Locally advanced laryngeal cancer metastasize more. Supraglottic cancers have the highest prevalence of regional metastases among laryngeal cancers. \u0000Objectives: To evaluate the frequency of regional metastasis in supraglottic carcinoma of larynx. \u0000Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted including 40 patients with supraglottic Carcinoma of Larynx over a period of six months from June to November 2014 in the ENT and Head Neck Surgery department of Rajshahi Medical College Hospital, Rajshahi. Those with glottic carcinoma, subglottic carcinoma, hypopharyngeal carcinoma, metastatic neck node without any primary site (Occult primary) were excluded from the study. FNAC from neck node was done in patients with palpable neck node. \u0000Results: Most of the patients 19 (47.5%) was in age group 50-60 years with mean age 54.5±13.2 years. Most of the patients present with more than one symptom & the commonest presenting symptoms was cough and irritation 35(87.5%) followed by dysphagia 26(65%) and change of voice 24(60%). A good number of patients, 16(40%) was presented with neck swelling. Among 40 patients, 16(40%) had their regional lymph nodes involved. Level-II lymph nodes were involved in higher number of cases 10(62.5%). Nodes in early stage of involvement were found in most cases 9(56.5%). Homolateral involvement of nodes was found in most cases 13(81.3%).Most of the supraglottic growths 22(55.0%) was exophytic in appearance. The common site of supraglottic carcinoma in this study was aryepiglottic fold and arytenoids 20(50.0%). Among the patients, 31(77.5%) had T2 tumours. Amon them, 16(40%) were in stage-III followed by stage-II 10(25%). \u0000Conclusion: Regional metastasis is a very useful prognostic indicator. Supraglottis is rich in lymphatic drainage and a high proportion of these tumors spread to lymph nodes. \u0000Bangladesh J Otorhinolaryngol 2022; 28(2): 180-185","PeriodicalId":53915,"journal":{"name":"Bangladesh Journal of Otorhinolaryngology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-03-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43354172","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is one of the commonest procedures carried out on the critically ill patient. The most common causes of non-malignant airway obstruction are head and severe facial trauma, cerebrovascular accident, coma, respiratory burn and presence of foreign bodies in airway etc. Tracheostomy is an increasingly utilised adjunct in the ICU management of patients. Effective tracheostomy management involved the multi-professional team in a coordinated approach. \u0000Objectives: To study the indications of tracheostomy in non-malignant disorders. \u0000Study design: Cross-sectional study. \u0000Study setting and period: Department of Otolaryngorhinology and Head- Neck surgery (Unit- 1,2,3), General Surgery, ICU, Casualty, Neurosurgery, Thoracic surgery, Burn & Plastic Surgery and relevant OPD in Dhaka Medical College Hospitalfrom6th September 2015 to 5th March 2016. \u0000Methods: A hospital based cross-sectional study. Fifty patients admitted to hospital, underwent tracheostomy for non-malignant factors. Purposive samplings technique was used. Detail demographic data were collected from the informant and recorded in structured case record form. Clinical examination and relevant investigation were done meticulously. All collected questionnaire checked very carefully to identify the error in the data. Data processing work consist of registration schedules, editing computerization, preparation of dummy table, analyzing and matching of data. \u0000Result: A total of 50 patients of non-malignant pathology causing airway patency loss in different ward unit of DMCH were selected. In this study, maximum numbers of patients (36%) were between 51-70 years age groups with mean age was 47.23±11.57 years. It was observed that, frequency of non-malignant aetiology for tracheostomy gradually increases with age. Study show that, 51-70 years was most frequent age group (36%). Out of 50 cases 82% were male. Present study show that socioeconomically majority patients were poor class (52%), highest percentage of patient comprised of day labourer (30%). Head trauma (12%) and cerebrovascular accidents (9%) were the most common etiological factor trauma was the major aetilogical group (50%),followed by, central drive problems or neurological disease (38%) and elective tracheostomy was done. \u0000Conclusion: Head and facial trauma, cerebrovascular accident, coma, respiratory burn and presence of foreign bodies etc. are common aetilogical factors. It was found that tracheostomy is safer alternative to intubation when a prolonged artificial airway is required. \u0000Bangladesh J Otorhinolaryngol 2022; 28(2): 157-164  ","PeriodicalId":53915,"journal":{"name":"Bangladesh