Comparison of transnasal and transoral routes of microdebrider combined curettage adenoidectomy and assessment of endoscopy for residue: a randomized prospective study.

Purpose: The aim of this study is to investigate the frequency and locations of residual adenoid tissue in conventional curettage adenoidectomy (CA) via transnasal endoscopic examination at the end of the operation and to determine the most appropriate technique for residual adenoid tissue removal by transoral or transnasal microdebrider usage.

Methods: Sixty-three patients aged 4-12 years who were scheduled for CA were included in this randomized prospective study in a tertiary reference center. Patients who underwent CA had the endoscopic residual tissue exploration at the end of surgery.

Which one is favorable in the elderly? Transoral rigid laryngoscopy or transnasal flexible fiberoptic laryngoscopy.

Purpose: To determine whether transoral rigid laryngeal endoscopy (TORLE) or transnasal flexible fiberoptic laryngoscopy (TNFFL) is more favorable for laryngeal endoscopic examination in the elderly population.

Methods: This randomized prospective study carried out in a tertiary reference center. TORLE or TNFFL were performed to patients who were over 65 years at their first visit according to randomization list.

Comparison of effects of baby shampoo vs. saline irrigation on endoscopic sinus surgery outcomes and quality of life.

Objective: Nasal irrigation is an important step of functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) postoperative care. This study was performed to compare the effects of diluted baby shampoo (BS) and normal saline solution (NSS) irrigation on patients' quality of life (QoL) and surgical outcomes after FESS.

Methods: This study included 77 patients who underwent FESS to treat chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps.

Evaluating the Effect of Infraorbital Region Taping Procedure on Patient Anxiety, Satisfaction, Edema, and Ecchymosis Level on Primary Septorhinoplasty.

Aim: This study aims to evaluate the effect of infraorbital region taping on patients' postoperative edema and ecchymosis, satisfaction levels, and anxiety during follow-up.

Methods: A total of 64 patients who underwent septorhinoplasty were included in this randomized controlled prospective study. According to the randomization list, the taping group's (TG) infraorbital region was taped with adhesive strips.

The effect of tacrolimus on facial nerve injury: Histopathological findings in a rabbit model.

Hypothesis: Tacrolimus helps healing of facial nerve injury.

Background: Positive effects of tacrolimus on axon regeneration and healing of injured peripheral nerves (eg. sciatic nerve) have been reported in the literature.
