BACKGROUND In this study, we aimed to present a novel application and use of Kirschner wire-guided suturing that is less invasive and allows permanent fixation for nasal dorsal reconstruction. METHODS A total of 23 patients, who underwent surgery between 2009 and 2013, were included in this study: 19 with saddle nose deformity and 4 patients with keystone area damage, or collapse of the dorsal nasal support during primary septoplasty or rhinoplasty. The patients were asked to fill out a nasal obstruction symptom evaluation (NOSE) scale preoperatively and at the postoperative sixth month to assess breathing quality. The patients were followed up for complications such as nasal dorsal contour irregularity, dorsal collapse, as well as graft malposition and infections. The results of the surgeries were assessed on the basis of preoperative and postoperative examinations, septal support test, NOSE scale results, and photographic comparison. RESULTS The mean (SD) NOSE scales were 78.91 (10.09) and 30.48 (10.71) in the preoperative and postoperative periods, respectively. The difference of mean NOSE scale was statistically significant (P < 0.001). None of the patients experienced nasal dorsal collapse or graft malposition. Two patients had nasal dorsal irregularity complaints owing to inadequate costal cartilage edge beveling. None of the patients had complications of suture reaction, suture visibility, or suture extrusion. All of the patients stated that they were happy with the cosmetic outcome. CONCLUSIONS Permanent sutures introduced through channels made with the Kirschner wire provide a less invasive, cosmetically pleasing, and functional solution, promising more reliable results in the long term.

WOS: 000347418800005 PubMed ID: 25422366 Halitosis and olfactory dysfunction may disrupt an individual's quality of life remarkably. One may ask whether halitosis has effects on olfactory functions or not? Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the olfactory abilities of subjects with chronic halitosis evaluated using the measurements of volatile sulfur compounds. This study was carried out in 77 subjects, with a mean age of 40.1 +/- 13.3 years, ranging from 18 to 65 years. Forty-three participants were diagnosed as halitosis according to the gas chromatography results and constituted the halitosis group. Also, a control group was created from individuals without a complaint of halitosis and also who had normal values for volatile sulfur compounds. Each subject's orthonasal olfactory and retronasal olfactory functions were assessed using "Sniffin' Sticks" and retronasal olfactory testing. The results showed that odor threshold scores were lower in participants with halitosis compared with controls. Also, hyposmia was seen more common in the halitosis group than in controls. Moreover, a significant negative correlation was found between odor threshold scores and volatile sulfur compounds levels, particularly with hydrogen sulfide and dimethyl sulfide levels. The results suggest that the chronic presence of volatile sulfur compounds may have a negative effect on olfactory function.

Patients with olfactory dysfunction benefit from repeated exposure to odors, so-called olfactory training (OT). This does not mean occasional smelling but the structured sniffing of a defined set of odors, twice daily, for a period of 4 months or longer. In this prospective study, we investigated whether the effect of OT might increase through the use of more odors and extension of the training period.This study shows OT results when performed with four or 12 odors for 36 weeks in patients with postinfectious olfactory dysfunction. A total of 85 subjects participated (mean age 45.6 ± 10.5 years, range 24-68 years). Three groups were formed: 1) In the modified olfactory training (MOT) group, patients used three sets of four different odors sequentially. 2) Participants in the classical odor training (COT) group used four odors. 3) Participants in the control group did not perform OT. All groups were matched for age and sex distribution of participants.Both participants in the COT and MOT groups reached better scores than controls in terms of odor discrimination and odor identification. Continuing OT with four different odors after the 12th and 24th weeks produced better results in terms of odor discrimination and odor identification scores as compared to using the same four odors throughout the entire study.This study confirmed the effectiveness of OT. Increasing the duration of OT and changing the odors enhances the success rate of this therapy.2b. Laryngoscope, 125:1763-1766, 2015.

