Surgical treatment of larynx T1N0M0 cancer - partial laryngectomy modified Majer-Piquet's intervention.

The increase of general radiation background in Georgia and some national characteristics such as spicy dishes, high level of alcohol and cigarette consumption, emotional, loud way of speaking result in a high percentage of people suffering from larynx malignant tumor. As generally known, the majority of larynx cancer cases represent surgical indications and only a small percentage submit to radio or chemotherapy. Since the beginning of the previous century, laryngologists have been intensely thinking about maintaining the larynx itself when giving surgical treatment.

Influence of acoustic rhinometry, rhinoresistometry and endoscopic sinus surgery on voice quality.

Twenty-one patients with documented chronic paranasal sinusitis, being in need of endoscopic endonasal sinus surgery were subjected to voice analysis. Tape recordings of sustained vowels were performed both pre- and postoperatively. All voice samples were examined with a system of sound spectrographic analysis.

Investigation of the nasal cycle function through endoscopy, rhinoresistometry and acoustic rhinomety.

The cyclic congestion and decongestion in both nasal cavities systematically accompany the nose respiratory function. The turbulent behavior of the nasal airflow seems to be a prerequisite of the adequate contact of inspired air particles with a nasal mucosa. The aim of the present study was to gain further information regarding the turbulent airflow behavior just during the nasal cycle dynamics.

A combined application of acoustic rhinometry, rhinoresistometry, and flow simulation of the nose mucosa before and after turbinate surgery: a model study.

The interpretation of rhinometric results seems difficult, particularly in young examiners. In order to follow rhinometric assessments precisely, the knowledge of the nose airflow mechanisms is necessary. In this direction, in a model study the consequences of nasal concha surgery on acoustic rhinometry and rhinoresistometry were systematically investigated.

The results of surgical treatment of middle ear cholesteatoma by using open and closed techniques.

Middle ear cholesteatoma caused by repeated ear infections over time, destroys the delicate middle ear bones and causes permanent hearing loss or dizziness. It may grow to involve the facial nerve causing facial paralysis. In some instances, cholesteatomas can expand up into the brain, causing meningitis, sinus thrombosis, facial nerve palsy, vestibulitis and differently localized abscess.
