Investigation of factors affecting pediatric type 1 endoscopic tympanoplasty results and success rates of surgery.

Objective: There are many factors that affect the results of tympanoplasty in children. Recurrent ear infections, hearing loss, and more serious complications due to cholesteatoma may be observed. This study examined factors affecting the success of type 1 endoscopic tympanoplasty surgery in pediatric patients and investigated recommended procedures to increase the success of the operation.

Unilateral Dynamic Stabilization in Recurrent Lumbar Disc Herniation.

Aim: To evaluate the effectiveness and outcomes of unilateral dynamic stabilization in patients with recurrent lumbar disc herniation (RLDH).

Material And Methods: Patients requiring an operation due to RLDH at the L4?5 level were included in the study.They divided into the following two groups: SD group who had only revision discectomy (n=20) and DD group who had unilateral dynamic rod stabilization with discectomy (n=20).

Neuroprotective Effects of Milrinone on Acute Traumatic Brain Injury.

Background: Traumatic brain injury is still an important health problem worldwide. Traumatic brain injury not only causes direct mechanical damage to the brain but also induces biochemical changes that lead to secondary nerve cell loss. In this study, we investigated the neuroprotective effect of milrinone after traumatic brain injury (TBI) in a rat model.

Is there a relationship between middle concha bullosa and ethmoid roof asymmetry?

Introduction: The middle turbinate and ethmoid roof are intranasal structures and may have many anatomical variations. These structures, which serve as anatomical markers during functional sinus surgery, are important for preventing complications and performing a proper surgery. Knowledge of anatomical variations will increase surgical success and reduce complications.

Predicting the outcome after adenoidectomy-alone for adenoid hypertrophy causing sleep disordered breathing.

Purpose: By using preoperative parameters age, body mass index, nasopharyngeal obstruction as assessed using flexible videonasopharyngoscopy, and quality of life scores in patients undergoing adenoidectomy-alone because of adenoid hypertrophy causing sleep disordered breathing, we aimed to examine the relationship between the change in quality of life scores, and preoperative parameters and to develop a tool to predict the change.

Materials And Methods: Patients who were scheduled for adenoidectomy-alone in a 12-month period were included. Flexible videnonasopharyngoscopy of the nasopharynx was performed.
