Do Decreased Mastoid Pneumatization, Bilateral Involvement and Eustachian Tube Function Affect the Success of Type 1 Tympanoplasty?

Aim: The surgical success rate of tympanoplasty appears to be influenced by a number of variables. Eustachian tube dysfunction has been shown as one of the factors causing failure in tympanoplasty. It is known that bilateral disease and decreased in mastoid pneumatization are associated with Eustachian tube (ET) dysfunction.

Effect of Supporting Anterior Tympanomeatal Angle with Temporofacial Graft in Type 1 Tympanoplasty on Hearing Results and Graft Success in Early Period.

The treatment of persistent tympanic membrane perforation is tympanoplasty. Presence of perforation in the anterior annulus of the patients undergoing tympanoplasty surgery is a commonly encountered problem in the postoperative period. In this study, we investigated the effects of supporting anterior tympanomeatal angle with a secondary layer of temporal muscle fascia graft in the patients undergoing type 1 tympanoplasty on postoperative hearing outcomes and early graft success.

Adenotonsillar Hypertrophy: The Relationship Between Obstruction Type and Attention in Children.

We aimed to investigate the attention function, which is a parameter of cognitive functions, at different obstruction types (adenoid and tonsil hypertrophy, adenoid hypertrophy only, tonsillar hypertrophy only, and normal) of oral cavity and nasopharynx, and the relationship between obstruction level, type, and attention (N = 80). To evaluate attention function, Stroop test has been performed. Eighteen-item Quality of Life (OSA-18) and Brouillette Symptom Score questionnaires have been completed with each child's parents.

Histopathological changes of parotid and larynx in hypothyroid rats: experimental study.

Objectives: In this study, we aimed to investigate the laryngeal and parotid histopathological alterations in rats with experimentally induced postnatal hypothyroidism.

Materials And Methods: 200-300 g weighed Wistar albino rats were included in this study. The rats were randomly divided into four groups: group 1 is control and the other groups are experimental groups.
