The anatomy and actual number of branches of the sphenopalatine artery: surgical implications

1 November 2014 | | ENTA - Laryngology / Swallowing / Voice, ENTA - Rhinology / Sinus, ENTA - Skull Base Surgery, ENTA - Otology
Endoscopic sphenopalatine artery ligation or cauterisation is nowadays the main treatment for epistaxis unresponsive to medical therapy. However, on review of the literature, there appears to be confusion relating to the anatomical nomenclature of the sphenopalatine artery branches and more...

Cartilage conduction hearing aids: the third pathway for sound transmission and its application

7 January 2020 | | ENTA - Audiology - Adult
Air-conduction and bone-conduction are familiar terms; now enter ‘cartilage conduction’. This new term offers a novel approach sound transmission. Hiroshi Hosoi explains the concept and proposes some future applications. The new sound pathway ‘cartilage conduction’ can provide various types of...