Journal of Otorhinolaryngology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-03-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48870276","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Auricular perichondritis, the commonest form, involves the pinna due to infection of a traumatic or surgical wound or the deep spread of superficial inflammation. This type of disease often leads to residual deformity, and its incidence in our experience seems to be increasing. \u0000Objectives: The present study was conducted to determine the predisposing factors, pathogenic organisms, interventions and residual deformities of the disease in a peripheral medical college hospital. \u0000Methods: This was a prospective study which was conducted in the Department of Otolaryngology – Head & Neck Surgery, Pabna Medical College Hospital, Pabna from January 2017 to June 2018. Follow up was for six months ending with assessment of pinna deformity. Data was analyzed using SPSS for windows version 22. \u0000Results: Patients were from 15- 75 years of age (range 60 years) with male predominance and peak in the fourth decade of life. The most common predisposing factors were trauma from motor vehicle accidents (30%) followed by high ear piercing (22%). Pseudomonas aeruginosa (48%) followed by Staphylococcus aureus (20%) were the most common organisms. Patients were treated with intravenous antibiotics but 76% also required surgical intervention. 68% developed residual deformities of the pinna with 50% being total and 18% being partial. \u0000Conclusion: Auricular perichondritis is a frightening disease which requires early management. As Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the most common organism, antipseudomonal antibiotics should be started as early as possible. Despite medical and surgical intervention, residual deformities may ensue. \u0000Bangladesh J Otorhinolaryngol 2022; 28(2): 165-170    ","PeriodicalId":53915,"journal":{"name":"Bangladesh Journal of Otorhinolaryngology","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-03-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41525122","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Adenoid along with the tonsils, is a part of the lymphatic system that clears away infection and keeps body fluids in balance.Whenever, adenoid become enlarged, seriously infected or causes certain complications, adenoidectomy becomes essential. It can be performed with many ways includingcoblation assisted adenoidectomy and conventional curettage adenoidectomy. \u0000Aim of the study: The aim ofthis study was to assessthe advantages of coblation assisted adenoidectomy over conventional curettage adenoidectomy. \u0000Methods: This comparative observational study was conducted in the Department of ENT, Bangladesh Medical College Hospital and Popular Medical College Hospital, Bangladesh during the period from July 2019 to June 2022. A total of 100 admitted patients for adenoidectomy were included as the study. All the participants were divided in two groups. In Conventional group, there were 50 participants selected for conventional curettage adenoidectomy.On the other hand, in coblation group, other 50 participants selected for coblation assisted adenoidectomy. For comparison of both the method all necessary data along with demographic and clinical status were collected in a predesigned questioner. All data were processed and analyzed and disseminated by using MS Office and SPSS version 23 programs as per need. \u0000Results: In this study, as the superiority of coblation assisted adenoidectomy over conventional curettage adenoidectomy we found significantly lower ‘intra operative blood loss in ml (7.58±3.28 ml)’, ‘post-operative bleeding (0%)’, presence of residual lymphoid tissue (8%)’, ‘days with analgesics (10.42±3.60 days), ‘post operative adenoid grading (0.0±0.0)’, ‘rate of recurrence (20%)’ and ‘needed days for recovery (4.68±2.17 days)’ among coblation group patients than that among conventional group patients. \u0000Conclusion: Coblation assisted adenoidectomy ensures more easier and specific treatment for the patient. As per the findings of this study we can conclude that, considering the attractive features like lower intra operative and post-operative blood loss, presence of residual lymphoid tissue, days with analgesics, post operative adenoid grading, rate of recurrence and needed days for recovery coblation assisted adenoidectomy may be considered as the method of choice for such treatment. \u0000Bangladesh J Otorhinolaryngol 2022; 28(2): 128-134","PeriodicalId":53915,"journal":{"name":"Bangladesh Journal of Otorhinolaryngology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-03-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43851041","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
