ABSTRACT

Aims: This study aims to make a comparative analysis of disease-free survival (DFS) and overall disease-specific survival (OS) in patients with laryngeal carcinoma. Materials and methods: The study was designed retrospectively. Sixteen patients with postoperative PSM and 30 with negative surgical margins (NSM) were included. Survival analysis and Long-Rank comparisons was performed for DFS and OS between groups. Results: PSM was a significant independent risk factor for loco-regional recurrence and disease-related mortality (p = 0.004, HR: 1.6, p = 0.002, HR: 3.2, respectively). DFS and OS were significantly longer in NSM group (p = 0.001 and 0.003, respectively). For PSM group, 2- and 5-year DFS rates were 57%; OS rates were 80% and 34% respectively. In NSM group, 2- and 5-year DFS rates were 96% and 83%; OS rates were found to be 96%. Conclusion: PSM had significant relation with poor prognosis.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: The aim of this study is to evaluate long-term outcomes of cochlear implantation (CI) in patients with postmeningitic deafness. METHODS: Twenty-seven patients with severe to profound hearing loss due to bacterial meningitis and received CI were the subjects of this study. Surgical findings and long-term audiological performances were evaluated. Speech perception and speech intelligibility of the implanted patients were evaluated with the categories of auditory performance-II (CAP-II) test and speech intelligibility rating (SIR) test, respectively. RESULTS: Eighteen of the 27 patients had received full electrode insertion through the patent cochlear lumen. Remaining 9 patients had varying degrees of ossification throughout the cochlea and needed to be drilled to achieve partial electrode insertion. None of the patients exhibited surgical complication. Scores in both test batteries (CAP-II and SIR) were comparable between patients who received full or partial electrode insertion (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION: Cochlear implantation after postmeningitic deafness has favorable outcomes especially in long term. Although this type of inner ear pathology may require special considerations during surgery, it is a relatively safe procedure.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to present the surgical findings of children with Waardenburg syndrome (WS) and investigate speech development after cochlear implantation in this unique group of patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective chart review of the patients diagnosed with WS and implanted between 1998 and 2015 was performed. Categories of auditory performance (CAP) test were used to assess the auditory skills of these patients. CAP is a nonlinear hierarchical scale used to rate a child's developing auditory abilities. Preoperative test results and intraoperative surgical findings of these patients have been presented. RESULTS: In total, 1835 cases were implanted a tour institution, and 1210 of these were children. Among these implantees, 11 were diagnosed with WS (0.59% of all implantees). Four of the 11 patients showed incomplete partition type 2bony labyrinth abnormality (Mondini deformity) and all patients showed intraoperative gusher during cochleostomy, which was subsided through routine interventions. No other complications occurred during surgery, and all patients showed satisfactory CAP results in the late postoperative period. CONCLUSION: Our experiences with cochlear implantation in patients with WS showed that the procedure is safe and effective in this group of patients. Surgeons should be aware of possible labyrinth malformations and intraoperative problems such as gusher in these patients. In long term, auditory performances may exhibit satisfactory results with optimal postoperative educational and supportive measures.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate the recurrence and survival of patients treated with frontolateral laryngectomy for T1 and T2 glottic laryngeal carcinoma. METHODS: Patients who underwent frontolateral laryngectomy for glottic laryngeal carcinoma at a tertiary hospital between March 2009 and June 2014 were included. Patient demographics, tumor stage, treatment and histopathological examination data, and adjuvant therapy details were evaluated. RESULTS: Thirty patients with T1aN0, T1bN0, and T2N0 vocal fold carcinoma were examined. The mean follow-up duration was 40 months. Of the 30 patients, nine (30%) were stage T1 and 21 (70%) were in stage T2. Twenty-nine patients were males and one was female, and the mean age was 59 (range, 42-81) years. During follow-up, local recurrence was observed in four patients following frontolateral laryngectomy. Six patients continued smoking after frontolateral laryngectomy, of which three developed tumor recurrence. The local control rate was poor in patients with anterior commissure involvement (66.6%) compared with those with no involvement (95.2%). Two of four patients with local recurrence were treated with salvage total laryngectomy and adjuvant postoperative radiotherapy; the remaining two were treated with only radiotherapy. One patient who was treated with only radiotherapy developed lung metastasis during follow-up and died because of distant metastasis. CONCLUSION: Frontolateral laryngectomy is an efficient choice of treatment for selected cases of T1 and T2 glottic laryngeal carcinoma.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: In this retrospective review, we aimed to determine the most appropriate management of the complication of late swelling around the implant body following cochlear implantation. METHODS: The medical records of 516 patients who underwent cochlear implantation between January 2008 and June 2013 were reviewed for a history of swelling around the implant body. RESULTS; Of the 516 patients, 16 (8 males and 8 females) had a history of swelling around the implant body following implantation. The onset of swelling was from 1 to 60 months (median 21.2 months) after implantation. Three of the 16 patients had a history of manifest trauma to the head, and the remaining 13 had experienced an upper respiratory tract infection just before the swelling arose. Discussion In the light of our clinical experiences, we may suggest that late swelling around the implant body seems associated with a manifest or hidden head trauma or upper respiratory tract infections. CONCLUSION: After the initial assessment of swelling, surgeons should be aware of the possibility of abscess formation. As a general rule, any kind of pus collection should be drained surgically. However, in the case of pus collection without abscess formation, conservative measurements can often achieve satisfactory results.
