Conclusion: Hypertrophy of lingual tonsils can be safely and effectively managed by transoral robotic surgery via a minimally invasive approach. The operating costs relatively high although the advantages to patients seem justify procedure. Transoral represent definitive treatment in hypertrophy tonsils. Objective: purpose this work was assess feasibility, safety, outcomes for tonsillar adults with obstructive sleep apnea. Methods: Retrospective medical records six who underwent tongue base...

Conclusions. Successful canal wall down (CWD) mastoidectomy requires removal of all diseased air cells, lowering the facial ridge to mastoid segment nerve, complete lateral epitympanic wall, and amputation tip. Additionally, inferior should be lowered adequately expose hypotympanum, which allows a smooth transition into cavity. An adequate meatoplasty is also necessary. Closed supratubal recess opened, anulus tympanic membrane remnant removed in CWD cases. Revision has high success rate...

Objectives/Hypothesis Local and systemic steroid treatment is the mainstay of therapy for nasal polyposis. This study aims to evaluate safety effectiveness intrapolyp injection on polyposis compare outcomes with short‐term oral treatment. Study Design Prospective, randomized, controlled endoscopic clinical trial. Methods Ninety patients polyps were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio receive prednisolone 1 mg/kg/day, tapering by 5 mg/day, 2 weeks, or (40 mg/mL triamcinolone, mL) up five times...

Foreign bodies in maxillary sinuses are unusual clinical conditions, and they can cause chronic sinusitis by mucosal irritation. Most cases of foreign sinus related to iatrogenic dental manipulation only a few with non-dental origin reported. Oroantral fistulas secondary procedures the most common way insertion. Treatment is surgical removal body either endoscopically or combined approach, Caldwell-Luc procedure if endoscopic approach inadequate for visualisation. In this case, we present...

Transoral robotic-assisted lingual tonsillectomy seems to confirm good tolerability with efficient results in both adult and pediatric populations, the complication rate is usually dependent on specific procedure not related use of robotic techniques. In these clinical reports, a 44-year-old woman (patient 1) 49-year-old 2) were referred our clinic long-term complaints dysphagia, snoring, globus sensation. The patients diagnosed tonsillar hypertrophy, was performed through transoral surgery...

Osteomas are slow growing bony tumours of the paranasal sinuses. They usually asymptomatic but they may present with headache, cerebral symptoms, or visual disturbances, depending on their anotomical location. A computerized tomography scan is imaging modality that should be choosen for diagnosis osteomas. Radiographically, osteoid osteoma appears as an opaque lesion a nidus which has radioluscent center surrounded by dense sclerosis. If treatment indicated, external endoscopic approaches...

As the SARS-CoV-2 virus made a pandemic all over world, its transmission routes became significant. Transmission from human to is known, but other possible are not determined well.This study aimed reveal presence of in sweat.This prospective was conducted tertiary care education and training hospital. Fifty patients were included this study. Skin disinfection done with an alcohol-based solution. Swabs for RT-PCR (real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction) taken forehead...

To retrospectively evaluate the patients who underwent nasopharyngeal biopsy with imaging and results, have or don't symptoms for pathology to determine ratio of cancer cases other pathologic conditions.In this retrospective study, 983 endoscopic symptomatic lesions were included. All pathological benign malign was recorded classified due patients' presenting such as asymptomatic. Computed tomography (CT) magnetic resonance (MRI) reports also separately group A malignancy B not...

In recent years, transoral robotic surgery has been introduced as an efficient and a reliable method for excision of selected oral cavity, tongue base, supraglottic tumors in otolaryngology. this case report, 39-year-old woman with history hoarseness dysphagia approximately 6 months is presented. The patient was diagnosed atypical carcinoid tumor on the laryngeal aspect epiglottis, performed through using da Vinci surgical system, 0-degree three-dimensional endoscope, 5-mm microinstruments...

Sinonasal fibrosarcoma is an infrequently occurring malignant neoplasm. It usually presents with nasal obstruction and epistaxis, as do other sarcomas in this region. The final diagnosis based on the histopathologic immunohistochemical examination. We report a case involving 47-year-old woman 2-year history of left proptosis, well diplopia for 2 months preceding her visit. Computed tomography magnetic resonance imaging showed neoplasm occupying cavity, ethmoid sinuses, bilateral frontal...

Objective Tonsillectomy is still one of the most common surgical procedures, but there exists no standard guideline for pain management after tonsillectomy. Our aim to determine whether oral spray flurbiprofen reduces and has an influence on other morbid outcomes following Study Design Prospective, double‐blind, randomized, placebo controlled. Setting Patients at Ataturk Training Research Hospital, Ankara, Turkey. Subjects Methods This study was performed 84 patients (45 in group, 39 group)...

Aberrant internal carotid artery (ICA) is a rare but very important vascular anomaly of temporal bone. Misdiagnosis the may lead to massive hemorrhage and severe complications during otologic procedures. It essential keep this in mind for any surgeon prevent catastrophic complications. We present case aberrant ICA appeared as nonpulsatile middle ear mass. The patient had complaint hearing loss, otoscopic examination revealed tympanic membrane perforation blue-reddish retrotympanic...

Giant paranasal sinus osteomas are rare tumors that may be very closely adherent to surrounding anatomical structures, and complete removal of these challenging. We report 6 cases giant were removed completely discussed their symptoms, diagnostic workup, our surgical approach. reviewed the patient files with summarized history, diagnosis, management, follow-up. Three patients underwent endoscopic surgery; other 2 open approach (osteoplastic flap procedure bicoronal incision), 1 both...
