Bronchial asthma is frequently accompanied by chronic rhinitis. It has been observed that effective treatment of rhinitis may reduce asthma symptoms. The aim of the study was the evaluation of the control of bronchial asthma symptoms in patients with chronic rhinitis after argon plasma coagulation turbinectomy (APCt). The effect of APCt was assesse...
To characterize patients with parapharyngeal abscess admitted to a Danish tertiary care centre and evaluate our management. This is a retrospective chart review. All records of patients with parapharyngeal abscess admitted to the Ear-Nose-Throat Department at Aarhus University Hospital, Denmark, from January 2001 through December 2011 were reviewed...
Pharyngo-cutaneous fistula is a serious complication of laryngectomy, with a significant associated morbidity and mortality. The oncologic success of organ-preservation protocols with radiotherapy or chemo-radiotherapy for laryngeal carcinoma means laryngectomy is increasingly reserved for surgical salvage in the event of persistent or recurrent di...
The goal of this work was to review the pre-and postsurgical auditory thresholds of two surgical implantation techniques, namely the mastoidectomy with posterior tympanotomy approach (MPTA) and suprameatal approach (SMA), to determine whether there is a difference in the degree of preservation of residual hearing. In a series of 430 consecutive imp...
Olfactory groove meningioma is a demanding therapeutic problem involving two medical specialties, otolaryngology and neurosurgery. The use of transnasal endoscopic (TNE) approach to the tumour has been proved effective in many publications. Three patients with meningiomas localized in olfactory groove were treated in 2011 and 2012 by the otolaryngo...
The value of ultrasound in detecting central compartment lymph node metastasis in patients with well-differentiated thyroid carcinoma (WDTC) is unclear. Prospective patients with WDTC attending a university-affiliated tertiary medical center between July 2010 and June 2011 underwent neck ultrasound for detection of central compartment lymph node me...
In 2007, a fast track program for patients with suspicion of head and neck cancer (HNC) was introduced in Denmark to reduce unnecessary waiting time. The program was based on so called "package solutions" including pre-booked slots for outpatient evaluation, imaging, and diagnostic surgical procedures. The purpose of this study is to present a mode...
To report and evaluate the surgical outcomes of the treatment of attic cholesteatoma using epitympanoplasty with cartilage obliteration in the preservation of the posterior canal wall. Our study group consists of 138 subjects with attic cholesteatoma who underwent surgery of the mastoidectomy of the intact posterior canal wall and epitympanoplasty ...
The aim of the study was to assess the markers of oxidant-antioxidant status in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) who underwent uvulopalatal flap (UPF) surgery. Twenty-five patients who underwent UPF surgery participated in this study. Polysomnographic examinations were performed before and after the surgery to assess sleep apne...
The aim of this retrospective study was to investigate the relationship between cribriform plate (CP) dimensions and septal deviation degree. Coronal paranasal CT scans of 99 patients were reviewed. We measured depth and width of cribriform plate on both sides and compared with septal deviation side and septal deviation degree. Deviation angles wer...
