, no treatment guidelines exist. Most clinicians follow the recommendations for acute bacterial rhinosinusitis, usually caused by , or , and treat with amoxicillin or amoxicillin-clavulanate.

The suitability of scanning electron microscopy in the evaluation of bone structure surfaces and selection of alloplastic materials for facial skeletal reconstruction.

Introduction: Functional and aesthetic problems can arise even from small losses created in the facial skeleton. Injuries and oncological surgeries are the most frequent causes of these losses within the facial skeleton. Advances in surgical interventions have allowed for ever-increasing degrees of resections, increasing oncological radicality as well as treatment effectiveness, providing the patient with the chance for a longer life.
