Opis:
CRS symptoms in children can be mild and uncharacteristic. The disease is multifactorial, and therefore requires a multifaceted, multidisciplinary approach. Treatment of CRS in children is difficult, infections often recur, and treatment methods are often ineffective. In children, surgery is performed infrequently, only when other therapies have failed. The first stage of surgery is adenoidectomy. Functional endoscopic surgery of the paranasal sinuses may be considered if no improvement of the patient after exhausting all possibilities of conservative treatment.

Opis:
Background: Many patients with chronic pancreatitis are elected for surgery when endoscopic interventions are ineffective. Duodenum preserving pancreatic head resection introduced by Charles F. Frey is the most common procedure used for surgical treatment of chronic pancreatitis. However, technical aspects of this procedure have not been studied extensively. Goal Our prospective randomized study is aimed to compare usage of single-layer continuous (I group) and two-layer interrupted sutures (II group) in constructing pancreatojejunostomy after Frey procedure. Methods and materials: In a period between 2009 and 2016, a total of 103 patients, diagnosed with chronic pancreatitis and determined medical indications for surgical treatment were included into the study and randomized into group I (52 patients) and group II (51 patients). Preoperative, intraoperative patient characteristics and postoperative results were compared between both groups. Results: Mean duration of surgery was statistically shorter in group I – 210 min, while in group II – 240 min (p = 0.004). Pancreatojejunoanastomosis construction time was shorter in group I – 19 (±6) min versus 51 (±18) min in group II, p <0,001. No statistically relevant differences were observed in postoperative morbidity: group I – 51.9% and group II – 45,1% (p = 0.177) and mortality: group I – 3.8% and group II – 2% (p = 0.636). Conclusions: Frey procedure using single-layer continuous pancreatojejunostomy is safe, fast and less complex method in surgical treatment of chronic pancreatitis.

Background: Bacterial biofilms have been linked to recurrent adenotonsillar diseases, with special concern regarding therapeutic management hindered by antibiotic resistance. Aims: we aimed to find if there was a relationship between the presence of a bacterial biofilm and the development of cervical lymphadenopthy, tonsillar hypertrophy and adenoid hypertrophy in patients with chronic tonsillitis. Patients and Methods: Tissue samples from tonsillar biopsies of 30 children who underwent tonsillectomy were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Settings and Design: This cross-sectional study was conducted between August 2012 and July 2015 in Al-Azhar University Hospitals. Results: It was found that 23.3% of children had a fully formed bacterial biofilm (Grade III), 6.7% had grade I and 6.7% had grade II biofilms as demonstrated by SEM. Staphylococcus aureus was the most common identified isolate (26%) followed by Coagulase-negative Staphylococci (17.4%) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (10.4%). No statistically significant difference regarding the presence of a bacterial biofilm and the development of cervical lymphadenopthy, tonsillar hypertrophy or adenoid hypertrophy was found. Conclusion: Bacterial biofilm is a possible cause of the chronicity of tonsillar diseases in children. There is no relationship between the presence of a bacterial biofilm and the development of of cervical lymphadenopthy, tonsillar hypertrophy or adenoid hypertrophy.

Opis:
Introduction: Ossiculoplasty can be carried out in a number of ways, depending on the anatomical and functional conditions encountered during otosurgery and the experience of a given centre. The extent of damage to the ossicular chain determines the reconstruction method. Aim: The objective of the study was to analyse treatment effects in terms of postoperative hearing improvement in patients with chronic otitis media, with a particular emphasis on stapedial superstructure preservation. Material and method: The records of 294 consecutive patients undergoing their first ENT surgery due to chronic otitis media at the Department of Otolaryngology of Collegium Medicum, Jagiellonian University of Kraków in 2009–2013 were analysed. In order to assess the role of preserved stapedial superstructure, 96 patients were eligible for further analysis. Results: The analysis points to a significant hearing improvement after ossiculoplasty with the preserved stapedial superstructure as compared with the patients after footplate mobilisation. On the other hand, the research results point to significantly smaller hearing improvement in those patients, in whom only stapes was preserved, as compared with those, in whom a more extensive reconstruction of the ossicular chain was possible. Conclusions: The air-bone gap measured before otosurgery often fails to reflect the extent of abnormalities and cannot, therefore, be considered as the only prognostic factor for postoperative hearing improvement. Stapes preservation is crucial for hearing improvement after middle ear surgery.

