Evaluation of Facial Asymmetry in Patients with Crooked Nose.

Background: This study aims to explore the correlation between facial asymmetry and a crooked nose using objective methodologies.

Methods: The cohort of 57 patients who underwent septorhinoplasty surgery for aesthetic reasons between 2019 and 2022. Patients were categorized based on the type of nasal axis deviation.

Role of steroid injection for skin thickness and edema in rhinoplasty patients.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to observe the effect of the triamcinolone acetonide injections in thick skinned patients with ultrasonographic measurements and to compare these results with the postoperative nasal skin thickness of patients that were not injected with steroids.

Methods: A prospective study was planned with 42 thick nasal skinned rhinoplasty candidates in our clinic. Skin thickness of specific points along nose was measured and documented.

External Splinting Is Not Mandatory After All Rhinoplasties: A Prospective Randomized Trial.

Background: Although casts or external splint materials are commonly applied on the external nose after rhinoplasty, their beneficial effects have not been previously demonstrated in controlled studies.

Methods: A total of 40 adult patients who underwent primary rhinoplasty were included in this prospective study. The patients were randomized into 2 groups to use an external splint or not after surgery.

Endonasal choanal atresia repair; evaluating the surgical results of 58 cases.

Background: Choanal atresia is the most common congenital nasal anomaly, with an incidence of 1:5000-1:8000 live births. Atresia can be seen as membraneous, bony or mixed type. When it is bilateral, it is accepted lifethreatening, therefore bilateral atresia necessitates immediate intervention.

Assessment of Approaches of Otorhinolaryngologists in Facial Plastic and Nasal Surgery: A Survey Study.

Objective: To assess approaches and experiences of otorhinolaryngologists in facial plastic and nasal surgery.

Methods: In total, 234 surgeons (191 males and 43 females; average age, 37.22±8.

The oblique split method: a novel technique for carving costal cartilage grafts.

Importance: Autogenous rib cartilage is widely used in the septorhinoplasty cases with major structural grafting requirements. However, there is a risk of warping over time.

Objective: To introduce a novel method for carving costal cartilage grafts to obtain straight grafts of varying thicknesses and to eliminate the risk of warping.

Nasal pepsin assay and pH monitoring in chronic rhinosinusitis.

Objectives/hypothesis: The primary objective of this study was to determine the relationship between chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) and laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR). We also investigated the diagnostic value of pepsin in nasal lavage by means of fluorometric assay as compared with 24-hour dual-probe pH monitoring.

Study Design And Methods: This is a controlled, prospective study from a retrospective dataset of 33 patients recruited for endoscopic sinus surgery between 2005 and 2006 in a tertiary care referral center (Hacettepe University Medical Center).

Acute invasive fungal rhinosinusitis: our experience with 19 patients.

Acute invasive fungal rhinosinusitis (AIFR) is a potentially fatal infection that affects immunocompromised patients. Early diagnosis and treatment, including aggressive surgical debridement, antifungal medication, and correction of underlying predisposing factors are essential for recovery. The aim of this study was to review our experience with AIFR.

Comparison of two endoscopic examination methods, the Muller maneuver and fiberoptic pharyngoscopy during sleep, in patients with obstructive sleep apnea.

Objectives: This study was designed to compare two endoscopic examination methods, the Muller maneuver (MM) and fiberoptic pharyngoscopy during sleep, both of which are used to detect obstructed segments in patients with obstructive sleep apnea.

Patients And Methods: The study included 28 patients (23 males, 5 females; mean age 44.6 years; range 28 to 59 years) who underwent uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP) for snoring or obstructive sleep apnea.

Body fat composition: a predictive factor for obstructive sleep apnea.

Objective: To investigate body fat composition, measured by bioelectrical impedance assay (BIA), for predicting the presence and severity of obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS). Body fat composition was also compared with other well-known OSAHS predictors such as body mass index (BMI), neck circumference, and abdominal visceral fat.

Study Design: A prospective study was designed.
