Dead and alive:by Dr. Archana Jhawar
Dead and alive
by Dr. Archana Jhawar
Yesterday when I went to KEM medical college, saw hospital’s “hands on training lab-Clinical skills and research laboratory” to train doctors of newer techniques of surgery…I felt good. I was elated whole day to see such a lab and innumerable dead bodies to work on…
Suddenly night time I felt numb, a thought just clicked in my mind…Why I am so happy??? Seeing the dead-bodies? Am I that heartless? What if I would have known few of them? Could I feel same way then?? What if I met them when they were alive and they were known to me? Could I feel same way then??
I may not like the answer but my true answer will be a big “No”.
I am happy because they will be helpful to me even after their death, quite a human nature, not my fault. So I gave explanation to myself- I will be doing good to others if I learn to do advanced surgeries and I am not responsible for their death at least.
But my heart felt uneasy and I had a disturbed sleep…

Otophyma: a rare and frequently misdiagnosed entity
Manish Gupta, MS ENT, Monica Gupta, MD Med, Tarun Narang, MD Skin
Received 25 November 2008 published online 24 April 2009.
American Journal of Otolaryngolody
Abstract
Otophyma is the term used for sebaceous gland hypertrophy and hyperplasia of the ear. It is usually the end stage of rosacea—a common, chronic, cutaneous disorder of unknown etiology. We hereby present a rare case of otophyma with its clinical features, its etiology, diagnosis, and review of medical and surgical therapy. This patient remained undiagnosed and mismanaged for many years before she was finally diagnosed with this rare condition and successfully managed by surgical technique. To our knowledge, this is the second case of otophyma presented in the otolaryngological literature.

Changing trends of peritonsillar abscess
Tal Marom, MDa, Udi Cinamon, MDa, David Itskoviz, MDa, Yehudah Roth, MDab
Received 31 October 2008 published online 24 April 2009.
American Journal of Otolaryngology
Abstract
Objective
This retrospective, cohort study aims to assess the changing characteristics of peritonsillar abscess (PTA).
Method
Data were obtained from PTA patient records admitted to a secondary hospital over a 10-year period.
Results
A total of 427 patients, aged 31.6 ± 15.2 years (range, 3–91), were treated for PTA, reflecting an incidence of 0.9/10 000/y. Forty-seven (11%) patients had more than one episode. There was no sex, seasonal, or side predominance. Thirteen (3%) patients developed complications. One hundred four (24.4%) patients were 40 years or older, had a longer hospital stay, and were prone to complications. One hundred two (23.8%) patients did not have an anteceding pharyngotonsillitis. Smoking was more common among patients with PTA as compared with the general population and was associated with more complications. A total of 283 (66.2%) patients developed PTA in spite of prior antibiotic therapy; 51.1% of smokers that received prior antibiotics had a higher incidence of Streptococcus viridans isolates.
Conclusion
Peritonsillar abscess may have changed its characteristics: affecting more older patients having a worse and longer course and PTA evolvement without anteceding tonsillitis or in spite of a prior adequate antibiotic therapy. Smoking may be a predisposing factor

A new method for osteotomies in oncologic nasal surgery: Piezosurgery
A new method for osteotomies in oncologic nasal surgery: Piezosurgery
Angelo Salami, Massimo Dellepiane, MD, Barbara Crippa, MD, Renzo Mora, MD
Received 29 May 2008 published online 31 March 2009.
American Journal of Otolaryngolgy
Abstract
Objective
Piezosurgery is a recently developed system for cutting bone without necrosis and nonmineralized tissues damage. The aim of this work has been to test Piezosurgery as a new bony scalpel in nasal surgery.
Methods
In this nonrandomized study, we have performed Piezosurgery in the excision of malignant nasal tumors through a paralateronasal approach. We have used Piezosurgery on 10 patients affected by nasal adenocarcinoma. The piezoelectric device uses low-frequency ultrasonic waves (24.7–29.5 kHz); the applied power can be modulated between 2.8 and 16 W and is programmed in accordance to the density of the bone. The equipment consists of 2 hand pieces, 2 inserts, and 2 peristaltic pumps; the microvibrations that are created in the piezoelectric hand piece cause the inserts to vibrate linearly between 60 and 210 μm.
Results
In all the patients, Piezosurgery provided excellent control without bleeding and harming effects on the adjacent structures. No patients experienced adverse effects.
Conclusion
Piezosurgery is a new and revolutionary osteotomy technique using the microvibrations of scalpels at ultrasonic frequency, so that soft tissue will not be damaged even upon accidental contact with the cutting tip. The safety of Piezosurgery as regards soft tissues was confirmed. No adverse effects were detected during unintentional contact with the tumor, nerve, vessel, and mucoperiosteum; this renders the piezoelectric device ideal for this application.

Intraoperative imaging for otorhinolaryngology-head and neck surgery
Otolaryngol Clin North Am. 2009 Oct;42(5):765-79, viii.
Intraoperative imaging for otorhinolaryngology-head and neck surgery.
Isaacs S, Fakhri S, Luong A, Citardi MJ.
Department of Otorhinolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, University of Texas Medical School at Houston, Texas Sinus Institute, Texas Skull Base Institute, 6431 Fannin Street, MSB 5.036, Houston, TX 77030, USA.
Abstract
The applications of endoscopic techniques have expanded beyond the treatment of inflammatory sinus disease and toward the resection of anterior and middle skull base lesions. Image-guided surgery has emerged as an important tool that compensates for the limitations of surgical endoscopy. The disadvantage of image-guided surgery, however, is its dependence on preoperative imaging data. Intraoperative imaging provides near real-time imaging that has the potential to improve surgical outcomes and reduce operative morbidity. The role of intraoperative imaging in endoscopic sinus and skull base surgery has demonstrated great promise in recent literature. It has had an impact on surgical decision-making during functional endoscopic sinus surgery and the resection of anterior skull base neoplasia. Advances in portable MRI and volumetric CT technology have enhanced the efficiency and safety of intraoperative imaging. Although further studies are required to quantify the precise utility of this new technology, it appears that intraoperative imaging will be an important tool for rhinologic surgery.

