    Is Transnasal Endoscopic Examination Necessary Before and After Adenoidectomy?
    (2014) Yıldırım, Yavuz Selim; Apuhan, Tayfun; Aksoy, Fadlullah; Veyseller, Bayram; Özturan, Orhan
    The present study aimed to investigate the amount of residual adenoid tissue following the conventional adenoidectomy as compared with preoperative values. A total of 32 girls and 44 boys (range, 3-15 years) in whom adenoidectomy procedure was planned were included in the study. Adenoid tissue sizes before adenoidectomy and residual tissue sizes after conventional curettage adenoidectomy were measured by transnasal endoscopic examination and were recorded. Adenoid tissue size before and after adenoidectomy was compared. The mean age of the patients was 7.7 years (range, 3-15 years). Before adenoidectomy grade 4 adenoid tissue was noted in 43.4% (n = 33), grade 3 was noted in 28.9% (n = 22), grade 2 was noted in 25% (n = 19), and grade 1 was noted in 2.6% (n = 2) of the patients. Following adenoidectomy, no significant difference was noted with respect to residual adenoid tissue sizes of grade 4 and grade 3 patients (P = 0.75, P = 0.76). Transnasal endoscopic examination is suggested to be the most appropriate method to assess the amount of residual adenoid tissue after conventional curettage adenoidectomy. The residual adenoid tissue with the help of a microdebrider in case of a large residual adenoid tissue located in the choana are necessary for complete adenoidectomy. © 2012 Association of Otolaryngologists of India.

    Severe saddle nose : choices for augmentation and application of accordion technique against warping
    (Springer, 2013) Özturan, Orhan; Aksoy, Fadlullah; Veyseller, Bayram; Apuhan, Tayfun; Yıldırım, Yavuz Selim
    Saddle nose deformity presents a significant challenge to surgeons. The reconstruction of a saddle nose requires structural addition to the nasal dorsum and tip. Costal cartilage grafts have been utilized for fixing severe saddle nose deformity, but costal cartilage is notorious for early and/or late warping. In addition to well-known measures, the efficacy of a preventive surgical technique against warping was investigated in this study. Costal cartilage grafts were used in 18 patients with severe saddle noses. Due to recurrent and late warping of the grafts, an additional measure was taken in 23 patients with a comparable deformity. In these 23 patients, just before insertion the costal cartilage was transected on 75 % of its horizontal width every 2 mm, alternating between both sides along the entire length of the implant, a so-called "accordion technique." With traditional measures early and/or late warping of the graft was observed in 7 (39 %) of 18 patients postoperatively. Two grafts warped so severely that they required revision surgery. On the other hand, additional use of the accordion technique prevented the costal cartilage from warping in all 23 cases. The warping complication rate was significantly higher in patients whose graft did not undergo the described accordion technique. The accordion technique is thought to break the recoil mechanism responsible for warping. Since incorporating this surgical technique, warping has not been seen in any saddle nose deformity patients treated by us in the last 5 years. This simple technique is strongly recommended in these cases. This journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.
