Salvage Endoscopic Nasopharyngectomy for Recurrent Nasopharyngeal Cancer: an Institutional Experience.

Objective: This study aims to present the surgical and oncological long-term outcomes of patients with locally recurrent nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) following endoscopic endonasal nasopharyngectomy (EEN).

Methods: The medical records of 11 patients who underwent EEN due to recurrent NPC were retrospectively reviewed.

Results: The mean age of the patient cohort, consisting of 10 males (90.

Sandwich graft technique outcomes in medium and large size nasal septal perforations.

Introduction: Surgical treatment of medium and large sized nasal septal perforation is challenging. Techniques with and without interposition grafts are used.

Objective: The aim of this study is to explain how we apply the sandwich graft technique that we use in medium and large nasal septal perforations as well as to present the results.

Acute invasive fungal rhinosinusitis: our experience with 19 patients.

Acute invasive fungal rhinosinusitis (AIFR) is a potentially fatal infection that affects immunocompromised patients. Early diagnosis and treatment, including aggressive surgical debridement, antifungal medication, and correction of underlying predisposing factors are essential for recovery. The aim of this study was to review our experience with AIFR.

Comparison of two endoscopic examination methods, the Muller maneuver and fiberoptic pharyngoscopy during sleep, in patients with obstructive sleep apnea.

Objectives: This study was designed to compare two endoscopic examination methods, the Muller maneuver (MM) and fiberoptic pharyngoscopy during sleep, both of which are used to detect obstructed segments in patients with obstructive sleep apnea.

Patients And Methods: The study included 28 patients (23 males, 5 females; mean age 44.6 years; range 28 to 59 years) who underwent uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP) for snoring or obstructive sleep apnea.

Body fat composition: a predictive factor for obstructive sleep apnea.

Objective: To investigate body fat composition, measured by bioelectrical impedance assay (BIA), for predicting the presence and severity of obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS). Body fat composition was also compared with other well-known OSAHS predictors such as body mass index (BMI), neck circumference, and abdominal visceral fat.

Study Design: A prospective study was designed.