Comparison between cartilage-perichondrium composite 'ring' graft and temporalis fascia in type one tympanoplasty in children.
J Laryngol Otol. 2010 Apr 20:1-8. [Epub ahead of print]
Comparison between cartilage-perichondrium composite 'ring' graft and temporalis fascia in type one tympanoplasty in children.
Albirmawy OA.
Otolaryngology Department, Tanta University Hospital, Egypt.
Abstract
Objective:This study aimed to evaluate the anatomical and audiological outcomes of primary type one tympanoplasty performed with a modified cartilage-perichondrium composite 'ring' graft, and to compare them with results for primary type one tympanoplasty performed with temporalis fascia, in children.Study design:Retrospective clinical study.Setting:Otolaryngology department, Tanta University Hospital, Egypt.Patients and methods:Records were evaluated for 82 children with dry tympanic membrane perforation (any size) and intact ossicular chain, and with no history of previous ear surgery except for tympanostomy. Patients of similar age and middle-ear pathology were selected to make the two groups as homogeneous as possible. An underlay type one tympanoplasty, using either a ring graft or temporalis fascia, was performed: 40 children were included in the ring graft group and 42 in the temporalis fascia group. All procedures were performed by the same surgeon. A successful anatomical outcome was considered to comprise full, intact healing of the graft without perforation, retraction, lateralisation or blunting, for at least one year post-operatively. Patients' post-operative pure tone average air-bone gap and speech reception threshold were compared with pre-operative levels, within and between the two groups.Results:Type one tympanoplasty using a ring graft technique resulted in a significantly greater graft acceptance rate (95 per cent) compared with the temporalis fascia technique (76.2 per cent; p < 0.01). Pure tone average air-bone gap and speech reception threshold levels improved significantly in both the ring graft and fascia groups (p < 0.001). There was no significant difference in audiometric results between the two groups (p > 0.05), although there was a trend towards better post-operative results in the ring group.Conclusion:In our paediatric patients, type one tympanoplasty with a modified cartilage-perichondrium composite ring graft yielded good anatomical and functional results. The anatomical results obtained using this graft (with its unique appearance and stability during and after surgery) were superior to those for temporalis fascia. The ring graft group had equivalent, if not better, post-operative audiometric results, compared with the temporalis fascia group. Thus, the ring graft is believed to be effective in enabling both tympanic membrane closure and rapid hearing improvement, in the paediatric population.

Plunging ranula: congenital or acquired?

Plunging ranula: congenital or acquired?
Morton RP, Ahmad Z, Jain P.
Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, Manukau DHB, Manukau City, New Zealand. RPMorton@middlemore.co.nz
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To review our clinical experience with plunging ranula and examine the evidence in support of our impression that plunging ranula has a genetic basis. STUDY DESIGN: Case series with chart review. SETTING: Secondary otolaryngology service. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: Review of the medical records of a clinical series of 80 consecutive plunging ranulas in 77 patients was conducted, with recording of clinical and radiological findings, surgical treatment, and outcome. A literature review using MEDLINE and OLD MEDLINE was performed. RESULTS: The majority of plunging ranulas had no intraoral component on clinical examination, although evidence of mucus extravasation from the sublingual gland could be found both radiologically and histologically in all cases. There were four patients with bilateral plunging ranula and one instance of siblings with unilateral plunging ranula. Maoris and Polynesians comprised more than 82 percent of our cases; this was a significant overrepresentation of these ethnic groups (P < 0.0001). A very strong predominance of cases of Chinese origin was also evident in the literature. CONCLUSION: The clinical findings and the supporting data from the literature, when viewed in light of information relating to the known anatomical anomaly of a dehiscence in the mylohyoid muscle and ectopic sublingual gland lying below the plane of the mylohyoid, appear to support the case for a genetic basis for this unusual clinical entity.

Doctor, listen to your patients-Dr Paulose
“Of all the science that a physician acquires, of all the skills mastered, listening is by far the most difficult. The seemingly simple act demands the most consummate artistry. Listening demands intense cultivation, similar to that of musical virtuosity. One learns to be attentive to the fluttering eyelid, to the inaudible sigh, to the unshed tear. To ancient Sumerians the word for ear and for wisdom was the same. Proper listening enables one to comprehend the unique narrative of another human being. Even at its scientific best, medicine is dependent on the intimate story. For doctors this is an exhilarating act of discovery; for patients it identifies a healer. Medicine is ultimately a social discipline. It begins with a unique story from a fellow human being craving help”

X-Ray Nasopharynx for Adenoids-Dr. Ajay Jain
X-Ray Nasopharynx for Adenoids
I really do not understand why most ENT Doctors and most radiologist are obsessed with doing X-Ray Adenoid with mouth open. In my opinion, this X-Ray should be done with mouth closed and slight extension. I am saying so because
Closed mouth is more physiological position.
By closing the mouth, you let air enter into nasopharynx, which creates a natural air contrast.
Open mouth push the soft palate posteriorly futher compromising the airway.
So Dear ENT Friends, Please do a digital X-ray with mouth open and mouth closed and see yourself the results.
