  • Consultation Diagnoses and Procedures Billed Among Recent Graduates Practicing General Otolaryngology – Head & Neck Surger
    Eskander et al. Journal of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery (2018) 47:47 https://doi.org/10.1186/s40463-018-0293-8 ORIGINALRESEARCHARTICLE Open Access Consultation diagnoses and procedures billed among recent graduates practicing general otolaryngology – head & neck surgery in Ontario, Canada Antoine Eskander1,2,3* , Paolo Campisi4, Ian J. Witterick5 and David D. Pothier6 Abstract Background: An analysis of the scope of practice of recent Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery (OHNS) graduates working as general otolaryngologists has not been previously performed. As Canadian OHNS residency programs implement competency-based training strategies, this data may be used to align residency curricula with the clinical and surgical practice of recent graduates. Methods: Ontario billing data were used to identify the most common diagnostic and procedure codes used by general otolaryngologists issued a billing number between 2006 and 2012. The codes were categorized by OHNS subspecialty. Practitioners with a narrow range of procedure codes or a high rate of complex procedure codes, were deemed subspecialists and therefore excluded. Results: There were 108 recent graduates in a general practice identified. The most common diagnostic codes assigned to consultation billings were categorized as ‘otology’ (42%), ‘general otolaryngology’ (35%), ‘rhinology’ (17%) and ‘head and neck’ (4%). The most common procedure codes were categorized as ‘general otolaryngology’ (45%), ‘otology’ (23%), ‘head and neck’ (13%) and ‘rhinology’ (9%). The top 5 procedures were nasolaryngoscopy, ear microdebridement, myringotomy with insertion of ventilation tube, tonsillectomy, and turbinate reduction. Although otology encompassed a large proportion of procedures billed, tympanoplasty and mastoidectomy were surprisingly uncommon. Conclusion: This is the first study to analyze the nature of the clinical and surgical cases managed by recent OHNS graduates.

  • Tympanoplasty (With Or Without Ossiculoplasty) Informed Consent
    TYMPANOPLASTY (WITH OR WITHOUT OSSICULOPLASTY) INFORMED CONSENT The tympanic membrane (eardrum) is a very important structure that is involved with hearing. It is a thin membrane, about half the size of a dime, and it is located at the end of the ear canal. When sound waves enter the ear canal, the tympanic membrane vibrates. This transmits the sound energy through several tiny bones (ossicles) to the inner ear. This signal then travels from the inner ear to the brain, where it is perceived as sound. If there is a hole (perforation) in the tympanic membrane, the hearing mechanism is disrupted. While hearing will not be completely gone, there can be a substantial hearing loss associated with a tympanic membrane perforation. The degree of hearing loss depends on the size and location of the perforation on the eardrum, as well as whether or not the ossicles are injured. The main causes of a tympanic membrane perforation are trauma and infection. Examples of ear trauma include being hit directly on the ear, jumping into a pool and having the water hit the ear, or experiencing rapid changes in air pressure such as with scuba diving or skydiving. Alternatively, a bad ear infection can cause a perforation, which may not spontaneously heal. Most tympanic membrane perforations will heal spontaneously. However, if a perforation has persisted for several months, there is a good chance that it will remain. Many patients with tympanic membrane perforation are good candidates to have the perforation surgically closed. This is an operation called a tympanoplasty. Tympanoplasty may be performed alone, or in conjunction with other procedures such as ossiculoplasty or mastoidectomy.

  • Tympanoplasty Precautions 1. Do Not Blow Your Nose Until

Hoopes, PA-C www.entslc.com Post-Operative Instructions: Tympanoplasty Precautions 1. Do not blow your nose until your doctor has told you that your ear is healed. Any accumulated secretions in the nose may be drawn back into the throat and spit out if desired. The nose may be gently dabbed with tissue paper. This is particularly important if you catch a cold. You should follow this precaution for 4 weeks following surgery. 2. Do not “pop” your ears by holding your nose and blowing air through the Eustachian tube into the ear. 3. Sneeze with your mouth open. 4. Do not allow water to enter your ear until advised by your doctor. The outer cap may be removed 48 hours after surgery. You may shower 48 hours after the operation. When showering, place a small clean piece of cotton dipped in Vaseline in your outer ear opening to keep water out. If you have packing in your ear, this may be placed directly over the packing. Remove the cotton after showering is complete. 5. After you have removed the outer cap, clean the incision with hydrogen peroxide twice a day until it has healed. Apply a small amount of Bacitracin or Neosporin to the incision after cleansing. The sutures are dissolvable and will fall out on their own. 6.
