  • A Post-Tympanoplasty Evaluation of the Factors Affecting Development of Myringosclerosis in the Graft: a Clinical Study

The aim of our study was to both reveal and evaluate the impact of the factors that might be effective on the post-tym- panoplasty development of myringosclerosis in the graft. MATERIALS and METHODS: In line with this objective, a total of 108 patients (44 males and 64 females) aged between 11 and 66 years (mean age, 29.5 years) who had undergone type 1 tympanoplasty (TP) with an intact canal wall technique and type 2 TP, followed up for an average of 38.8 months, were evaluated. In the presence of myringosclerosis, in consideration of the tympanic membrane (TM) quadrants involved, the influential factors were analyzed in our study, together with the development of myringosclerosis, including preoperative factors, such as the presence of myringosclerosis in the residual and also contralateral tympanic membrane, extent and location of the perforation, and perioperative factors, such as tympanosclerosis in the middle ear and mastoid cavity, cholesteatoma, granulation tissue, and type of the operation performed.

MacLennan Geriatric Medicine Unit, City Hospital, Edinburgh and Departments of'Otolaryngology, 2Audiology and 3Radiology, Royal Infirmary, Edinburgh, UK Summary: Twenty-one elderly patients with dizziness underwent a comprehensive medical and otoneurological evaluation. The majority had vertigo, limited mobility and restricted neck movements. Poor visual acuity, postural hypotension and presbyacusis were also frequent findings. Electronystagmo- graphy revealed positional nystagmus in 12, disordered smooth pursuit in 18, and abnormal caloric responses in nine. Magnetic resonance imaging showed ischaemic changes in six out of eight patients. Although dizziness in the elderly is clearly multifactorial, the suggested importance of vertebrobasilar ischaemia warrants further consideration as vertigo has been shown to be a risk factor for stroke.

  • 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.

    Myringotomy Surgery with PE Tube Placement Perioperative Instructions Introduction What is the purpose of myringotomy surgery? This form is intended to inform you about myringotomy (meer-ing- Treats ear infections that have not responded well to other GOT-o-mee) surgery. During myringotomy surgery, a tube is placed treatments in the eardrum. Topics covered include basic function of the ear, what Improves hearing loss caused by fluid build up occurs during surgery and postop care. Improves speech development delayed by hearing loss How does the ear work? Treats recurrent Eustachian tube dysfunction Treats ear problems associated with cleft palate The outer ear collects sound. The paper-thin eardrum separates the outer ear from the middle ear, a tiny air-filled cavity. The middle ear Benefits of myringotomy surgery may include: contains the bones of hearing, which are attached to the eardrum. Fewer and less severe ear infections When sound waves strike the eardrum, it vibrates and sets the bones Hearing improvement in motion, enabling sound to be transmitted to the inner ear. The inner Improvement of speech ear converts vibrations to electrical signals and sends these signals to the brain. What are the risks of surgery? A healthy middle ear contains air, which enters through the narrow Difficulties related to anesthesia Eustachian tube that connects the back of the nose to the ear. A Failure for the incision to heal after the tube falls out normally functioning Eustachian tube opens to equalize pressure in (tympanic membrane perforation) the middle ear, allowing fluid to exist. Fluid build-up in the middle Scarring of the eardrum ear can block transmission of sound, causing hearing loss and/or Hearing loss setting the stage for recurrent ear infections (otitis media).

    Division of Pediatric Otolaryngology Information on Tympanostomy Tubes Tympanostomy tubes are small plastic or metal tubes that are placed into the tympanic membrane or ear drum. How long will the tube stay in place? Tubes usually fall out of the ear in 6 months- 2 years. If they remain in longer than 2 to 3 years they are sometimes removed. What is involved with Tympanostomy tube placement? This surgery is usually done under general anesthesia. The eardrum is examined using a microscope. A small hole is made in the ear drum called a myringotomy, fluid is removed, and the tube is placed. Tube in the eardrum What medical conditions are treated with tubes? Recurrent middle ear infections or frequent acute otitis media Otitis media with effusion or fluid in middle ear associated with hearing loss Eustachian tube dysfunction causing hearing loss or eardrum structure changes What is the Eustachian tube? This is the canal that links the middle ear with the throat. This tube allows air into the middle ear and drainage of fluid. This tube grows in width and length until children are about 5 years old. Reasons that the Eustachian tube may not work properly: Viral illness, exposure to allergens or tobacco smoke may lead to swelling of the eustachian tube resulting in fluid buildup in the middle ear. Children with cleft palate and craniofacial syndromes like Down’s syndrome may have poor eustachian tube function. How will Tympanostomy tube help my child? They allow air to re-enter middle ear space They reduce the number and severity of infections They improve hearing loss cause by middle ear fluid Why is adenoidectomy sometimes done with the Tympanostomy tubes? Adenoidectomy is the removal of the adenoid tissue behind the nose.
