Endoscopic Fat Graft Myringoplasty Augmented With Hyaluronic Acid for Managing Large-Sized Eardrum Perforations; A Prospective Comparative Randomised Study.

Objectives: We aimed to assess the outcomes of fat graft myringoplasty augmented with hyaluronic acid in closing large-sized eardrum perforations compared to the traditional underlay cartilage-perichondrium composite myringoplasty (CPCM).

Study Design: It was a prospective randomised comparative study.

Settings: It was held in tertiary referral institutions between May 2020 and April 2022.

The impact of adding platelet-rich plasma during fat graft myringoplasty for managing medium-sized tympanic membrane perforations: A prospective randomized case-control study.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of adding platelet-rich plasma (PRP) during FGM to close medium-sized TM perforations.

Methods: This prospective randomized case-control study was conducted from February 2017 to March 2022. We included 320 patients with a medium-sized TM perforation with inactive mucosal otitis media.

Thyroid chondroplastic flap for resection of laryngoceles.

Purpose: Large and combined laryngoceles usually need an external approach. One difficulty in such approach was the dissection at the paraglottic space. To overcome such difficulty, a thyroid chondroplastic flap approach to the paraglottic space was designed.

Iatrogenic facial nerve exposure in cochlear implant surgery: incidence and clinical significance in the absence of intra-operative nerve monitoring.

Iatrogenic facial nerve injury is one of the most feared complications of cochlear implantation. Intraoperative facial nerve monitoring is used as an adjunctive modality in a variety of neurotologic surgeries including cochlear implantation. With the lack of nerve monitoring, there is a theoretically higher risk of iatrogenic fallopian canal dehiscence with facial nerve exposure, particularly the mastoid portion, during cochlear implant surgery.

Platelet-Rich Plasma Fat Graft versus Cartilage Perichondrium for Repair of Medium-Size Tympanic Membrane Perforations.

Objectives: To compare clinical and audiologic outcomes among patients who underwent myringoplasty with fat graft enriched with platelet-rich plasma and cartilage perichondrium graft.

Study Design: Prospective randomized controlled study.

Setting: Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, Tanta University, Egypt.

Evaluation of Adding Lidocaine to Dexamethasone in the Intra-tympanic Injection for Management of Tinnitus: A Prospective, Randomized, Controlled Double-blinded Trial.

Objectives: Assessment of adding lidocaine to dexamethasone in the intratympanic injections for the treatment of subjective idiopathic tinnitus (SIT).

Method: A prospective, controlled, randomized, double-blind study of forty-four patients with SIT diagnosed in the Department of Otolaryngology, Tanta University Hospital, a tertiary academic medical centre from March 2015 to October 2016. 44 patients were recruited in the study and were categorized into two groups; (A) included 22 patients managed with ITLD, and (B) included 22 patients managed with intratympanic postoperative ITD injection.
