OBJECTIVE To evaluate a reproducible surgical technique for augmentation rhinoplasty of complex saddle nose deformities, which are characterized by substantial loss of nasal structural support and result in multiple nasal abnormalities. DESIGN Case series and surgical outcome study. SETTING Tertiary referral center. PATIENTS A total of 43 patients (32 female and 11 male; mean +/- SD age, ...

Agitated and uncooperative children are frequently a challenge for safe anesthetic induction or urgent surgical procedures in emergency departments. Promoting anxiolysis and light sedation facilitates the performance of such procedures, reducing the adverse effects and increasing parents’ and health care team’s satisfaction. In a recently published study by Kawanda et al.,1 intranasal midazolam...

Facial reconstruction is one of the most challenging problems faced by a reconstructive surgeon. We present a case of complex facial reconstruction with a composite trauma to the nose resulting in near total loss of skin and lining along with complete loss of left eyebrow with exposed frontal bone and partial loss of the left eyelid. We combined a temporoparietal fascial flap for reconstruction...

Background: Infantile hemangioma is the most common benign tumor in infancy and occurs most often in the cervicofacial region. Its course can be divided into 3 phases with frequent spontaneous regression. However, residual sequelae or anatomical structure de­ formities can occur. An early and definitive surgical approach aiming at good aesthetic results and anatomical preservation is indicated ...

Since the introduction of endoscopic technology in the neurosurgical field, the role of transnasal surgery has been dramatically enlarged. With this technique, we can approach the anterior cranial base, parasellar region, clivus, cavernous sinus, and craniovertebral junction, less invasively than with conventional microsurgery. This review describes the two major approach methods in endoscopic ...

Objective. To assess the outcomes of functional rhinoplasty for nasal valve incompetence and to evaluate an in-office test used to select appropriate surgical techniques. Methods. Patients with nasal obstruction due to nasal valve incompetence were enrolled. The modified Cottle maneuver was used to assess the internal and external nasal valves to help select the appropriate surgical method. The...

Introduction: When dealing with maxillary sinus pathology, some areas of the sinus remain difficult to examine. In this regard, the pre-lacrimal approach is a minimally invasive technique to reach anterolateral areas of the maxillary sinus while preserving the physiological nasal function.   Materials and Methods: The present study aimed to provide technical hints relate...

We report a case of a 6 month old baby boy who had congenital nasal encephalocele, repaired via the traditional staging procedure. The surgical techniques and procedures are described and discussed.

conclusions aki is common in urology patients. the underlying aetiologies of aki in this group may explain a lower overall mortality, although increasing aki severity remains a marker of patients at higher risk of poor outcomes. the low rate of renal recovery suggests that urology patients who sustain aki are exposed to a significant risk of ckd and its attendant consequences for long term heal...
