Intraoperative Bleeding Control with Terlipressin in Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery.

Objective: To evaluate the use of terlipressin for intraoperative bleeding reduction in functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS).

Methods: This prospective, randomized, single-center, single-blinded cohort study included 74 cases of FESS performed under general anesthesia (GA). The patients were randomized into two groups: WT (without terlipressin, n = 39) and T (with 200 μg terlipressin, n = 35).

Safety of high-power short pulse single spot diode laser stapedotomy: an experimental animal study.

Background: We present a new method of diode laser stapedoplasty - high-power short-pulse mode with preliminary carbonization of the waveguide and a single spot of laser ablation.

Aims/objective: The aim of our research is the safety evaluation of presented mode 0.98 µm diode laser cochleostomy in guinea pigs.
