Objectives: Occurrence of invasive fungal respiratory superinfections in patients with COVID-19 has gained increasing attention in the latest studies. Yet, description of acute invasive fungal sinusitis with its management in those patients is still scarce. This study aims to describe this recently increasing clinical entity in relation to COVID-19 patients.

Comparison between the endoscopic scores of bolgerization versus partial resection of the middle turbinate for management of the postoperative lateralization in the early follow-up period after endoscopic frontal sinusotomy: A randomized controlled study.

Background: Frontal sinusotomy is a challenging procedure that needs meticulous handling due to its unique anatomical position. Postoperative middle turbinate lateralization is critical comorbidity for the success rate, and many techniques are adopted to prevent it. The study aimed to compare the effect of middle turbinate bolgerization and partial resection on the postoperative endoscopic scores and assess their impact on the middle meatus and the frontal recess outcome.

Design: A prospective cohort study.

Setting: Tertiary centre hospital.

The impact of bolgerization versus partial resection of the middle turbinate on frontal sinusotomy patency outcome: A randomised controlled study.

Objectives: This study aimed to compare the effects of middle turbinate resection vs bolgerization on the incidence of middle meatus synechia and their prognostic value on the patency outcomes after frontal sinusotomy.

Design: A randomised controlled study.

Setting: Tertiary centre hospital.

The preoperative radiological findings associated with failure of frontal sinusotomy: A prospective study.

Objectives: The study aimed to assess the association between the preoperative CT findings and the patency outcome of the frontal sinus after endoscopic frontal sinusotomy in the early follow-up period.

Design: A prospective cohort study.

Setting: Tertiary hospital centre.

Nasopharyngeal Angiofibroma Staging with a Novel Nominal Basis: An 18-Year Study in a Tertiary Center.

Objective: To develop a systematic method for anatomic mapping of juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (JNA) tumors to standardize communication, facilitate surgical planning, and convey prognosis.

Study Design: Retrospective cohort.

Setting: Tertiary referral center.

Leukocyte- and platelet-rich fibrin: a new graft material in endoscopic repair of spontaneous CSF leaks.

Background: Spontaneous CSF leak is a challenging condition, with frequent recurrences following attempted surgical closure. The selection of graft materials depends on the experience of the operating surgeon. Leukocyte- and platelet-rich fibrin (L-PRF) is a second-generation platelet concentrate that has currently invaded every surgical specialty.

Endoscopic enucleation of large jaw cysts: Promising outcomes.

Objective: To describe the endoscopic approach for management of large jaw cysts and assess the feasibility of endoscopic enucleation as well as analyze its outcome on a wide scale at Mansoura University Hospital MUH.

Methods: This prospective cohort study was done on 23 consecutive cases presenting with different types of large jaw cysts in the period from January 2013 to July 2016 at ENT Department, Mansoura University Hospital. All patients, (16 maxillary & 7 mandibular) cysts, were managed endoscopically.

Endoscopic bilateral congenital choanal atresia repair of 112 cases, evolving concept and technical experience.

Objective: This study aims to present 18 years' experience with endoscopic treatment of bilateral congenital choanal atresia as regard to management concept, surgical technique, results, pitfalls, and complications.

Patients And Methods: A retrospective study including 112 cases of bilateral congenital choanal atresia, treated at Mansoura University Hospital endoscopically in the period from January 1998 to March 2015. As far as we know, this is the largest study group on transnasal endoscopic choanal atresia repair in literature.

Endoscopic management of spontaneous CSF rhinorrhea with septal graft and middle turbinate rotational flap technique: a review of 31 cases.

Spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) rhinorrhea poses a major challenge to rhinologists. Much controversy attends its cause, pathophysiology, management, and prognosis. It has been suggested that endoscopic placement of a septal graft with a middle turbinate rotational flap may represent the ideal approach to closing skull base defects.

Single flap with three pedicles, bone paté and split-thickness skin graft for immediate mastoid obliteration after canal wall down mastoidectomy.

Our objective was to evaluate single flap with three pedicles, bone paté and split-thickness skin graft for mastoid cavity obliteration after canal wall down mastoidectomy done for chronic suppurative otitis media and its efficacy in producing a small and dry mastoid cavity. Over a period of 7 years (2003-2010), 100 consecutive procedures in 100 patients with chronic suppurative otitis media were performed at the Mansoura University Hospital (Egypt) with a minimum follow-up of 12 months (range 12-72 months). All patients had canal wall down mastoidectomy with simultaneous tympanoplasty.
