Empty nose syndrome (ENS) is a rare complication of sinonasal surgery which characterized by the paradoxical sensation nasal obstruction despite widely patent cavity [1, 2]. ENS debilitating condition that has negative physical and psychological impacts on quality life [3]. Several studies found no significant association between turbinate resection development [4, 5]. Notably, there paucity data examining more extensive [6]. The study aims to assess extended approach maxillary sinus...
Abstract COVIDTrach is a UK multidisciplinary collaborative project that aims to evaluate the outcomes of tracheostomy in COVID-19 patients. An invitation participate an online survey tool (REDCap) was disseminated all NHS departments involved mechanically ventilated Fifty-two percent (n=219/465) patients who had undergone and were still alive, been successfully weaned from mechanical ventilation at point completing survey. The cause in-hospital mortality following 12% (n=62/530), with 3%...
A 33-year-old man developed profound sudden onset right-sided hearing loss with tinnitus and vertigo, within 24 h of pretravel rabies vaccination. There was no history upper respiratory tract infection, systemic illness, ototoxic medication or trauma, normal otoscopic examination. Pure tone audiograms (PTA) demonstrated sensorineural (thresholds 90-100 dB) left-sided hearing. MRI internal acoustic meatus, viral serology (hepatitis B, C, HIV cytomegalovirus) syphilis screen were normal....
Objectives: To assess and compare the face (FV) content validity (CV) of three ex vivo animal models for simulation training in pediatric laryngotracheal reconstruction (LTR). Methods: Feasibility performing LTR was assessed on head neck different animals (lamb/suckling-pig/rabbit) laryngeal dimensions qualitative observations were recorded. A 19-item five-point Likert scale questionnaire completed each model to FV CV. Data prospectively collected analyzed using descriptive nonparametric...
Abstract Objective Comparing the feasibility of ovine and synthetic temporal bones for simulating endoscopic ear surgery against ‘gold standard’ human cadaveric tissue. Methods A total 10 candidates (5 trainees 5 experts) performed tympanoplasty on 3 models: Pettigrew bones, bones. Candidates completed a questionnaire assessing face validity, global content validity task-specific each model. Results Regarding bone median values were 4 (interquartile range = 4–4) validity. For bone, 3.5...
Abstract Objective The completion of a laser safety course remains core surgical curriculum requirement for otolaryngologists training in the UK. This project aimed to develop comprehensive utilising both technical and non-technical skills simulation. Methods Otolaryngology trainees consultants from West Scotland Deanery attended 1-day comprising lectures, two high-fidelity simulation scenarios safe use practice. Results course, particular training, received excellent feedback otolaryngology...
This study measured the effectiveness of an in-house designed, cast silicone airway model in addressing lack easily accessible, validated transoral laser microsurgery simulation models. Participants performed resection two marked vocal fold lesions on model. The underwent face, content and construct validation assessment using a five-point Likert scale questionnaire measuring mean time for each lesion completeness excision. Comparative analyses were these measures. Thirteen otolaryngologists...
Abstract Objective To perform a validation assessment of novel porcine ex vivo model for otoplasty training. Methods A total nine otolaryngology trainees performed standard approach on ear. They completed series tasks including posterior skin incision, anterior scoring, Mustardé suture placement and concha–mastoid placement. Trainees post-task questionnaire assessing face validity, global content validity task-specific validity. Results Trainees’ median scores the were: 4 (interquartile...
Abstract Background Coronavirus disease 2019 was declared a pandemic on 11th March 2020. All non-urgent surgical procedures have been postponed indefinitely. The British Association of Head and Neck Oncology state that only those with treatable head neck cancer unsuitable for alternative treatment should undergo surgery. This paper details our management patient who tested positive severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 days before curative surgery laryngeal cancer. Case report By...
Objectives: 1) Explore developments in endoscopic techniques and their application the management of Sinonasal Inverted Papilloma (SNIP). 2) Describe 0% recurrence rates with aggressive resection complex SNIP. Methods: Retrospective single‐center patient cohort analysis twenty‐one cases SNIP treated by at Charing Cross Hospital from December 2002 to September 2012. Pre‐operative assessment included tomography or magnetic resonance imaging biopsies. The origin extent tumor determined surgical...
Allergic rhinitis (AR) is one the most common immunologic conditions affecting adults. Its prevalence has increased over last few decades and varies between 10-40% depending on geographical location, with up to 25% of Canadians being affected. It defined as an IgE-mediated inflammatory process nasal mucosa in a previously sensitised individual.2 When atopic patient exposed allergen, develops specific IgE antibodies which become bound mast cells. Re-exposure this allergen results two distinct...
