Non-Mucosa Sparing (Reboot) Surgery as a Possible Rescue Therapy in Patients Locally Unresponsive to Biologics.

Evaluation of effectiveness of non-mucosa-sparing (eg, reboot) surgery in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP), poorly responders to mAb therapy, who failed repeated comprehensive endoscopic surgeries. Retrospective observational study. Patients who were under mAb for a comorbid condition but still had no control over their CRSwNP were included.

Endoscopic endonasal dacryocystorhinostomy: impact of long-standing disease on surgical outcomes.

Purpose: To assess whether the duration of disease may influence the surgical success of Endonasal Endoscopic DCR (EE-DCR) in patients affected by nasolacrimal duct obstruction (NLDO).

Methods: Single-center observational retrospective analysis on EE-DCR via posterior trans-ethmoidal approach. Consecutive patients were enrolled in 2021-2024 and evaluated with proper questionnaires; resolution of epiphora and dacryocystitis were analyzed after 1 (T1) and 6-months (T2) from surgery.

Psychiatric Burden in Chronic Sinonasal Diseases: A Single-Center Cross-Sectional Observational Study.

Background And Objectives: Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) and nasal septum deviation (SD) are two widely diffused clinical conditions in otorhinolaryngology clinical practice. Albeit nasal symptoms are the most commonly referred by patients affected by both conditions, recent evidence has explored the impairment of nasal function beyond its local implication. Indeed, the prevalence of psychiatric disorders, specifically anxiety and depression, was found higher in patients suffering from SD or CRS than in the general population.

Outcomes of Endoscopic Endonasal Dacryocystorhinostomy in Glaucoma Patients.

Background: Anti-glaucoma eye drops have been investigated due to their production of fibrotic changes on the conjunctival surface, undermining the functioning of the upper lacrimal drainage system. We aimed to assess whether these effects may impair the effectiveness of endoscopic endonasal dacryocystorhinostomy (EE-DCR).

Methods: This is a single-center observational retrospective study on EE-DCR via a posterior approach.

High-definition 3D exoscope-assisted tonsillectomy.

Tonsillectomy is one of the most frequent surgical procedures performed by ENT surgeons. The high-definition 3D exoscope showed to be a promising tool to substitute the operating microscope in performing microsurgical procedures. However, transoral surgery might represent an innovative application of this visualization and magnification tool.
