OPTIMIZATION OF POWER-ASSISTED ADENOIDECTOMY IN CHILDREN USING SHAVER TIPS OF VARIOUS MODIFICATION.

Objective: The aim: To study the efficacy of surgical treatment of patients with adenoid vegetations by implementing a differential method for choosing a tip for endo-scopic power-assisted adenoidectomy in children depending on dentition.

Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: We investigated the presence of nasal air emissions in 127 children (2-12 years old) before and after the operation. We excluded 12 patients due to the presence of nasal air emission before the operation.

MODERN APPROACHES TO CHOOSING SHAVER BLADE FOR ENDOSCOPIC SURGERY OF THE NASOPHARYNX AND PARANASAL SINUSES USING 3D MODELING.

Objective: The aim: To determine the effectiveness of the use of 3D printed templates of shaver blades for choosing the optimal blade shape for endoscopic surgery of the nasopharynx and paranasal sinuses.

Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: The shaver blade templates with bending angles of 40º, 60º, 90º and 120° for powered endoscopic sinus surgery were made according to the manufacturer catalog using the Asiga 3D printer and Dental TOOTH material. There were examined 100 patients who underwent endoscopic powered sinus interventions (50 - adenoidectomy, and 50 - removal of the maxillary sinus cysts).

ANATOMICAL RATIONALE FOR CHOOSING A BLADE FOR POWER-ASSISTED ADENOIDECTOMY IN CHILDREN DEPENDING ON DENTITION.

Objective: The aim: To study the anatomic features of the facial skull structures in children of various ages depending on dentition.

Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: One hundred and forty-four children aged 2-12 years were divided into 4 groups depending on dentition. They underwent anthropometric measure¬ments during adenoidectomy.

PREVALENCE OF NASAL CARRIAGE OF METHICILLIN-RESISTANT STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS AMONG HEALTHCARE WORKERS IN THE DEPARTMENTS OF OTORINOLARYNGOLOGY AND DENTISTRY IN KYIV, UKRAINE.

Objective: The aim: To obtain the first estimates of the current prevalence of nasal carriage of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) among healthcare workers (HCWs) in the departments of Otorinolaryngology and Dentistry and to determine of genes virulence factors (Panton Valentine Leukocidine (PVL) genes).

Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: We performed a multicenter cross-sectional study. The susceptibility to antibiotics was determined by disk diffusion method according to the European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing.

Antimicrobial resistance of staphylococcus aureus causing of surgical site infections in ear, nose and throat surgery.

Objective: Introduction: Staphylococcus aureus is one of the major pathogens that causes of surgical site infection (SSI). Scant information is available on the occurrence and antimicrobial susceptibility of S. aureus in patients with SSI in Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) surgery.
