Peroperative Cooling in Rhinoplasty: Does it Differ?

The main causes of ecchymosis and edema are osteotomy (bone manipulation), dissection of subcutaneous tissue, and skin manipulation in the rhinoplasty procedure. Eyelid edema following surgery can potentially affect visual acuity, particularly during the initial twenty-four hours after the procedure. These may also delay the patient's return to their normal social life therefore hampering their quality of life.

Orbital abscess a rare complication after bichectomy surgery.

Bichectomy is the partial removal of the Bichat's fat pad for the aim of smoothing the facial contour. The complications of bichectomy include soft tissue infections, hematoma, facial paralysis (especially buccal branch paralysis), stenon canal injuries and related complications such as sialocele and sialoadenitis, however these are not common complications in clinical practice. Here we report a case of a 29-year-old white female with a right sided orbital abscess following bichectomy.

Assessment of Different Middle Vault Reconstruction Techniques in Rhinoplasty from Multiple Patient-Reported Outcome Measures.

It is important to assess the patient satisfaction with shape and function by patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) following structural or dorsal preservation rhinoplasty (DPR) techniques on the middle nasal vault.

The role of the WNT signaling pathway in the maxillary sinus squamous cell carcinoma.

Paranasal sinus tumors are a rare type of cancer. Most of these tumors are of epithelial origin and 80% of them are maxillary sinus squamous cell carcinoma. The WNT signaling pathway is an essential embryonic regulatory pathway known to play an important role in many cancers, including head and neck cancers.

Functional Role of Scroll Reconstruction in Open Rhinoplasty.

Background: The scroll area of the nose is important for breathing; thereby, its reconstruction can improve the nasal patency.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of scroll reconstruction on breathing in patients following open rhinoplasty.

Methods: Using the prospective controlled study design, we enrolled a cohort of patients undergoing open rhinoplasty.

Orbital complications of pediatric rhinosinusitis: A single institution report.

Background And Objectives: Rhinosinusitis is one of the most common infections of childhood. Rhinosinusitis usually limits itself in the pediatric age group, however orbital and intracranial complications may arise in some of the patients. The purpose of the study was to retrospectively analyse the previous treatments and outcomes in pediatric rhinosinusitis patients with orbital complications.

PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway and autophagy regulator genes in paranasal squamous cell carcinoma metastasis.

Although there are many studies on the role of PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway and autophagy genes in the mechanism of head and neck cancer formation and prognostic significance, there is no study investigating the role of the genes in paranasal sinus carcinomas. The aim of the study was to assess the role of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway and autophagy related gene expression changes in squamous cell carcinoma of paranasal sinuses with and without neck metastasis. Eight paranasal squamous cell carcinoma patients (five without and three with neck metastasis) were included.

The Effect of Endoscopic Endonasal Transsphenoidal Skull Base Surgery on Cochlear Function.

Endoscopic transsphenoidal skull base surgery (ETSS) has become a standard approach in the treatment of sellar and clival lesions, such as pituitary adenoma and chordoma. Due to the close proximity of the clivus and the sella turcica to the inner ear, it is thought that bone drilling in the surgery may have effects on hearing. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of bone drilling in ETSS procedure on cochlear function.

Procalcitonin Levels in Chronic Rhinosinusitis.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare procalcitonin levels of patients diagnosed with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) with nasal polyposis (CRSwNP) and CRS without nasal polyposis (CRSsNP) along with healthy controls.
