Dorsal Approach Rhinoplasty Dorsal Approach Rhinoplasty
AIJOC 10.5005/jp-journals-10003-1105 ORIGINAL ARTICLE Dorsal Approach Rhinoplasty Dorsal Approach Rhinoplasty Kenneth R Dubeta Part I: Historical Milestones in Rhinoplasty ABSTRACT Direct dorsal excision of skin and subcutaneous tissue is employed in rhinoplasty cases characterized by thick rigid skin to achieve satisfactory esthetic results, in which attempted repair by more conventional means would most likely frustrate both surgeon and patient. This historical review reminds us of the lesson: ‘History repeats itself.’ Built on a foundation of reconstructive rhinoplasty, modern cosmetic and corrective rhinoplasty have seen the parallel development of both open and closed techniques as ‘new’ methods are introduced and reintroduced again. It is from the perspective of constant evolution in the art of rhinoplasty surgery that the author presents, in Part II, his unique ‘eagle wing’ chevron incision technique of dorsal approach rhinoplasty, to overcome the problems posed by the rigid skin nose.

Email: [email protected]. Background: Pleural empyema (PE) is a devastating disease with a high morbidity and mortality. According to the American Thoracic Society it is graduated into three phases and surgery is indicated in intermediate phase II and organized phase III. In the latter, open decortication of the lung via thoracotomy is the gold standard whereas the evidence for feasibility and safety of a minimally-invasive video-assisted thoracoscopic approach is still poor. Methods: Retrospective single-center analysis of patients undergoing surgery for phase III PE from 02/2011 to 03/2015 [n=138, including n=130 VATS approach (n=3 of them with bilateral disease) and n=8 open approach]. -

A Small Road to Misery in Necrotizing External Otitis
Published August 8, 2019 as 10.3174/ajnr.A6161 ORIGINAL RESEARCH HEAD & NECK A Persistent Foramen of Huschke: A Small Road to Misery in Necrotizing External Otitis X W.L. van der Meer, X M. van Tilburg, X C. Mitea, and X A.A. Postma ABSTRACT BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Necrotizing external otitis is a serious complication of external otitis with different spreading patterns. A persistent foramen of Huschke is a dehiscence located antero-inferior in the osseous external ear canal and posterior-medial to the temporomandibular joint. This dehiscence can facilitate extension of infection in an anterior pattern next to classic spread along the fissures of Santorini. The aim of this study was to define the prevalence and size of a persistent foramen of Huschke in patients with necrotizing external otitis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We retrospectively examined 78 CT temporal bone studies (39 patients with necrotizing external otitis, 39 control subjects). The side and presence of the foramen were noted, and its prevalence was calculated. The maximal width of the foramen of Huschke was measured in the axial plane and classified as subtle, mild, moderate, or extensive. RESULTS: A persistent foramen of Huschke was present in 21 patients (26 ears) and 7 control subjects (9 ears). Prevalence was 50% (20/40) and 11.5% (9/78) in affected ears of patients with necrotizing external otitis and control subjects, respectively. Almost all affected ears showed an anterior distribution pattern of necrotizing external otitis. The extensive dehiscence was most common in affected ears. CONCLUSIONS: An anterior necrotizing external otitis spreading pattern is associated with the presence and increased size of a persis- tent foramen of Huschke. -

Cricopharyngeal Myotomy Revisited
10.5005/jp-journals-10023-1019 Sudhakara M Rao et al CASE REPORT Cricopharyngeal Myotomy Revisited 1Sudhakara M Rao, 2Satishchandra T, 2PSN Murthy 1Associate Professor, Department of ENT and Head and Neck Surgery, Dr PSIMS and RF, Gannavaram, Andhra Pradesh, India 2Professor and Head, Department of ENT and Head and Neck Surgery, Dr PSIMS and RF, Gannavaram, Andhra Pradesh, India Correspondence: PSN Murthy, Professor and Head, Department of ENT and Head and Neck Surgery, Dr PSIMS and RF Gannavaram, Andhra Pradesh, India, e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Dysphagia due to neuromuscular in coordination is major disability for the patient. Not able to swallow food or liquids inspite of healthy appetite makes the patient most irritable and can lead to psychological problems. Added to the swallowing problem patient also encounters symptoms and signs of laryngeal penetration or aspiration. For these patients, surgical option of cricopharyngeal myotomy offers a very good relief. We describe two cases where CP myotomy could facilitate a good swallow and prevent laryngeal stimulation or penetration and made a significant improvement in the quality of life of the patients.

Identification of Two Novel LAMP2 Gene Mutations in Danon Disease
The Laryngoscope © 2016 the American Laryngological, Rhinological and Otological Society, Inc. Rotational Thyrotracheopexy After Cricoidectomy for Low-Grade Laryngeal Chrondrosarcoma László Rovó, MD, PhD; Ádám Bach, MD; Balázs Sztanó, MD, PhD; Vera Matievics, MD; Ilona Szegesdi, MD; Paul F. Castellanos, MD, FCCP Objectives:The complex laryngeal functions are fundamentally defined by the cricoid cartilage. Thus, lesions requiring subtotal or total resection of the cricoid cartilage commonly warrant total laryngectomy. However, from an oncological per spective, the resection of the cricoid cartilage would be an optimal solution in these cases. The poor functional results of the few reported cases of total and subtotal cricoidectomy with different reconstruction techniques confirm the need for new approaches to reconstruct the infrastructure of the larynx post cricoidectomy. Study Design:Retrospective case series review. Methods:Four consecutive patients with low-grade chondrosarcoma were treated by cricoidectomy with rotational thy rotracheopexy reconstruction to enable the functional creation of a complete cartilaginous ring that can substitute the func tions of the cricoid cartilage. The glottic structures were stabilized with endoscopic arytenoid abduction lateropexy. Patients were evaluated with objective and subjective function tests. Results: Tumor-free margins were proven; patients were successfully decannulated within 3 weeks. Voice outcomes were adequate for social conversation in all cases. Oral feeding was possible in three patients. Conclusion:Total and subtotal cricoidectomy can be a surgical option to avoid total laryngectomy in cases of large chondrosarcomas destroying the cricoid cartilage. The thyrotracheopexy rotational advancement technique enables the effec tive reconstruction of the structural deficit of the resected cricoid cartilage in cases of total and subtotal cricoidectomy. -
