The aim of the study was to assess effectiveness CO(2) laser endoscopic surgery in treatment glottic carcinoma limited true vocal cords or involving adjacent regions.Seven hundred nineteen patients (687 men and 32 women; mean age, 60.4 years; range, 33-86 years) with (432 T1N0M0, 236 T2N0M0, 51 T3N0M0) underwent (mean follow-up, 5 2-17 years). Statistical comparison carried out Wilcoxon test, considering p < .05 minimum significance value.Overall actuarial survival, adjusted percentage no...
This research aims at reporting the results of endoscopic treatment glottic carcinomas by CO2 laser. The cases cited concern 516 patients with T1-T2-T3 carcinomas. have been divided into 5 groups: a) T1a: 194 monolateral carcinoma involving true vocal cord who underwent simple cordectomy; b) T2a: 104 cordal ventricle and false cord; c) T1b: 127 or bilateral anterior commissure; d) these T2b: 54 commissure extending to hypoglottic supraglottic region; in a extended cordectomy was performed;...
Abstract Background. The aim of the study was to evaluate effectiveness endoscopic CO 2 laser microsurgery in management supraglottic cancer. Methods. One hundred twenty‐four patients (116 men and eight women; mean age, 59 years; range 31–81 years) with cancer underwent surgery (mean follow‐up 5 years). were classified as follows: 45 patients, T1N0M0; 61 T2N0M0; 18 T3N0M0. According staging, following procedures adopted: epiglottectomy, resection aryepiglottic fold or false vocal cord T1...
Laryngeal dysplasia is a common clinical concern. Despite major advancements, significant number of patients with this condition progress to invasive squamous cell carcinoma. Osteopontin (OPN) secreted glycoprotein, whose expression markedly elevated in several types cancers. We explored OPN as candidate biomarker for laryngeal dysplasia. To aim, we examined 82 cases and hyperplastic normal tissue samples. was all severe samples, but not respect matched mucosa. levels correlated positively...
Several guidelines on adeno-tonsillar disease have been proposed in recent years and some discrepancies relation both to clinical manifestations indications for surgical treatment emerged. The aim of the study was verify what influence (adeno)-tonsillectomy had behaviour ENT specialists Italy. Our is a retrospective multi-centre case series with chart review.The survey involved 14,770 children, aged between ages 2 11, who undergone surgery 2002 2008 fourteen Italian tertiary secondary...
Occult cervical lymph node metastases may often be associated with cancers of the supraglottic larynx. The aims this investigation were: (1) to determine incidence occult in patients cancer larynx; (2) assess whether presence such was related extent primary tumor (T) and its grading (G); (3) discuss which therapeutic approach should followed treating clinically metastases. Our included 97 who underwent horizontal laryngectomy elective dissection. series considered 27%. Based on preoperative...
To define the perceptive and aerodynamic characteristics of esophageal voice in relation to different rehabilitation modalities.Cross-sectional study comparing variables 3 subject groups.Referral center.A total 19 subjects who underwent laryngectomy were divided into groups A B. Group consisted 13 (who required speech therapy)-8 good speakers (subset A(1) >80% intelligible) 5 mediocre A(2) <70% intelligible). B 6 with a tracheoesophageal prosthesis >90% intelligible).Perceptive included...
Otorhinolaryngologic manifestations are common in 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11.2DS), but poorly described. This study aimed to better define the ear‐nose‐throat (ENT) phenotype of 22q11.2DS patients, attempt best detect subjects requiring subspecialist intervention. We enrolled 25 patients affected with 22q11.2DS. Anatomic and functional ENT findings were investigated using clinical, laboratory, instrumental data. Immunophenotype frequency infections evaluated. Univariate multivariate...
This study aims at verifying relationships between the perception of medico-legal risks involved in professional activity Italian otolaryngologists, defensive medical behaviour and their understanding liability insurance matters civil liability. One hundred specialists replied to a questionnaire pertaining psychological impact issues specific queries regarding coverage, either privately stipulated or provided by employer. Statistic analysis was carried out χ(2) test ANOVA multiple variance...
The biological sealing (BS) around implants is a dominant factor to determine the long-term success of peri-implant health. There are several features BS in common with soft tissue attached teeth, such as presence crevicular fluid, acquired pellicle, epithelium; otherwise, quality weaker compared junctional epithelium natural teeth. Then, this article aimed describe three cases report showing (cuticle-crevice fluid-acquired pellicle) fixed crowns on dental anterior zone, through photographic...

Study Design: A double‐blind randomized multicenter trial 102 rhinitis who were treated LNIT for 8 consecutive months. Methods: After identifying allergens skin prick test sensitization threshold dose provocation test, selected, whom 55 to mites 47 Graminaceae or Parietaria pollen. The treatments...
Vocal results after endoscopic cordectomy have not yet been well defined. The aim of this study was to assess the vocal function patients who had undergone CO2 laser cordectomy.Retrospective, observational and control group study, conducted in a tertiary care medical department.One hundred thirty-five male (age range 36-83 years) underwent different types cordectomy. Forty age-matched, euphonic subjects were selected as controls. Patients classified according main site phonatory neo-glottis....
Abstract Hemangiomas are benign tumors originating in the vascular tissues of skin, mucosa, muscles, glands, and bones. Although these common lesions head neck, they rarely occur nasal cavity paranasal sinuses. Cavernous haemangioma lateral wall nasopharynx has not previously been reported. We examined clinical, radiological therapeutic management cavernous starting from a clinical case 26-year-old woman with history recurrent conspicuous epistaxis leftsided associated severe obstruction....
This study presents results obtained from 83 patients with bilateral vocal cord paralysis in adduction treated between 1982 to 2001, CO(2) laser microlaryngoscopy. In relation the different types of surgery followed, three distinct treatment groups were included: group 1 (1982-1984) included 5 vaporization process arytenoid and homolateral posterior third true cord. Group 2 (1983-1990) contained 19 who arytenoidectomy removal half 3 (1990-2001), including 59 or two thirds both false...
Four consecutive female patients (age: 14–47 years) with laryngeal amyloidosis, treated endoscopic CO 2 -laser surgery, entered the study. All underwent periodic microlaryngoscopies following surgery to confirm adequacy of surgical resection. Recurrences or suspected lesions were resected and fibrin deposits removed prevent formation synechiae healing adhesions. After two negative microlaryngoscopies, performed months apart, followed-up approximately every six over a period from 18 years, no...
Bone biomaterials have been increasingly used to reconstruct maxillary atrophic ridges. Thus, the aim of this study was evaluate bone reconstruction in maxilla using a homologous cortico-cancellous FFB (lyophilized) graft and verify its reliability. Eight individuals were included from 2014 2018. The first surgery performed install blocks maxilla. period second intervention varied between 5 months 15 days 11 (≈7.93 months). biopsies taken central region matured during for implant placement....
