ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: Nasal obstruction after rhinoplasty occurs due to narrowing of the internal nasal valve. Narrowing is due to osteotomy performed to close the open roof of nose after dorsum hump resection. Spreader grafts and autospreader flaps are used to prevent such narrowing. in this study, we aimed to compare the effects of these 2 rhinoplasty techniques on olfactory function, nasal air passage opening, quality of life, and patient satisfaction. METHODS: In this prospective study, 48 rhinoplasty patients were randomly divided into 2 groups according to graft technique used, either spreader graft or autospreader flap. These 2 groups were compared for patient satisfaction. The sinonasal outcome test-22, peak nasal flowmetry, and Connecticut Chemosensory Clinical Research Center test were applied to all patients before and 8 weeks after surgery. RESULTS: The study enrolled 48 patients. Nasal airflow increased in both groups postoperatively. in the preoperative and postoperative comparison of odor functions, postoperative odor functions were similar in both groups. In the autospreader flap group, the preoperative rhinoplasty outcome evaluation questionnaire score was 4.1 ±â€Š2.2 versus 21.3 ±â€Š2.6 in the third postoperative month. The preoperative rhinoplasty outcome evaluation score was 3.9 ±â€Š2.1 in the spreader graft group and 19.7 ±â€Š1.9 in the third postoperative month. CONCLUSIONS: In the present study, postoperative nasal airflow improved in the patients in both the spreader graft and autospreader flap groups. in the patient satisfaction surveys after rhinoplasty, the satisfaction of the patients in the autospreader flap group was higher than that of the patients in the spreader graft group.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To assess the nasal functions, nasal resistance, olfactory function, and quality of life in different surgical techniques for nasal septum deviation STUDY DESIGN:: Randomized controlled trial. METHODS: This prospective controlled study was carried out on patients who underwent septoplasty. Patients participating in the study were divided into 2 groups; group 1: classic septoplasty (n: 25) and group 2: extracorporeal septoplasty (n: 14). The sinonasal outcome test-22 (SNOT-22), peak nasal flowmetry, and Connecticut Chemosensory Clinical Research Center test were applied to all patients before and 8 weeks after surgery. Surgical outcomes also assessed to evaluate complications 6 months after surgery. RESULT: In total, 39 (27 males, 12 females) patients diagnosed with nasal septum deviation were included in this study. A septoplasty was performed in all patients: 25 of them (18 males, 7 females; mean age = 29.4 [range, 23-50] years) underwent classic septoplasties and 14 (9 males, 5 females; mean age = 31.3 [range, 23-50] years) underwent extracorporeal septoplasties. Airway openness was achieved in all patients. As a result, the SNOT-22 scores, peak nasal inspiratory flowmeter results, and smell function scores showed significant improvements (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION: All corrective surgical methods for a septum deviation have positive effects on nasal airflow, quality of life, and olfaction. The rates of complications were not significantly different between 2 treatment groups.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: The goal of this study was to evaluate the effects of radioactive iodine ablation therapy on voice quality of patients diagnosed with well-differentiated thyroid carcinoma. METHODS: We enrolled 36 patients who underwent total or subtotal thyroidectomy due to well-differentiated thyroid carcinoma. Voice recordings from patients were analyzed for acoustic and aerodynamic voice. The Voice Handicap Index-10 was used for subjective analysis. The control group consisted of 36 healthy participants. Results taken before and after therapy were compared statistically. RESULTS: There were no differences in the results taken before and after therapy for the radioactive iodine ablation group. The Voice Handicap Index-10 results did not differ between groups before and after therapy. CONCLUSION: Radioactive iodine ablation therapy has no effect on voice quality objectively or subjectively.
