Article Synopsis
- The study compares surgical and hearing results of two techniques—incus interposition (IP) and malleostapediopexy (MS)—for repairing large defects in the incus bone of the ear.
- A total of 71 patients were involved, with significant improvements in hearing observed in the MS group, showing an average auditory gain of 18.3 dB compared to 14.7 dB in the IP group.
- The MS technique also had a higher success rate in achieving a postoperative air-bone gap of less than 20 dB at 88.2%, while the IP group had a 70.3% success rate, suggesting MS is a more effective option for these
Objectives: Misplacement of the CI electrode array is one of the rarest complications of cochlear implant surgery. This condition can be noticed intraoperatively and diagnosed radiologically in the early postoperative period. To present a novel and minimally invasive revision approach for a misplaced cochlear implant (CI) electrode array.

Eur Arch Otorhinolaryngol
February 2024
Background: To report the presentation, diagnostic process, management and results of cochlear implantation of patients diagnosed with Bjornstad syndrome with profound sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL).
Case Presentation And Management: A retrospective report of two siblings with Bjornstad syndrome suffering profound SNHL unresponsive to conventional hearing aids treated with bilateral simultaneous cochlear implantation.
Setting: Tertiary-referral center.
Purpose: The objectives of the present clinical trial are to describe our surgical technique for advanced tympanosclerosis (TS) and to present the comparison of pre-and postoperative audiometric results.
Methods: 21 patients suffering from advanced TS (Only type III and IV patients according to Wielinga-Kerr classification) were enrolled in this prospective study. A pure transcanal endoscopic approach was preferred for all patients included in the study.
Purpose: To compare endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy (endo-DCR) + septoplasty with endo-DCR alone and determine the relationship between sinusitis and endo-DCR surgery results.
Methods: Our study included 55 patients with nasolacrimal duct obstruction (NLDO) between June 2017 and June 2019. Patients were divided into two groups as endo-DCR alone and endo-DCR + septoplasty.

Objective: To analyze Turkish (Host) and Syrian (Refugee) newborn hearing screening results and factors of risk.
Methods: All newborns between 02.12.
Introduction: Adenoidectomy is one of the most common surgical procedures performed in children in otorhinolaryngology practice. This study aims to compare the conventional curettage adenoidectomy (CCA) and the endoscope-assisted coblation adenoidectomy (EACA) in terms of the postoperative Eustachian tube function and the surgical outcomes.
Methods: A prospective, randomized, controlled study was carried out at a tertiary referral center and private hospital.
