Fibrin glue is the most common material used. Regenerated oxidized cellulose (ROC) has not been mentioned in the literature as sealant and adhesive, and, hence, we intended to study this role. Objective To evaluate the role of ROC as tissue sealant and adhesive in the reconstruction of skull-base defects in endoscopic endonasal skull-base surgery. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the medical records of patients who underwent endoscopic endonasal skull-base surgery with skull-base defect and intraoperative CSF leak, for which reconstruction was performed using fibrin glue or ROC, or both, as a sealant and adhesive. The type of sealant and adhesive used and postoperative CSF leak rates with different agents used were analyzed. Results A total of 64 patients were investigated. Fibrin glue alone was used initially in 6 patients, of which 4 (66.6%) experienced postoperative CSF leak. Both fibrin glue and ROC were used in 26 patients, among which 2 (7.6%) exhibited postoperative CSF leak. Regenerated oxidized cellulose alone was used in 24 patients, wherein 2 (8.3%) presented with postoperative CSF leak. Fibrin glue alone was once again used later in the learning curve in 8 patients, of which 2 (25%) experienced postoperative CSF leak ( p = 0.002). Conclusion Fibrin glue provides intraoperative watertight seal. Regenerated oxidized cellulose has better intraoperative and long-term sealant and adhesive action in endoscopic endonasal skull-base reconstruction.","PeriodicalId":13731,"journal":{"name":"International Archives of Otorhinolaryngology","volume":"29 2","pages":"1-10"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12020577/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143994173","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of that study was to assess the feasibility of managing patients at their homes or workplaces, with instructions to attend outpatient clinics the next working day if they suspected any deviation or reduced nasal airflow, for further evaluation. Objective To compare the results of our previous research with the traditional, in-person nasal injury clinics, using the same criteria as in our prior investigation. Methods We analyzed 3 months of preexisting data from video clinics and collected 6 months of data from face-to-face clinics. We gathered information on the number of patients, categorized by age and gender, as well as records of missed appointments (DNAs) and the requirement for nasal manipulations. Data analysis was conducted using the Chi-Squared test in SciPy Python 3.0 (open source).

Axial images were obtained with multiplanar scans, to visualize details in coronal and sagittal planes for all subjects. Results Among the 110 CTs (220 sides) of the maxillary sinus's floor, there were 53.2% type 1, 29.1% type 2, 10% type 3, and 7.7% type 4, with significant difference between genders.

Temporomandibular disorders and oral behaviors are associated with a higher prevalence of somatosensory tinnitus, and this association is described in the literature as part of the diagnosis of this condition. Objective To verify the association between somatosensory tinnitus and oral behaviors. Methods Patients were recruited from an Orofacial Pain outpatient clinic and from Head and Neck Unit. All participants underwent anamnesis, physical examination and completed the Oral Behaviors Checklist questionnaire. Forty-six patients were divided into 2 groups, each consisting of 23 patients: somatosensory tinnitus group (STG) and a comparison group (CG), with subjective tinnitus. Data were gathered and analyzed using the Jamovi software (open source) and a significance level of 5% was adopted. Somatosensory tinnitus was associated with dizziness and neck and temporomandibular joint pain. Results There was an association between a higher Oral Behaviors Checklist score and the presence of somatosensory tinnitus. For each point marked on Oral Behaviors Checklist, there was an 8.2% greater chance of having somatosensory tinnitus. Tinnitus modulation through somatic maneuvers and palpation of masticatory and cervical muscles was significantly associated with somatosensory tinnitus. Conclusion Dizziness and neck and temporomandibular joint pain are associated with the presence of somatosensory tinnitus.

Methods The study included patients aged between 21 and 53 years diagnosed at the outpatient department with inactive mucosal chronic otitis media. The sample was divided into the case group, which included subjects with tympanic membrane perforation and myringosclerosis, and the control group, which included subjects with tympanic membrane perforation only, without myringosclerosis. We assessed the audiological findings of the patients before and after surgery, as well as hearing gain, graft uptake, and residual perforation/reperforation. Results No significant relationships were observed involving the age or sex of the patient and the closure rate or hearing gain, neither between the location of the perforation and graft uptake. Graft uptake was higher in patients with perforation size < 50%. The graft uptake and hearing gain were higher in the case group. Conclusion The removal of sclerotic plaques increases the surface of the raw area created by subepithelial excision of the myringosclerotic plaques, leading to a high rate of surgical success for the closure of tympanic membrane defects with coexisting myringosclerosis.","PeriodicalId":13731,"journal":{"name":"International Archives of Otorhinolaryngology","volume":"29 1","pages":"1-9"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11785424/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143079973","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
