During COVID-19 pandemic, clinicians have had to deal with an ever-increasing number of cases olfactory disturbances after SARS-CoV-2 infections and in some people this problem persisted for long time negativization from virus. This a prospective randomized controlled trial aims at evaluating the efficacy ultramicronized palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) Luteolin (LUT) (umPEA-LUT) training (OT) compared OT alone treatment smell disorders Italian post-COVID population. We included patients loss...
Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is an invasive, aggressive tumor with a predominantly local spread. The objective of this study was to assess thoracic ultrasound (TUS) as imaging modality high sensitivity for the identification malignant involvement and in order guide biopsies.In retrospective single-center between January 2018 June 2022, 51 consecutive patients impassable circumferential thickening underwent TUS at Thoracic Surgery Unit Vanvitelli University Naples. Pleural biopsies...
The growing understanding of cancer biology and the establishment new treatment modalities has not yielded expected results in terms survival for Laryngeal Squamous Cell Cancer (LSCC). Early diagnosis, as well prompt identification patients with high risk relapse would ensure greater chance therapeutic success. However, this goal remains a challenge due to absence specific biomarkers neoplasm.
The aim of this study is to identify certain parapharyngeal space tumours with specific characteristics that can be treated successfully through an endoscopically assisted transoral approach (EATA).Nine patients PPS underwent surgery EATA between 2003 and 2021. All clinical examination fibrolaryngoscopy. Preoperative CT and/or MRI was performed on all patients.All the were approach. Histological revealed five pleomorphic adenomas, two schwannomas, one ectopic thyroid gland lipoma. only...
Objective: The objective of our study was to compare experience intracapsular tonsillotomy performed with the help a microdebrider usually used for adenoidectomy results obtained from extracapsular surgery through dissection and in cases people affected OSAS, linked adeno-tonsil hypertrophy, observed treated last 5 years. Methods: 3127 children adenotonsillar hyperplasia OSAS-related clinical symptoms (aged between 3 12 years) underwent tonsillectomy and/or adenoidectomy. A total 1069...
Background: Given that the temporal bone is one of most complex regions human body, cadaveric dissection this anatomical area represents first necessary step for learning and training young oto-surgeon in order to perform middle ear surgery, which includes management inflammatory pathology, hearing rehabilitation, also cognitive decline prevention surgery. The primary objective study was identify common mistakes critical passages during initial steps dissection, specifically cortical...
Background: Descending necrotizing mediastinitis (DNM) is a life-threatening condition, generally caused by downward dissemination of oropharyngeal infections through cervical fascial planes. Mediastinal drainage conventionally achieved thoracotomy, but Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS) approach gaining interest due to the reduced invasiveness procedure. We aimed evaluate effectiveness VATS treatment in patients with DNM. Methods: conducted retrospective multicenter study including...
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....
Abstract Introduction Central airway tumors involving the trachea and main‐stem bronchi are a common cause of obstruction significant mortality among patients thoracic diseases with respiratory failure. Debulking in rigid bronchoscopy is quick, safe, effective. It can be complex hard severe bronchial or tracheal and/or intraluminal bleeding because inadequate distal control. We have used laser tube as new technique ventilation for central obstruction. Materials Methods Forty‐six undergoing...
Extracapsular dissection (ECD) was introduced for the removal of superficial and small benign parotid tumors. According to a recent proposal, ECD is reserved tumors that are 3 cm or less, mobile, close borders in cases pleomorphic adenoma. The aim study evaluate effectiveness treatment also were larger than deeper. All neoplasms conducted between 2007 2017 reviewed. lesions included limited primary categorized by Quer proposal. Facial nerve monitoring used all cases. palsy local recurrences...
The Glasgow Benefit Inventory (GBI) is a generic patient recorded outcome measure assessing the quality of life patients undergoing ear nose and troth surgery. Although largely used in clinical practice, it has never been adapted validated Italian language. aim study was to translate original GBI from English examine its reliability for use adult population endonasal endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy. After translation back-translation we evaluated 79 adults dacryocystorhinostomies....
We describe our experience with long process incus (LPI) necrosis in revision stapedotomy and discuss the different management methods proposed literature to identify surgical techniques that can lead satisfactory results over time.Twenty-two revisions, 21 patients of incus, are performed from 1997 2017. In cases erosion or minimal LPI, a new prosthesis same type an angled was applied higher on residual stump. partial Donaldson ventilation tube reshaped placed stump stabilize prosthesis,...
Introduction: Surgical treatment of patients with far-advanced otosclerosis (FAO) has not yet been standardized. Patients FAO are the candidates for stapes surgery or cochlear implant (CI). Although many surgeons consider as first choice, other authors prefer CI because excellent hearing results. Objective: The discuss their experience in FAO, potentially CI, who underwent stapedotomy. Materials and Methods: Eleven adult stapedotomy from 2006 to 2016. Pure-tone average (PTA) between...
Controversies have recently arisen regarding post-operative haemorrhagic complications in relation to the surgical procedures adopted for tonsillectomy. The authors set out verify relationship between techniques and haemorrhage based on analysis of data derived from multi-centric studies.
Abstract Background Persistent air leak (PAL) is a common complication after video‐assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) lobectomy. We aimed to evaluate whether the intraoperative quantitative measurement of leaks using mechanical ventilation test could predict PAL and identify those patients needing additional treatment for prevention PAL. Methods This was an observational, retrospective, single‐center study that included 82 who underwent VATS lobectomy with VL. Only 2% had persistent...
BACKGROUND:Masson's tumor, also known as IPEH (intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia), is a rare benign vascular process, comprising approximately 2% of tumors the skin and subcutaneous tissue. presenting neck mass rare, with only 5 reports anterior 7 cases lateral lesions, which 1 was in an external jugular vein aneurysm. To best our knowledge, localization intravascular hyperplasia supraclavicular region rarely reported. CASE REPORT:We describe management non-traumatic...
Objective 1) Ascertain the impact that guidelines on (adeno)‐tonsillectomy have had clinical behavior of ENT specialists in Italy. 2) Evaluate indications—inclusion criteria—for adeno‐tonsillar surgery children, adopted by specialists, particularly referring to comorbidities. Method A multicentric study including 14770 children undergoing 2002, 2004, 2006, and 2008 was conducted 14 Italian otorhinolaryngological units.
