The clinical outcomes of using a new cross-linked hyaluronan gel in endoscopic frontal sinus surgery.

In endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) synechiae formation and ostial stenosis are frequently encountered. This is not uncommon after frontal recess and ostium interventions due to the narrow recess and difficult anatomy of the region. The goal of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of the new cross-linked hyaluronan gel-PureRegen Gel Sinus-on wound healing and synechiae prevention in endoscopic frontal sinus surgery.

Isolated intraosseous lipoma of the ethmoid sinus.

Intraosseous lipoma is an extremely rare variant of lipoma. It is most commonly found in the appendicular skeleton and only very rarely in skull base. We present a 38-year-old male patient who was admitted to our clinic with the symptoms of nasal obstruction and headache.

Can mucosal sealing reduce tonsillectomy pain?

Objective/hypothesis: The hypothesis tests whether sealing the tonsillectomy field with posterior pillar mucosa can prevent unwanted outcomes in pediatric tonsillectomy.

Study Design: A prospective, randomized, single blinded study was conducted on a sample of 39 children between 3 and 15 years of age. After dissection and snare tonsillectomy, the tonsillar fossa was covered on one side using the palatopharyngus mucosa and the other side is used as control.

Viability of crushed and diced cartilage grafts: a study in rabbits.

Objective: To investigate the effects of dicing and different degrees of crushing on cartilage graft viability and outcome in rhinoplasty.

Methods: Cartilage was harvested from both ears of 29 rabbits. For each animal, 6 cartilage pieces were prepared as follows and inserted into the paraspinal subcutaneous tissue: (1) left intact, (2) diced to approximately 1 x 1-mm pieces and then wrapped in oxidized regenerated cellulose, (3) slightly crushed, (4) moderately crushed, (5) significantly crushed, and (6) severely crushed.
