The Effect of Topical Tranexamic Acid on Postrhinoplasty Periorbital Ecchymosis and Eyelid Edema.

Background: This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of topical tranexamic acid application in overcoming periorbital ecchymosis and eyelid edema in patients who have undergone open-technique rhinoplasty.

Methods: Fifty patients were included in the study and divided into two groups: those who had topical tranexamic acid applied and those who did not (controls). In the tranexamic acid group, tranexamic acid-soaked pledgets were placed under the skin flap in a way that both sides could reach the osteotomy area and left for 5 minutes.

Effect of Functional Septorhinoplasty with Concha Bullosa Resection on Sinonasal Symptoms.

Objective: To evaluate the impact of functional septorhinoplasty (SRP) with and without concha bullosa resection (CBR) on sinonasal symptoms and nasal obstruction severity using the Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation (NOSE) and Sino-Nasal Outcome Test-22 (SNOT-22) scale.

Methods: Consecutive adult participants who underwent SRP were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into two groups: Group 1 (SRPwCB) underwent SRP with CBR (bulbous or extensive type MTs), and Group 2 (SRPO) underwent SRP only (normal or lamellar-type MTs).

The Effect of Acceptance of Cosmetic Surgery, Body Appreciation, and Nasal Obstruction on Patient Satisfaction After Rhinoplasty.

It is difficult to predict functional and aesthetic results and provide patient satisfaction after rhinoplasty. To investigate the effect of nasal obstruction, body appreciation, and acceptance of cosmetic surgery (ACS) in predicting patient satisfaction postrhinoplasty. We prospectively included 97 consecutive participants who underwent rhinoplasty.

Evaluation of the Relationship Between Facial Nerve and Lateral Semicircular Canal in the Posterior Tympanotomy Approach.

Background: To clinically and radiologically evaluate the relationship between the facial nerve and the lateral semicircular canal during posterior tympanotomy.

Methods: Patients who received cochlear implants between 2010 and 2020 were included in the study. The relationship between the facial nerve and the lateral semicircular canal was classified into 3 types by evaluating the axial section computed tomography images.

Prognostic role of neutrophil lymphocyte ratio and mean platelet volume in Bell's palsy: Comparison of diabetic and non-diabetic patients.

Objectives: A low Neutrophil Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) has been shown to be associated with good prognosis in Bell's Palsy (BP). However, the effect of chronic diseases that may affect the NLR, including Diabetes Mellitus (DM), has not been clarified in this context. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between NLR and Mean Platelet Volume (MPV) in BP according to whether it is accompanied by DM, and their relationship with prognosis.
