Perioperative, anaesthetic and special technical aspects of endoscopic surgery of the paranasal sinuses are presented, which helped to reduce intraoperative bleeding and consequently shortened the time of surgery. The realization of certain operative steps has helped to ease the postoperative care accelerating the healing process in more than 400 cases.
As an alternative method to endoscopic endonasal surgery of the paranasal sinuses the authors present their technique based on the use of a microscope with the help of a 25 degrees-30 degrees rigid endoscope to visualize anatomic sites which cannot be reached by microscope. This technique is called "Combined endonasal microsurgery" (CENM). Aspects of the anesthesia and the surgical procedure are discussed. With the combined technique described the goals of the endoscopic endonasal surgery may be achieved as well, being especially interesting for cases with large naso-sinusal polyposis.
The results obtained in a microbiological survey carried out with 102 samples of otic effusions taken from 95 outdoor patients in a ORL surgery are shown. Sixty-eight of these patients had supurative otitis media symptoms and 25 had diffuse otitis externa. Results of microbiological cultures are commented according to different statistics variables (age, sex, supuration time and type of tympanic perforation) and compared with the results obtained by other authors.
We evaluated the rabbit (New Zealand) as an experimental animal in reconstructive laryngeal surgery. We report our experience and describe features of rabbit anatomy and surgery.
