Objective: Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) for chronic rhinosinusitis is considered safe and is widely performed. Techniques and devices for this type of surgery have recently been updated. The purpose of this study was to describe the proportions of complications after FESS (2013-2017) and to compare the results with those from our previous study (2007-2013).
Methods: We obtained data on 70,288 patients who underwent FESS from April 2013 to March 2017 from a Japanese national inpatient database. We classified FESS into four types: single sinus surgery (ESS Type 2), multiple sinus surgery (ESS Type 3), whole sinus surgery (ESS Type 4), and extensive sinus surgery (ESS Type 5). We investigated the proportions of complications after FESS, including cerebrospinal fluid leakage, meningitis, orbital injury, severe hemorrhage, and toxic shock syndrome. We performed a multivariable logistic regression analysis with adjustment for within-hospital clustering to evaluate the association between the occurrence of overall complications and patient characteristics.
Results: The proportion of overall complications was 0.50%. The proportions of patients with cranial complications, orbital complications, hemostasis operations, blood transfusion, and toxic shock syndrome were 0.11%, 0.04%, 0.05%, 0.30%, and 0.03%, respectively. The extent of FESS was not associated with the occurrence of overall complications. The occurrence of overall complications was associated with the severity of comorbidities and the academic hospital status. Asthma and use of a microdebrider were associated with a lower occurrence of overall complications.
Conclusion: The proportion of overall complications after FESS in the present study was similar to that reported in our previous study. The extent of FESS and eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis were not associated with the occurrence of overall complications.

Background: In patients with structurally normal hearts, algorithms using surface electrocardiographic P-wave morphology are helpful to predict focal atrial tachycardia (FAT) location. However, these algorithms have not been formally assessed in patients with adult congenital heart disease (ACHD).
Objectives: This study sought to assess the efficacy of FAT-location prediction algorithms in an adult population of patients with ACHD.

We report on a fatal case of invasive fungal rhinosinusitis with after lung transplantation. After endoscopic treatment and adjuvant medical therapy with isavuconazole, caspofungin and an investigational antifungal drug, there was a good clinical response with absence of endoscopic and radiographic disease. However, the patient developed disease recurrence, with signs of intracranial involvement on MRI, for which urgent endoscopic sinus surgery was performed and isavuconazole was restarted.

Methicillin-resistant (MRSA) osteomyelitis of the maxilla is a rare condition in paediatric patients, with limited evidence available for optimal treatment protocols. We present the case of a paediatric patient in the early childhood age group with post-traumatic maxillary osteomyelitis caused by MRSA. The child developed facial swelling following trauma, and imaging revealed maxillary sinus wall thickening and bone erosions.

Purpose: Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common autosomal recessive disorder in the Caucasian population. Otolaryngological manifestations pose a significant impact on the quality of life of children with CF. The primary aim of this review is to provide a state of the art update of current literature on the otolaryngological manifestations of CF in children.

Introduction And Importance: Restoring lost teeth in the posterior atrophic maxilla presents a significant challenge due to insufficient bone volume for implant placement. Simultaneous implant placement during lateral sinus lift is often considered, but the decision is typically based on the amount of existing bone. The aim of this study was to investigate the feasibility of simultaneous implant placement and maxillary sinus floor augmentation in the atrophic posterior maxilla using autogenous bone ring.
