Filter by:The study planned to compare the internal nasal valve angle measurements of patients who underwent preservation rhinoplasty before and after surgery.
The Novapak study is a prospective, observational, multi-site, non-controlled, non-randomized, case-series, with a 2 week and 1-month follow-up in adults undergoing nasal/sinus surgery with Novapak Nasal Sinus Packing and Stent device used as indicated post-operatively and is being conducted to obtain clinical data on the safety and effectiveness of the Novapak device under use as intended in the device indications.
The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of nasal desobstruction surgery (septoplasty, septorhinoplasty or total ethmoidectomy) on sleep quality, assessed by the variation of the Wake after sleep onset (WASO), in patients presenting with sleep disorders and severe nasal obstruction.
One of this method's drawbacks is the healing of cauterized cartilage after processing. It was reported that the healing is so slow as no dosage form can reach this place in addition to the scares produced from healing is very irritable to the patient. From this point, the investigators start searching for a solution to this problem and reach the repositioning of Vitamin D3 (calciferol) as an active ingredient for the rapidity and efficacy of burn healing. The dosage form of choice that was reported before for intranasal application by the same team of investigators and gave good results. the intranasal films were proved for its convince, simplicity, efficacy, and compliance to patients.
The purpose of the research is to assess the effectiveness of a dose of intravenous tranexamic acid (TXA) given intraoperatively to reduce postoperative bleeding after endoscopic sinus or nasal surgery (e.g. septoplasty, endoscopic sinus surgery, turbinate surgery). This medication has been shown to decrease blood loss during this type of surgery, but the implications for bleeding following surgery are unclear. Any impact on postoperative bleeding will be assessed over the first 7 days following surgery leading up to the first scheduled postoperative clinic visit. Patients will keep a standardized daily diary of their bleeding experience by indicating on a 0-10 visual analog scale (VAS) their impression of their bleeding. The primary outcome is the patient-reported visual analog scale (VAS) bleeding score on each day after surgery. The secondary outcomes include the the frequency with which the otolaryngology resident service is requested to evaluate patients in the recovery unit for postoperative bleeding concerns and the frequency of interventions such as application of hemostatic materials, packing, cautery, and/or return to the operating room.
A Prospective, Multicenter, Non-Randomized Study of the Aerin Medical Vivaer ARC Stylus for Nasal Airway Obstruction
Pathological-anatomical changes in the nasal cavity (nasal septum/perforation, mucosal hypertrophy) negatively affect nasal airflow, increase resistance - cause nasal obstruction and are often an indication for surgery. The aim of the study is to examine nasal airflow parameters after septoplasty and turbinoplasty .
The research team has developed a prototype for an investigational mechanical nasal dilator and the investigators aim to evaluate its efficacy. Specifically, the investigators wish to address the following research questions: 1) How does mechanical nasal obstruction affect patients' lives? The investigators aim to answer this question with use of validated questionnaires. 2) How do currently available mechanical nasal dilators affect objective and subjective findings related to nasal obstruction? This will be evaluated with objective nasal airflow testing and with modifications to validated questionnaires 3) How does the investigational team's novel device affect these same outcome measures? 4) Do patients find the investigational device subjectively comfortable and efficient?
Adenotomy, together with tonsillectomy, belongs among the most frequently performed surgical procedures in paediatric patients. These surgical procedures are associated with the second highest incidence of post-operative nausea and vomiting (PONV) (following strabism correction surgery) in paediatric surgery. PONV is associated, apart from the discomfort for the child, with a number of complications: dehydration, metabolic disruption or danger of haemorrhage and aspiration of the gastric content. Adenotomy is a typologically completely different surgical procedure, with a different target structure of the surgery, and the length and invasiveness of the procedure. Thus, it is possible to expect a difference in PONV incidence when compared to tonsillectomy. Adenotomy is a surgical procedure performed namely in children of the pre-school age. This is associated, among others, also with the problem of objectivization of post-operative nausea, which is very difficult to verbalize in small children, being a subjective feeling of body discomfort. It is possible to expect that the overall incidence of PONV will be significantly underestimated.
Nasal obstruction is a very subjective sensation but it's also a frequent reason of consultation. Two specific questionnaire NOSE and RhinoQOL were validated; but rhinomanometry value is still a question to debate. As well as the difference between acoustic rhinometry and rhinomanometry. Usually nasal obstruction due to a septal deviation is treated by septoplasty. If the anatomic result can be proved true, the patient's felt would be unsuccessful. The aim of this study is to assess the impact of septoplasty on the nasal obstruction, objectively by rhinometry and subjectively by questionnaire.
