A bibliometric analysis concluded that the evaluation of post-operative outcomes of endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy in Indonesia had yet to be done. Hence, this study aims to assess the postoperative outcomes of endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy, focusing on ostium granulation, intranasal synechiae, membranous obstruction, and ostium stenosis after a three-month follow-up in our Indonesian center. A longitudinal study (2017-2023) at our Indonesian center included cases with a minimum of three-month follow-up. Nasal endoscopy assessed ostium granulation, intranasal synechiae, membranous obstruction, and ostium stenosis. 28 cases were successfully followed up for three months. At three months, ostium granulation was present in 42.9% of cases, membranous obstruction in 14.3% of cases, with no intranasal synechiae or ostium stenosis observed. Out of 28 cases, 13 were successfully followed for six months, revealing ostium granulation in 7.7%, membranous obstruction in 38.5%, and ostium stenosis in 23.1%. Ostium granulation predominates, followed by membranous obstruction at three-month follow-up. Ostium stenosis, a minimal occurrence, manifests after six months.

Endovascular treatment of dural venous sinus stenosis using auto-expandable stents is progressively becoming a central part in the management of patients with idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) and pulsatile tinnitus. One potential concern during stenting is impairment of venous outflow in the Labbé vein, which usually drains in close proximity to the culprit transverse sinus stenosis. We propose a technique which can counteract venous outflow impairment, consisting of temporary balloon protection of the Labbé vein during stent deployment.

Outcome of Endoscopic Myringoplasty Using Gelfoam Versus no Gelfoam in Tympanic Cavity and External Auditory Canal.

Kathmandu Univ Med J (KUMJ)

September 2024

Department of ENT-HNS, Dhulikhel Hospital, Kathmandu University Hospital, Kathmandu University School of Medical Sciences, Dhulikhel, Kavre, Nepal.

Background Absorbable gelatin sponge (gelfoam) is used routinely during myringoplasty as a scaffold that supports tympanic membrane grafts and ossicular chain and to promote hemostasis. However, gelfoam could cause fibrosis, adhesions, granulations, new bone formation within the middle ear cavity and could obstruct the tympanic ostium of the eustachian tube and affects inner ear function and also interferes with the healing process of neodrum and middle ear cavity. Objective To compare the outcome of endoscopic myringoplasty with and without use of gelfoam in external auditory canal and tympanic cavity.

Chronic inflammatory process in the lacrimal drainage system is the main etiological factor leading to dacryostenosis and consequent obliteration - partial and total nasolacrimal duct obstruction. Prevention of this process is an urgent problem in dacryology. Currently, there is very little research on the development and use of conservative methods for treating dacryostenosis using anti-inflammatory, as well as anti-fibrotic drugs.

To evaluate the outcome and complications of Endoscopic endonasal Dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) using an inferiorly based mucosal flap as compared to a conventional posteriorly based mucosal flap with flap preservation and no stenting. 36 patients presenting with nasolacrimal duct obstruction were divided into two groups: the first group underwent endoscopic DCR using an inferiorly based mucosal flap, and the other group used a posteriorly based mucosal flap. In both groups, the mucosal flap was preserved, and bone was removed using Kerrison's punch.
