Olfactory and sinonasal outcomes in endoscopic transsphenoidal skull-base surgery.
BACKGROUND Endoscopic anterior skull-base surgery has been previously suggested to cause a significant deterioration in olfactory function. Given the impact on quality of life, the objective of this study was to determine the effect of a unilateral middle-turbinate-sacrificing approach on olfactory function and sinonasal outcome. METHODS Prospective cohort study comparing olfactory and sinona...

متن کاملManagement of Pituitary Adenomas: Mononostril Endoscopic Transsphenoidal Surgery
Introduction: The endoscopic transsphenoidal approach for pituitary adenomas and other sellar lesions is quickly becoming the procedure of choice in their surgical management. The most common approach is binostril three-hand technique which requires a large exposure and subjects both nasal cavities to potential trauma. To reduce nasal morbidity, we employ a mononostril two-hand technique with t...
متن کاملOlfactory outcomes after endoscopic transsphenoidal pituitary surgery.
BACKGROUND Olfaction has been demonstrated to have a great impact on patients' lives. Transsphenoidal endoscopic pituitary surgery is associated with potentially significant damage to olfactory tissues, but to date this issue has been only poorly documented in the literature. STUDY DESIGN Prospective cohort study comparing olfactory outcomes pre- and postpituitary surgery. METHOD Patients w...
متن کاملQuality of Life, Pulmonary Spirometry, and Dosage of Steroid in Asthmatic Patients with Polyposis after Endoscopic Sinus Surgery
Introduction: The association between asthma and sinonasal disease has been established for years. As sinonasal disease is one of the factors that exacerbates asthma, effective treatment of this disorder may also improve and stabilize the asthmatic condition. This study examines the outcome of endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) on asthmatic patients with massive nasal polyposis. Materials and Met...