Objective To evaluate long-term results of septal bone grafting and to show sustainable viability of bone grafts with objective parameters such as computed tomography. Methods Nasal septal bones were used as splinting grafts during septo/rhinoplasty operations in 27 patients (Male = 16; Female = 11) between 2009 and 2013. Of these, only the 21 patients who were monitored long-term and who had computed tomography (CT) records were included in this investigation. The average duration of monitoring for the patients reported here was 17 (12–37 months) months. Patients were excluded for the following reasons: pregnancy; morbid obesity; uncontrolled diabetes; long-term oral steroid or chemotherapeutic agent use; inflammatory, systemic or immunodeficiency disease or acute local infections at the operative site. Bone graft positions, lengths and respective resorption were evaluated and compared pre-postoperatively for each patient. Results Bone grafts retained 90% of their lengths in 14 of the 21 (66.6%) patients. In other cases, control computed sinus tomography showed four bone grafts at 80%, two grafts with 70%, and one graft retained 60% of the original lengths. None of the grafts showed resorption less than 50%. Conclusion Bone grafts are reliable grafts and can be used as an alternative to cartilage grafts.

- Abstract
Our aim was to investigate the relationship between facial canal dehiscence (FCD) and surgical findings and procedures in patients with cholesteatoma. A total of 186 patients (118 males, 39.2 ± 15 years) who underwent surgery for advanced cholesteatoma between 2013 and 2018 were included in the study. The relationship between FCD and surgical findings was investigated via the surgical registries. The prevalence of FCD was 36.6% (68/186). The prevalence of FCD was 44%, and 13.2% for the patients who underwent canal wall down mastoidectomy (62/141) and canal wall up mastoidectomy (6/45), respectively ( P < .001). Facial canal dehiscence was detected in 73.9% of the 23 patients who had a lateral semicircular canal (LSCC) defect ( P < .001), in 61.9% of 21 patients who had a tegmen tympani defect, and in 58.1% of the 31 patients who had erosion on the posterior wall of the external auditory canal (EAC; P < .05). The prevalence of FCD was 3.1% in patients with isolated incus erosion, 59.1% in patients with erosion of malleus and incus, 60.7% in patients with erosion of stapes suprastructure and incus, and 43.2% in patients with whole ossicular chain deformation ( P < .001). The defects on LSCC, EAC, tegmen tympani, and malleus and incus might be cautionary findings for the presence of FCD during cholesteatoma surgery.

- Abstract
Smoking is known to increase laryngeal inflammation and laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR), which cause laryngeal irritation. Thus, the aim of this study is to evaluate the changes in the symptoms and the findings of laryngeal irritation in smokers after a smoking cessation period. The reflux symptom index (RSI) and the reflux finding score (RFS) were used for evaluating the symptoms and findings of laryngeal irritation in smokers. Endoscopic examination of the laryngeal structures for RFS and symptom inquiry for RSI were performed at the beginning of the study and after a 2 months of cigarette cessation period. This study was carried out in 24 volunteers (14 female and 10 male), between the ages of 24 and 62 years. When we compared the results of RSI and RFS that were performed before and after the cigarette cession period, we found that there was a significant improvement both in RSI and in RFS ( P < .001 and P < .001, respectively). Also, there was significant correlation between the cigarette smoking period and RFS score that was determined at the beginning of the study ( P = .006, r = .54). A significant improvement was found both in RSI and in RFS after smoking cessation period, which might be the evidence of improvement in laryngeal irritation possibly caused by inflammation due to smoking and LPR. A significant positive correlation was found between smoking period and RFS, especially with vocal fold edema and posterior commissure hypertrophy.

