Management of olfactory dysfunction
An evidence-based update on olfactory dysfunction: who to image, how to test and what works – OT, CRS surgery, biologics and PRP. Olfactory dysfunction (OD) is highly prevalent, affecting more than 20% of the adult population with a clear age-related...Non-surgical rhinoplasty
Some patients would like to alter the appearance of their nose without surgery or make further subtle changes after a rhinoplasty. Lydia Badia explains how this can be done, thanks to the advent of injectable fillers. This medical procedure in...
Is it necessary to put ventilation tubes at the time of surgery in children with cleft palate?
It is commonly understood that existence of a palatal cleft is associated with abnormal action of tensor veli palatini muscle. Frequent middle ear effusions therefore occur because this muscle obstructs rather than opens the Eustachian tube on yawning and swallowing,...
Quality of life in children following balloon Eustachian tuboplasty
This study aimed to demonstrate the efficacy of balloon Eustachian tuboplasty (BET) in children by assessing their quality of life with the Otitis Media-6 questionnaire (OM-6). The OM-6 questionnaire is the most frequently used instrument to measure health-related quality of...
Cystic fibrosis – sinus surgery delays chronic Gram-negative lung infection
This prospective clinical follow-up study is of 106 patients with cystic fibrosis in Copenhagen. Morbidity and mortality in CF are significantly associated with pulmonary colonisation and infection, usually with Gram-negative bacteria. Initially this can be well treated with antibiotics until...
Textbook of Otitis Media: The Basics and Beyond
This book is a comprehensive resource that discusses the multifaceted condition of otitis media. It aims to serve a wide range of medical professionals, including otolaryngologists, audiologists, paediatricians, and medical students, by providing both fundamental knowledge and advanced insights into...
Outcomes after facial nerve preservation surgery for large vestibular schwannomas
Large vestibular schwannomas (Koos grade three or four) are traditionally treated by surgical resection. Gross total resection of such large tumours often results in facial nerve dysfunction. Hence facial nerve preservation surgery was introduced in which maximal surgical resection is...The role of metrics in studies of hearing and cognition
Introduction When perceiving sounds in real-world listening environments, older adults encounter several sources of degradation that can interfere with the perceptual process (Figure 1). Target signals (i.e. the sounds that a listener wants to focus on) have specific acoustic characteristics...
Resection margins in head and neck surgery
Although an increasing proportion of head and neck malignancies are treated with non-surgical modalities, when surgery is undertaken an incomplete clearance results in significantly worse prognosis. However, the intraoperative assessment of an adequate margin is difficult. The personal practice of...
The hidden enemy of microtia reconstruction: cholesteatoma
Although ear reconstruction for concha-type microtia is generally successful, its frequent association with congenital aural stenosis introduces a hidden risk of cholesteatoma due to disruption of epithelial migration. This negatively affects hearing and reconstructive outcomes. This single-centre retrospective case series...
