The effect of single-layer and double-layer graft usage in tympanoplasty on hearing and graft success.
Eur Arch Otorhinolaryngol
December 2024
Article Synopsis
- * A comparison was made between 195 patients regarding hearing improvement and 211 patients for GSR, focusing on 103 DLG and 108 SLG patients' postoperative results.
- * Findings revealed that while the DLG group had slightly better hearing averages, there was no significant difference in hearing gain or GSR between DLG and SLG, suggesting DLG may not be the better choice and could potentially negatively impact hearing.
Objective: This study aimed to assess the effect of drilling during mastoidectomy on otolithic organ functions and development of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo using objective vestibular tests.
Materials And Methods: The study included 45 adult patients diagnosed with chronic otitis media who underwent mastoidectomy with drilling. Pre-operative and post-operative assessments included tests for subjective visual vertical deviation and videonystagmography.
Long-term follow-up of tonsillectomy efficacy in children with PFAPA syndrome.
Braz J Otorhinolaryngol
February 2019
Introduction: The role of tonsillectomy in the periodic fever, aphthous stomatitis, pharyngitis, and adenitis syndrome, is controversial. Although some studies reported high success rates with tonsillectomy, further investigations are needed with larger numbers of patients.
Objective: To seek the long-term outcomes of tonsillectomy in periodic fever, aphthous stomatitis, pharyngitis, and adenitis syndrome.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate how anterior palatoplasty affects upper airway volume in patients with snoring and mild-moderate obstructive sleep apnea using CT scans.
- A total of 22 patients underwent assessments before and after the surgery, revealing a significant increase in total upper airway volume and changes in soft palate length, though soft palate thickness remained unchanged.
- The findings suggest that anterior palatoplasty notably enhances upper airway volume and cross-sectional area, while lateral airway dimensions are not significantly impacted, highlighting the effectiveness of CT imaging for assessing airway changes post-surgery.
The Healing Effects of Autologous Mucosal Grafts in Experimentally Injured Rabbit Maxillary Sinuses.
Clin Exp Otorhinolaryngol
March 2016
Objectives: Healing processes of the nose and paranasal sinuses are quite complex, and poorly understood. In this study, we aimed to compare the effect of mucosal autologous grafts on the degenerated rabbit maxillary sinus mucosa with spontaneous wound healing. It is hypothesized that mucosal grafts will enhance ciliogenesis and improve the morphology of regenerated cilia.

Objectives: In this study, we reported our experience with a new transcutaneous bone conduction hearing device, the Baha® Attract System.
Patients And Methods: This multi-center clinical study included the first 12 patients (8 females, 4 males; mean age 27.6 years; range 5 to 65 years) in whom a new transcutaneous bone conduction system was implanted in Turkey.
The effect of memantine on functional recovery of the facial nerve after crush injury.
Eur Arch Otorhinolaryngol
February 2015
The objective of this study is to establish whether memantine is an alternative and effective treatment on facial nerve recovery after crush injury, and also to analyze the effective doses of this promising agent. This is a randomized controlled animal study. 40 rats underwent crush injury to left main trunk of the facial nerve, and divided into 4 groups; (1) control (saline treated), (2) 5-mg/kg memantine, (3) 10-mg/kg memantine, and (4) 20-mg/kg memantine group.
