Comparing The Effects of Botulinum toxin-A and multiple surgical parasympathectomy on treatment of allergic rhinitis.

Objective: Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a common disease with a recent increasing in prevalence. Traditional treatment strategies of AR, sometimes, show limited effectiveness and side effects. Intranasal injection of Botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A) and multiple postganglionic parasympathectomy of pterygopalatine ganglion (PPG) are among the increasingly used alternative treatment options of AR.

Topical mitomycin C as an adjunct to surgical debulking and medical treatment in rhinoscleroma.

Background: Rhinoscleroma is a chronic granuloma that is endemic in Egypt and is caused by gram-negative bacilli (Klebsiella rhinoscleromatis). The nasal mucosa is affected in almost all cases, which causes nasal obstruction, anosmia, and epistaxis. The disease usually passes through an atrophic stage (atrophic rhinitis) and a granulomatous stage before ending in the fibrotic stage, with possible bone destruction.

Endoscopic type 1 tympanoplasty in pediatric patients using tragal cartilage.

Importance: The main objective in the treatment of chronic otitis media is to relieve drainage and to rehabilitate hearing. Various materials can be used to repair the tympanic membrane (TM) through different tympanoplasty techniques.

Objective: To assess the results of endoscopic type I tympanoplasty in pediatric patients using tragal cartilage as a grafting material.

The value of intranasal splints after partial inferior turbinectomy.

To assess the value of using the intranasal septal splint after partial inferior turbinectomy (PIT) surgery. Prospective, randomized comparative study. The study was conducted over a period of 2 years from January 2012 to January 2014 at Minia University hospital, Minia, Egypt.

Sinonasal outcomes after endoscopic sinus surgery in asthmatic patients with nasal polyps: a difference between aspirin-tolerant and aspirin-induced asthma?

Objectives/hypothesis: Aspirin-sensitivity, asthma, and nasal polyposis (NP) comprise the clinical entity of Samter's triad. The aim of this study is to report the sinonasal outcomes of endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) in treating NP in asthmatic patients, comparing aspirin-induced asthmatic (AIA) patients with aspirin-tolerant asthmatics (ATA).

Study Design: Retrospective chart review.

Asthma outcomes after endoscopic sinus surgery in aspirin-tolerant versus aspirin-induced asthmatic patients.

Background: Certain diseases affect both upper and lower airways. Aspirin-induced asthma (AIA) is a clinical entity characterized by asthma, nasal polyposis, and aspirin intolerance. To understand the response of the lower airway to surgical treatment of the sinuses, we examined asthma outcomes in AIA compared with a second group of aspirin-tolerant asthmatic (ATA) patients to establish if there were any differences between the two groups after endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS).
