Subperichondrial Hematoma of Alar Cartilage: A Case Report.

Introduction: Cartilage deformation may develop due to congenital and trauma-related hematomas. Early diagnosis and treatment are imperative to prevent aesthetic and functional complications related to alar cartilage hematomas.

Case Report: An 8-year-old male presented with a major alar cartilage hematoma with a nasal fracture as a result of trauma.

Evaluation of Anterior and Posterior Pillar Suturing Following Adult Tonsillectomy in Terms of Hemorrhage, Pain, and Dysphagia Complications.

Tonsillectomy is one of the most common surgical procedures performed by otolaryngologists. Postoperative complications, although rare, can be observed in tonsillectomy. This study aimed to investigate the effect of anterior and posterior pillar suturing on dysphagia, hemorrhage, and pain complications following tonsillectomy in adult patients.

Postoperative Anatomical and Functional Success Rates of Pediatric Patients with Chronic Otitis Media: Our Experiences.

The preoperative and postoperative pure-tone hearing thresholds and anatomical graft success of pediatric patients who underwent chronic otitis mediasurgery with various indications were evaluated and the factors affecting success were examined.Pediatric patients aged 6 to 18 years, who underwent ear surgery for various reasons between January 1, 2013 and January 1, 2020 were included in the study. All patients included in the sample were assessed in terms of age (< 13 and ≥ 13 years), disease type (cholesteatoma, tympanosclerosis, adhesive otitis media, chronic suppurative otitis media, isolated or traumatic tympanic membrane perforation), surgery performed (type 1 tympanoplasty, canal wall-up mastoidectomy, and exploratory tympanotomy), condition of the contralateral ear (unilateral/bilateral disease), graft material (temporal muscle fascia/tragal cartilage), preoperative and postoperative pure-tone audiometry thresholds and hearing gains, and postoperative sixth-month functional and anatomical graft success.

Evaluation of the vestibular system in individuals with presbycusis using video head impulse test and videonystagmography.

Background: Vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) function is expected to be normal in patients with presbycusis during sudden head rotations.

Aim: This study aimed to determine whether presbycusis was accompanied by vestibular system pathologies. In addition, it was examined whether there was a difference existed between the patients with and without presbycusis in terms of normative data.

Evaluation of the use of Different Spreader Techniques in Primary Open Septorinoplasty in Terms of Nasal and Olfactory Functions.

Background: In this study, the authors aimed to investigate the use of spreader and determine the efficacy and superiority of different spreader techniques in septorhinoplasty in terms of nasal and olfactory functions.

Methods: A total of 60 patients who had undergone septorhinoplasty with the open technique were included in the study. In addition to open septorhinoplasty, 20 patients also underwent bilateral spreader graft placement and 20 bilateral spreader flap placement.

Assessment of Patient Satisfaction With Primary Septorhinoplasty Using the Rhinoplasty Outcome Evaluation Questionnaire.

Objective: To evaluate patient satisfaction according to demographic characteristics using the Rhinoplasty Outcome Evaluation (ROE) questionnaire.

Methods: In this retrospective observational study, a total of 60 patients that underwent septorhinoplasty were evaluated. The ROE questionnaire was administered to evaluate patient satisfaction after septorhinoplasty.
