Three-Dimensional Endoscopic Endonasal Surgery: A Systematic Review.

Objectives: To compare participant performance and preference in the use of three-dimensional (3D) endoscopy compared to traditional two-dimensional (2D) endoscopy.

Methods: PubMed, Embase, Medline, ClinicalKey, BMJ Case Reports, and the Cochrane library were systematically searched for English-language articles published between 2005 and 2020. Studies reporting comparisons of outcomes between 3D and 2D endoscopes were identified.

Metal-Working Fluids Exposure and a Rare Frontoethmoid Lesion.

This case report describes a unique nasal mass that was difficult to diagnose clinically and histologically. The patient was a middle-aged man employed as a metalworker, and he presented with a unilateral nasal obstruction and a mass arising from the right middle meatus. After a series of investigations, he underwent right-sided sphenoethmoidectomy with excision of a nasal lesion.

Correction of the Over-resected Nose.

Overzealous reduction during rhinoplasty may result in manifold functional as well as aesthetic injuries to the nose and is a prevailing antecedent of revision rhinoplasty. Although challenges for the revision rhinoplasty surgeon abound, careful assessment of the anatomic deficiencies of the nose, accurate evaluation and management of a patient's expectations, and precise planning and execution of surgical technique serve to facilitate a successful result. Contemporary techniques for correction of the over-resected nose are discussed, with special attention directed toward costal cartilage grafting and diced cartilage fascia techniques.

Vocal fold medialization-A 5-year series of single surgeon consecutive medialization with review of literature.

Introduction: ENT UK released guidelines in 2010 detailing the requisite structure for the creation of a laryngeal intervention clinic. The senior author's practice is the only one regionally that offers this service, and our objective was to review this to determine whether vocal cord medialization injections were showing an improvement in quality of voice for patients.

Materials And Methods: Patients were reviewed in a specialist voice clinic prior to being offered vocal cord injection under local anaesthetic in a separate dedicated weekly clinic.

Breadth and Depth: Three-Dimensional Endoscopic Field of View: Two-Dimensional Versus Three-Dimensional Endoscopic Field of View.

Background: Three-dimensional (3D) endoscopy is an emerging tool in ear-nose-throat (ENT) and skull base surgery with the benefit of providing real-time depth perception. Several investigators have reported that the field of view (FOV) is reduced in 3D endoscopes compared with regular 2-dimensional (2D) endoscopes. Thus, we objectively compared the FOV of 2D and 3D endoscopes.

Riedel's Procedure: A Modification to Obliterate Step Defect.

Sinus surgery was first introduced by the ancient Egyptians. In 1750 was the first modern description of frontal sinus surgery. In 1898, Riedel advocated complete removal of the anterior table and floor of the frontal sinus while simultaneously stripping the mucosa.

Three-dimensional endoscopy: The future of nasoendoscopic training.

Objectives/hypothesis: Three-dimensional (3D) endoscopy is an emerging tool in surgery that provides real-time depth perception. Its benefits have been investigated in surgical training, but the current literature lacks significant objective outcome data. We aimed to objectively compare the efficacy of two-dimensional (2D) versus 3D high-definition endoscopes in novice users.

Endoscopic training-is the future three-dimensional?

Background/objectives: Endoscopic surgery has a distinct disadvantage compared to direct vision: loss of binocular vision. Three-dimensional endoscopy has been welcomed due to the promise of improving stereopsis.

Methods: Prospective randomized study of junior doctors with minimal endoscopic experience, using both two-dimensional and three-dimensional, zero-degree, 4-mm Storz endoscopes.

Unabsorbed dura patch removed eight years after pituitary surgery.

The Codman ETHISORB Dura Patch is a synthetic, absorbable material whose absorption is complete within approximately 90 days. We report the first case of an unabsorbed Codman Dura patch, in which a patient was presented with nasal obstruction and epistaxis 8 years after pituitary surgery for Cushing's disease.

Three-Dimensional Hand-to-Gland Combat: The Future of Endoscopic Surgery?

Objective To compare two dimensional (2D), three-dimensional (3D) non-high-definition (HD), and 3D HD endoscopic surgical techniques. Methods We describe our initial operative experience with a novel 3D HD endoscopic endonasal approach involving a pituitary adenoma resection, provide a case series, and review the current literature. This is the first case in Europe using the new 3D HD endoscope.

Hand transplant surgery.

In September 1998 the world's first hand transplant was performed in Lyon, France. A new era in reconstructive surgery had begun. This case highlighted the potential for composite tissue allotransplantation (CTA).

Capsular contracture - What are the risk factors? A 14 year series of 1400 consecutive augmentations.

The modern era of breast augmentation and reconstruction began in 1963, with the introduction of silicone implants by Cronin and Gerow. To date, the demand for cosmetic augmentation continues to increase exponentially. However, whilst the surgical techniques and quality of mammary prosthesis have improved dramatically in recent years, patients are still confronted with significant potential complications.