Opis:
CRS is a process involving a number of adverse changes in the mucosa of the paranasal sinuses and nasal polyps, e.g. increased fibroblast proliferation, angiogenesis, increased formation of fibrous tissue (subepithelial fibrosis) and tissue destruction. There are biomarkers whose levels can be increased in chronic inflammation of the paranasal sinuses: peripheral blood eosinophilia, IgE immunoglobulin, cytokines – IL-4, IL-5, IL-13, IL-25, IL-33, periostin, P-glycoprotein, CXCL-12, CXCL-13, INF-Υ, TNFα, TGFβ1, albumins, eotaxin. These biomarkers are not pathognomonic for CRS. The concentration of biomarkers is also increased in bronchial asthma and atopic dermatitis. The TGFβ, in particular the β1 subunit, was identified as the main factor involved in the remodelling of tissue stroma. In conjunction with continuous improvement of tissue testing methods, it is advisable to search for new factors that will more accurately allow the assessment of tissue remodelling in the chronic processes of paranasal sinuses.

Introduction: The aim of the middle ear surgery is to eliminate abnormalities from the mucous, ensure the due airing of the postoperative cavity and reconstruct the sound-conducting system in the middle ear. Numerous reports can be found in literature on the changes to bone conduction as a consequence of middle ear surgery. Study objective: The aim of the work is to define the factors that affect bone conduction in the patients operated on due to the perforation of the tympanic membrane with the preserved and normal mobile ossicular chain. Material and method: A prospective analysis of patients operated on due to diseases of the middle ear in 2009–2012 was carried out. The cases of patients operated on for the first time due to chronic otitis media were taken into consideration. The analysis encompassed the patients who had undergone myringoplasty. The patients were divided into several groups taking into account the abnormalities of the mucous observed during otosurgery. Results: A significant improvement of bone conduction was observed in the patients with dry perforation, without other lesions in the middle ear. The appropriate pharmacological treatment before otosurgery in patients with permanent discharge from the ear resulted in significant bone conduction improvement. The elimination of granulation lesions turned out to be a positive factor for the future improvement of the function of the inner ear. Conclusions: The lack of abnormalities on the mucous of the middle ear (e.g. granulation,) and discharge has a positive impact on improvement of bone conduction after myringoplasty. Adhesions in the tympanic cavity, especially in the niche of the round window, have a negative impact on improvement of bone conduction in patients after myringoplasty.

Introduction: Chronic rhinosinusitis is an important disease of the upper respiratory system which substantially reduces patient quality of life and the methods of symptomatic treatment are tremendously limited. Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the next therapeutic option which is a combination of respiratory rehabilitation and subterraneotherapy. Material and methods: The study covered 57 patients of whom 15 were men and 42 women. The average age of patients was 60 +/- 10.87 (standard deviation). 44 patients finished 15 days of therapy which covers full-time treatment. The average age of these patients was 59.7 +/- 11.6 (standard deviation). Results: In the study group, there was a statistically significant reduction among all analyzed symptoms of chronic rhinosinusitis. The general severity of symptoms decreased from 5.66 cm to 2.57 cm (p < 0.001), blockade/congestion of the nose from 5.49 to 2.23 cm (p < 0.001), anterior nasal discharge from 5.33 cm to 2.5 cm (p < 0.001), posterior nasal discharge from 6.04 cm to 2.71 cm (p < 0.001), facial pain/pressure from 3.43 cm to 1.45 cm (p < 0.001), headache from 3.73 cm to 1.19 cm (p < 0.001) and reduction or loss of smell from 4.17 cm to 1.94 cm (p < 0.001). Conclusions: Such a notable improvement in all analyzed symptoms led us to conclude that respiratory rehabilitation, especially such conducted in adequate climatic conditions, should be a valuable therapeutic option in the symptomatic treatment of patients with chronic rhinosinusitis.

