Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare the outcome of submucous resection and combined submucous diathermy with outfracture technique in treatment of nasal obstruction caused by inferior turbinate hypertrophy.
Methods: This study is a prospective randomized clinical trial involving 90 patients with hypertrophied inferior turbinate not responding to medical treatment. All patients were selected with equal or near equal mucosal and bony turbinate components using computed tomography (CT) and then randomly allocated into two groups; group A (n = 45): underwent submucous resection in both sides and group B (n = 45): underwent combined submucous diathermy and outfracture in both sides. Subjective (NOSE score) and objective (4-grades endoscopic classification system and PNIF evaluation) measures of nasal airflow were done preoperatively and postoperatively.
Results: Subjective assessment using NOSE scale proved that both techniques were effective in relieving nasal obstruction as it improved in both groups postoperatively compared to the preoperative data. However, resection technique was better than diathermy technique with a statistically significant difference (p < 0.05), while objective assessment of nasal obstruction showed better results in resection group than diathermy group, but with no statistically significant difference.
Conclusion: Both techniques are effective in relief of nasal obstruction due to inferior turbinate hypertrophy. However, submucous resection showed marked improvement compared to diathermy technique especially at long-term follow-up.

Objectives: To compare longitudinal improvement in nasal obstruction quality-of-life outcomes between medial flap turbinoplasty (MFT) and inferior turbinate submucous resection (SMR) concurrently performed with functional septorhinoplasty.
Methods: Retrospective review of a prospectively collected cohort of patients undergoing functional septorhinoplasty between 2015 and 2022 at a tertiary academic center. Outcomes were assessed using the Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation (NOSE) questionnaire preoperatively and over 12 months postoperatively.

In imaging spectroscopy, gathering oral tissue spectral data from resected samples may not accurately represent tissue signatures due to time-dependent changes, blood loss, protein degeneration, and preservation chemicals. In-vivo spectral imaging is employed to address these limitations, but it poses challenges like device dimensions, tissue accessibility, and motion artifacts, impacting data quality and reliability. Our study publishes a dataset of spectral images focusing on oral diseases, addressing these challenges.

Objectives: This study aims to compare outcomes of endoscopic submucosal resection Turbinoplasty and partial inferior turbinectomy in the treatment of Chronic inferior turbinate hypertrophy.
Methods: A randomized prospective comparative study was conducted on 40 patients who complained of a minimum 3-month duration of nasal obstruction combined with clinical findings of moderate to severe inferior turbinate hypertrophy. Patients were divided into two groups: Group A (Endoscopic submucosal resection Turbinoplasty), and Group B (partial inferior turbinectomy) Which included 20 patients in each group.

Article Synopsis
- - Smooth Muscle Tumor of Uncertain Malignant Potential (STUMP) is a rare tumor that doesn't fit the typical definitions of benign (leiomyoma) or malignant (leiomyosarcoma), and its symptoms can mimic benign conditions without specific markers for diagnosis.
- - A case study of a 42-year-old woman illustrates the diagnosis and treatment of STUMP; she initially underwent surgery for what was thought to be a benign leiomyoma, and post-surgery, histopathology revealed it was actually a STUMP, yet she is recurrence-free after 9 months.
- - Managing STUMP requires a tailored strategy that involves various medical fields, taking into account the patient's future fertility plans, as well as addressing the
