Long-Term Follow-up from the Treatment and Crossover Arms of a Randomized Controlled Trial of an Absorbable Nasal Implant for Dynamic Nasal Valve Collapse.

We report the long-term safety and efficacy outcomes of the treatment and crossover arms of a randomized controlled trial evaluating an absorbable nasal implant to address dynamic nasal valve collapse. Participants were adults with severe/extreme nasal airway obstruction primarily due to nasal valve insufficiency who had implant placement. Follow-up visits were at 3, 6, 12, 18, and 24 months post implant.

Awake Rhinology Surgery in Response to the COVID-19 Pandemic in Europe.

Background: European health-care systems are faced with a backlog of surgical procedures following the suspension of routine surgery during the COVID-19 crisis. Routine rhinology surgery under general anaesthetic (GA) is now faced with significant challenges which include limited theatre capacity, the negative ramifications of surgical prioritization, reduced patient throughput in secondary care, and additional personal protective equipment requirements. Delayed surgery in rhinology, particularly with regards to chronic rhinosinusitis, has previously been shown to have poorer surgical outcomes, a detrimental effect on quality of life and long-term negative health socio-economic effects.

Epidural hematoma after tympanomastoidectomy and bone-anchored hearing aid (BAHA) placement: case report.

Background And Importance: Epidural hematoma (EDH) has never been reported as a complication after placement of a bone-anchored hearing aid (BAHA). To our knowledge, this is the first case report of an EDH after placement of a BAHA.

Clinical Presentation: We report the case of a 15-year-old girl with an EDH after placement of a BAHA.

Perioral rejuvenation: complementary techniques and procedures.

The intertwined nature of the aging process necessitates the use of complementary techniques to address each different aspect. Aging affects the perioral region in very specific ways that involve the upper lip, oral commissures, vermilion and philtral columns, lower lip, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and perioral rhytids.