Objective: To compare the graft success and hearing results in patients who underwent cartilage island graft (CIG) myringoplasty and temporal muscle fascia graft (TFG) myringoplasty., Study Design: Retrospective clinical study., Place and Duration of Study: Ankara Numune Training and Research Hospital, Otolaryngology Clinic, Ankara, from January 2013 to January 2018., Methodology: Patients who underwent cartilage island graft myringoplasty and temporal muscle graft myringoplasty for chronic non-suppurative otitis media were inducted. Age, gender, preoperative audiologic examination results, postoperative audiologic examination, perforation site, graft material, preoperative microscopic examination and graft success were documented., Results: A total of 116 patients were included in the study. The mean age of the patients was 35 ±15.3 years. Fifty-four patients were females and 62 were males. Temporal muscle fascia graft was applied to 68 (58.6%) patients, while cartilage graft was applied to 48 (41.4%) patients. The success rate of graft was found to be 80.2% (55 cases with graft success) in TFG; whereas, this rate was found to be 93.8% (45 cases with graft success) in CIG group. Cartilage island graft material had a better graft success in terms of graft endurance (p = 0.048). There was no statistically significant difference between the two graft materials in terms of postoperative hearing success (p = 0.29)., Conclusion: Cartilage island grafts can be preferable for myringoplasty operations.

- Abstract
Aim: The aim of this retrospective study was to investigate possible factors affecting the survival in patients who were operated due to laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) MATERIAL AND METHOD: The study included patients who underwent surgery in our clinic due to laryngeal SCC between May 2010 and June 2018. It was learned whether the patients were alive or not by hospital records, death notification system records and patient / family interviews. Surgical reports, pathology reports, tumor clinical council notes and preoperative hematological examinations were retrospectively evaluated and recorded from the hospital registry system., Results: The mean age of the 63 patients included in the study was 59.3 (age range; 38 to 83 years). The mean postoperative follow-up period was 56.8 months (minimum 6 months to maximum 102 months). We found that surgical margin positivity had a statistically significant negative negative effect on survival (p = 0.049, r = -0.26). Perineural invasion, perivascular invasion, the presence of neck metastasis and the effect of tumor differentiation on survival were not found to be statistically significant (p values; 0.9, 0.1, 0.9 and 0.4, respectively)., Conclusion: The absence of a tumor at the surgical margin is one of the most basic rules in oncologic surgery., Key Words: Laryngeal carcinoma, Oncologic surgery, Survival, Surgical Margin.

- Abstract
BACKGROUND Nasal septal perforation (NSP) may alter nasal airflow patterns and physiology. To the best of our knowledge, no studies in the English literature have investigated the effect of NSP and its treatment on polysomnographic parameters. In this study, we aimed to investigate polysomnographic parameters in patients with NSP as well as changes in those parameters after treatment of NSP. MATERIAL AND METHODS Nineteen patients diagnosed with NSP were included in the study. All patients had baseline and post-procedure polysomnographies (PSG) after insertion of silicone septal button for closure of NSP. RESULTS Both median AHI [5.30 (14.40) vs. 2.40 (14.50)] and median supine AHI [10.00 (42.10) vs. 6.60 (37.00)] decreased after correction of the perforation. There was a large reduction in median supine AHI in patients with a perforation size >66 mm2 [10.10 (34.15) vs. 1.60 (28.30)]. CONCLUSIONS We conclude that NSP did not cause any deterioration in objective sleep parameters as determined by PSG, other than a decrease in REM sleep duration and an increase in supine AHI. Correction of NSP did not affect REM duration and supine AHI decreased after treatment.

- Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of olfactory dysfunction on quality of life (QOL), and to investigate olfactory dysfunction related self-reported clinical features in Turkish population. The participants were questioned about the presence of any olfactory dysfunction. Participants with a complaint of olfactory dysfunction were asked to fill out a survey and then a validated olfactory test was performed. We asked 2,824 volunteers whether they had olfactory dysfunctions or not. A total of 199 (6.7 %) people mentioned that they had, and filled out the questions in our survey. The mean age of the surveyed population was 44 ± 15 years. The current investigation produced four major findings (1) the feeling of inadequacy due to olfactory dysfunction was more common among females than males (2) there was a significant correlation between subjective olfactory complaints and objective olfactory testing (3) problems in QOL issues are typically reported primarily in the areas of safety and nutrition (4) the possible reasons for the olfactory dysfunction according to the volunteers were upper respiratory infections including rhinosinusitis (46 %), allergic rhinitis (27 %), severe face and head trauma (6.5 %). The effect of subjective olfactory dysfunctions on QOL among the Turkish population was investigated for the first time. Problems in daily life issues are typically reported primarily in the areas of safety and nutrition.

