A prospective study was performed on 106 patients undergoing routine nasal surgery to compare the influence of three different packing methods on the final outcome. Pneumatic balloons were found to cause persistent nasal obstruction and an increased incidence of adhesion formation, while lubricated ribbon gauze was more uncomfortable for the patient. Glove finger packs were associated with the least problems.

Multidimensional characterization of craniofacial skeletal phenotype of obstructive sleep apnea in adults.
Eur J Orthod
December 2024
Professor, Department of Orthodontics, School of Dentistry, Kyung Hee University, Seoul 02453, Republic of Korea.
Objectives: We aimed to characterize a craniofacial skeletal phenotype (CSP) of adult obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients from a multidimensional perspective, exploring the impact of transverse skeletal discrepancy (TSD) on multivariable polysomnographic profiles.
Materials And Methods: This retrospective, cross-sectional study included 102 adult OSA patients. Sagittal, vertical, and transverse skeletal patterns were categorized on the cone beam computed tomography images.
Evaluation of cortical bone thickness at the nasomaxillary and zygomaticomaxillary buttresses using cone-beam computed tomography imaging for Le Fort I osteotomy.

School of Dentistry, China Medical University, Taichung, Taiwan.
Background/purpose: Studies have indicated that 50%-55% of the population have malocclusion, and approximately 5%-10% require orthognathic surgery to correct this condition. Optimal placement of plates and screws significantly affects the success rate of the surgery and postoperative stability. This study evaluates the cortical thickness of the maxillary bone in the nasomaxillary and zygomaticomaxillary buttress regions in Taiwanese patients based on cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images.

Section of Anesthesiology, Department of Diagnostics and General Care, Fukuoka Dental College, Fukuoka, JPN.
Objective: Two-jaw surgery corrects jaw deformities by adjusting occlusion and reshaping the jaw. This technique carries a high risk of pharyngolaryngeal injury due to frequent head and neck movements during intraoperative maneuvers and prolonged intubation, although the details remain unclear. This study explored the frequency and causes of postoperative pharyngeal complications following maxillary translocation.

Relationship between serum ECP and TIgE levels and the risk of postoperative recurrence in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps.

Department of Otolaryngology, Pei County People's Hospital, Xuzhou, Jiangsu, China.
Objective: This study was undertaken to assess the association between the likelihood of surgical recurrence and serum ECP and TIgE levels in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP).
Methodology: Clinical information was gathered retrospectively from 166 cases of surgically treated CRSwNP as well as 60 cases of chronic rhinosinusitis without nasal polyps (CRSsNP). A comparative analysis on serum levels of total immunoglobulin E (TIgE) and eosinophil cationic protein (ECP) was carried out between the two groups.
