Otosclerosis Treatment Nisantasi

Otosclerosis, is the most common cause of stapedial ankylosis (or stapedial fixation). Its cause is unknown and resulting conductive hearing loss. Different ENT surgeons use a variety of terms for partial stapedectomy such as stapedotomy, stapes replacement, teflon piston procedure, small fenestration technique, etc. Audiological investigations which are, pure tone odiogram, speech odiograms, impedance audiometry, stapedial reflex tests, tuning work tests must be done. Radiological investigation includes high resolution CT scan and Schueller's graphy to acces the congenital inner ear anomalies and to demonstrate the cochlear otosclerosis. Stapedectomy may be carried out either under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia. After surgery, if you have a head dressing, remove it on the second post operative day. A cotton ball in the ear opening will be found when the dressing is removed. Please remove the cotton plug on the second day after surgery. You may see further packing in your ear canal. Leave this until your post-op visit. I prefer Kurz Medical and Medtronic products for stapes prosthesis.

Rhinoplasty or nose job is a surgical prcedure to correcting and reconstructing with restoring the functions of the nose. The main objective of rhinoplasty is creating a functional, aesthetic and facially proportionate nose. Rhinoplasty can be performed using general or local anesthesia. It is usually done as an outpatient procedure but sometimes requires one day staying in the hospital. Two methods used for rhinoplasty: 1 - closed rhinoplasty2 - open rhinoplasty In the closed technique rhinoplasty, postoperative edema is expected to be less because of less tissue trauma, anatomical structures evaluation is more difficult from the open technique. In the open technique rhinoplasty, nasal skin is dissected, the nasal cartilages visible, anatomical structures are more easily seen. The skin of the nose is separated from the nasal bone and cartilages. The surgeons experience and expertise is important other factor in the selection of the technique. Often surgery takes between 1-3 hours. postoperative nasal Silicone splints, absorbable buffer is placed in the nose; bandages and external splints are placed out of the nose. We are performing rhinoplasty surgeries in high-quality, international hospitals which are located at Istanbul. We can perform all nasal surgeries (nasal tip surgery, nasal tip upgrading, septoplasty, turbinate radiofrequency operations ... etc.) together nose esthetic operation. surgeries can make in hospitals which close to spectacular coastal views, historic buildings, natural regional foods and touristic facilities. We use to minimally invasive techniques thus the time that you prefer for the treatment and healing process can be use for the holidays and pastime. Many patients can go to shopping malls one day after surgery.

Tonsils and Adenoids Tonsils and adenoids are the elements of Waldeyer's lymphatic ring which settled in oral and nasopharyngeal region. Both are play role in immunity against airborne microorganisms which inhaled through the mouth and nose. The tonsils are located on both sides of the back of the throat. The other names of adenoid are pharyngeal tonsil and nasopharyngeal tonsil. This lymphatic tissue is situated posterior of the nasal cavity, the roof of the nasopharyngeal area. The eustachian tubes is opened to the nasal cavity in this region. Why Tonsils and Adenoid Enlarged? Tonsils and adenoid can grow depending on the recurrent infections and genetic causes. Living in crowded environments (such as kindergarten), exposure to cigarette smoke, atopy can be facilitated to lymphatic tissue growth. Although extremely rare, cancer sometimes causes enlarged tonsils or adenoids. Symptoms of Enlarged Tonsils and Adenoid The tonsils and adenoid are settled on the airways. Most enlarged tonsils and adenoids cause no symptoms. However, when they grow up in addition to breathing problems, ear and sinus related problems also can be seen.Enlarged tonsils and adenoids may cause the following problems:- Chronic ear infections and hearing loss: These problems result from blockage of the eustachian tube and fluid accumulation in the middle ear.- Recurrent sinus infections- Obstructive sleep apnea- Discomfort when talking and breathing- Difficulty swallowing- Severe respiratory distress (in young infants)- Bad breath- Sleeping with your mouth open - Sweating during sleep - Daytime sleepiness / Decrease in sleep quality - Decrease in school performance (for children) - Increased risk of traffic accidents (for adults)- Swollen lymph nodes (glands) in the neck- Nose sounds "blocked" when the person speaks- Noisy breathing during the day-