- Abstract
Introduction: Dental implants have been associated with the occurrence of postoperative rhinosinusitis. In some patients, preoperative sinus lifting must be performed to increase the chances of successful implant placement. This retrospective study examines the relationship of dental implants after sinus lifting with the occurrence of postoperative rhinosinusitis., Methods: A total of 268 dental implants were inserted in 94 patients (62 Males, 32 Females) between 2011-2013. The ages ranged from 29-71 (in males) and 33-64 (in females). Additionally, bilateral sinus lifing was performed in 51 patients, and unilateral sinus lifting was performed in 43 of the patients. Patients were evaluated for sinus pathology for a period of 5-47 months postoperatively using a satisfaction questionnaire, conventional radiographic examination, and nasal endoscopic examination., Results: Four of the patients (4.2%) had a complication of postoperative sinusitis and were treated medically. In one patient, the implant was unsuccessful (even after treatment) and was removed. None of the patients needed surgery due to the sinusitis or any associated complications., Conclusion: The risk for postoperative rhinosinusitis was found to be higher in patients who suffer from chronic sinusitis and in cases in which a large amount of graft was utilized for sinus lifting. These predisposing factors need to be considered when evaluating patients for dental implants and sinus lift procedures.

- Abstract
Our aim was to evaluate acoustic voice analysis of patients diagnosed with nasal polyps before and after endoscopic sinus surgery. Forty-three patients diagnosed with nasal polyposis who had undergone endoscopic sinus surgery were included in this prospective study. Patients were divided into three groups according to the stage of nasal obstruction before the surgery. Acoustic voice analyses were performed on each patient before the endoscopic sinus surgery and six weeks following the surgery with the multi-dimensional voice program. Jitter, shimmer, F0 frequency, and noise to harmonic ratio (NHR) parameters were obtained for acoustic analysis. Our investigation showed that Jitter, shimmer and NHR values decreased, and F0 value increased in the postoperative period in patients that had a partial nasal obstruction before the surgery. Non-significant increases were also observed in these four parameters after the surgery in cases with total or near-total nasal obstruction. We also found that the postoperative changes in shimmer values between the Stage III patients and the patients in other stages were statistically significant (P = 0.027). Voice changes that became more marked with increasing stages of the nasal polyposis. According to our results, patients should be informed of the possible alterations in speech following major surgical interventions on the paranasal sinuses.

- Abstract
Background: The aim of this study was: (1) to perform a preliminary study for the validation of ''retronasal olfactory testing'' in the Turkish population to find the best way to evaluate smell and taste disorders in Turkey; (2) to determine if cultural differences make application of the test more difficult; and (3) to determine the flavors that participants had not yet tasted by using the survey method., Material and Methods: The study included 330 volunteers. Orthonasal olfactory function was assessed psycho-physically using the "Sniffin' Sticks" olfactory test. Retronasal olfaction was assessed using a collection of 20 available food powders applied to the oral cavity. Also, all participants filled in a questionnaire of 50 items about the flavors they had not tasted before., Results: The mean age of the participants was 26 ± 7.3 years. Participants were divided into 3 groups according to the "Sniffin' Sticks" test results: anosmia, hyposmia, and normosmia groups. Differences in retronasal olfaction scores were significant among the 3 groups., Conclusions: The retronasal olfactory test appeared to perform well, but modifications of odorized powders or granules and distracters used in the retronasal olfactory test, taking into account Turkish cultural differences, is likely to improve its performance.
