Critical examination of the quality and validity available allergic rhinitis (AR) literature is necessary to improve understanding appropriately translate this knowledge clinical care AR patient. To evaluate existing literature, international multidisciplinary experts with an interest in have produced International Consensus statement on Allergy Rhinology: Allergic Rhinitis (ICAR:AR).Using previously described methodology, specific topics were developed relating AR. Each topic was assigned a...
Abstract Objectives/Hypothesis: Eustachian tube dysfunction (ETD) is a common condition that associated with otologic and rhinologic symptoms. The complete assessment of ETD limited without valid symptom score. We developed conducted initial validation the seven‐item Tube Dysfunction Questionnaire (ETDQ‐7), disease‐specific instrument to assess symptoms respect ETD. Study Design: Validation study. Methods: ETDQ‐7 was using standard survey methodology. completed by group 50 consecutive adult...
Endoscopic skull base surgery (ESBS) is considered a minimally-invasive surgical modality with less morbidity and patient discomfort. Quality-of-life (QOL) assessments provide patient-reported estimate of well-being that may be clinically relevant. Although the sinonasal tract integral to ESBS, change in sinonasal-related QOL ESBS has not been well studied. The aim this study was prospectively assess before after using validated outcome measures.Consecutive adult patients undergoing for...
Endoscopic skull base surgery (ESBS) is a minimal-access technique that provides an alternative to traditional approaches. Patient-reported outcomes are becoming increasingly important in measuring the success of surgical interventions. may lead improvements quality life (QOL) since natural orifices used reach pathology; however, sinonasal QOL be negatively affected. The purpose this study was assess impact ESBS on both site-specific QOL, using Anterior Skull Base Questionnaire (ASBQ), and...
Abstract Background: Eustachian tube dysfunction (ETD) is a common condition without an effective, accepted treatment. Balloon dilation tuboplasty (BDET) has been recently proposed for the management of ETD. Previous studies function and treatment have not included validated assessment patient symptoms. We report first time outcomes BDET using disease‐specific symptom score, 7‐item Tube Dysfunction Questionnaire (ETDQ‐7). Methods: Consecutive patients undergoing were prospectively enrolled...
Object This study details the extent of resection and complications associated with endonasal endoscopic surgery for pituitary tumors invading cavernous sinus (CS) using a moderately aggressive approach to maximize through medial CS wall while minimizing risk cranial neuropathy blood loss. Tumor in was aggressively pursued tumor lateral debulked preparation radiosurgery. Methods A prospective surgical database consecutive surgeries verified invasion on intraoperative visual inspection...
Objective To develop a clinical consensus statement on the use of balloon dilation eustachian tube (BDET). Methods An expert panel otolaryngologists was assembled with nominated representatives general otolaryngology and relevant subspecialty societies. The target population adults 18 years or older who are candidates for BDET because obstructive dysfunction (OETD) in 1 both ears 3 months longer that significantly affects quality life functional health status. A modified Delphi method used...
Pituitary adenomas are well suited to resection by a minimal-access endoscopic technique. Validation of this approach requires prospective outcome studies determine the impact on quality life (QOL). This study aims assess effect pituitary adenoma site-specific and sinonasal-related QOL before after surgery using validated instruments.Consecutive adult patients undergoing endonasal were prospectively enrolled from single tertiary care center. All completed Anterior Skull Base Questionnaire...
OBJECT Craniopharyngiomas are benign parasellar tumors for which surgical removal, although potentially curative, often leads to morbidity with resulting decreases in quality of life (QOL). The endonasal endoscopic approach is a minimal-access technique removing these and may reduce postoperative morbidity. QOL following this method resection craniopharyngiomas has not been documented. METHODS authors reviewed database consecutive surgeries done at Weill Cornell Medical College. Adult...

Objectives Polypoid change of the middle turbinate (PCMT) is a finding on intranasal examination whose significance not well understood. We present comparison clinical characteristics PCMT with paranasal sinus polyposis (PSP), common condition potentially similar appearance. Study Design Parallel case series. Setting Tertiary rhinology clinic. Subjects and Methods Data were prospectively compiled from consecutive patients during 12‐month period either PSP arising meatus or limited to as...
Background Endoscopic skull‐base surgery (ESBS) is a minimal access approach to cranial base pathology; however, it significantly disrupts the intranasal mucosa and structures, long‐term effects of which are still being studied. We prospectively assessed postoperative changes in sinonasal QOL symptoms following ESBS. Methods Eighty‐five patients were with Anterior Skull Base Questionnaire (ASBQ), validated instrument, preoperatively up 1 year postoperatively at each subsequent office visit....
Background Total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) has been proposed as a method to reduce blood loss during endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS). Impaired sinonasal visualization due mucosal bleeding may be burdensome in cases of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) with high‐grade inflammatory disease, suggesting role for TIVA that disease subgroup. Methods A double‐blind, randomized controlled trial was conducted adults undergoing ESS at tertiary medical center. Patients considered inclusion had CRS...
We identify chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) manifestations associated with how rhinologists assess CRS control, a focus on patient perspectives (patient-reported control).Fifteen were provided real-world data from 200 patients. Participating first classified patients' control as "controlled," "partly controlled," and "uncontrolled" using seven reflecting European Position Paper Rhinosinusitis Nasal Polyps (EPOS) criteria (nasal obstruction, drainage, impaired smell, facial pain/pressure, sleep...