Introduction: Due to dynamic industrialisation smog became a frequent phenomenon in most developing cities. According to the last WHO report from Global Urban Ambient Air Pollution Database, Krakow has been classified in the 11th place among the most polluted cities in Europe. It seems to be an urgent issue because of the influence of air pollution on the condition of upper respiratory tract. Materials & Methods: In December 2015 there were 141 patients aged 17-91 years with upper respiratory tract diseases admitted to the phoniatric outpatient clinic in the University Hospital in Cracow. They suffered from cough, hoarseness and periodic aphonia. On the basis of the results of videolaryngostroboscopy 60 patients with exacerbation of the chronic laryngitis were selected into two numerically equal groups: from Cracow and from other places at least 60 km away. The groups were equal to each other also in three categories: sex, age and voice usage. The patients were referred to the Pedagogical University in Cracow for laryngography to evaluate the movement of the vocal folds and to trace a voice profile. Finally, there were two possible types of treatment – conventional pharmacotherapy or subterraneotherapy in the underground Health Resort in the "Wieliczka" Salt Mine. Results: Pearson correlation coefficient between the distance from the place of residence to Cracow and the scale of exacerbation of inflammation of upper respiratory tract presenting as vocal fold dysfunction was observed (r= 0,617; p<0,05). Conclusion: The place of residence (in or out of the industrial area) and exacerbations of chronic laryngitis are highly correlated. Air pollution seems to be the main factor influencing on the condition of upper respiratory tract. In our local conditions of Lesser Poland Voivodeship subterraneotherapy may be an interesting, non-invasive method preventing from exacerbations of upper respiratory tract diseases.

Objective: We reviewed functional outcomes of tympanoplasty. Study design: The results of tympanoplastic surgery are changing in time. We present late treatment outcomes among different types of tympanoplasty. Methods: Eighty-six patients who underwent tympanoplasty were enrolled in the study. The results of pure tone audiometry performed 7 days before, then at 3 months, 1 year, and 3 years after the surgery were assessed. Type II tympanoplasty involved implantation of a partial ossicular replacement prosthesis and type III tympanoplasty involved reconstruction with a total ossicular replacement prosthesis and the use of autogenous homogenous material. Statistical analysis was performed. Results: With all four types of tympanoplasty, hearing improvement was achieved at 3 months and 1 year after surgery based on the magnitude of the mean ABG reduction (p<0.001). In patients who underwent type I, type III, and type IV tympanoplasty, the ABG reduction at 3 years after surgery was maintained at the level reported at 3 months and 1 year after surgery (p<0.001). In patients who underwent type II tympanoplasty, however, the mean ABG value was increased at all tested frequencies (p<0.05). The mean ABG values reported 3 years after type II and type III tympanoplasty were similar. Conclusions: Based on the results over time, hearing improvement seems to be less durable after reconstruction with the partial ossicular replacement prosthesis procedure compared to the total ossicular replacement prosthesis procedure.

Background Radon-222-enriched hot spring therapy, which is characterized by a safe level of radioactivity, is used for the treatment of rheumatic disorders, and its efficacy has already been studied in several clinical trials. Radon-water inhalation therapy for the treatment of upper and lower airway inflammatory diseases is used in many hot springs centers. However, its application has not been reviewed to date. Methods We systematically searched the PubMed and Scopus databases for clinical trials published in the last 20 years in which objective parameters of upper and lower airway function had been tested before and after radon-enriched inhalation treatment. Results Four prospective studies were found: 1 asthma trial, 1 placebo-controlled chronic rhinosinusitis trial, 1 upper respiratory tract inflammation with nasal obstruction trial, and 1 case-control allergic rhinitis trial. Patients were treated with nasal inhalations of radon-enriched water for 12 to 28 days and were assessed at baseline and after therapy. After 2 weeks of treatment, nasal resistance decreased, flow increased, mucociliary clearance was enhanced, ciliated-to-muciparous cell ratio increased, and %FEV1 increased in asthmatic patients. Conclusion Radon-enriched inhalation therapy improves objective indicators of nasal function in allergic rhinitis and chronic rhinosinusitis, and causes relief of pulmonary obstruction in asthma.

Objective: A pure tone audiomety analysis of patients with extracranial complications of chronic suppurative otitis media (ECCSOM). Material and methods: We retrospectively analyzed audiometric data performed before treatment from 63 patients with ECCSOM (56 single, 7 multiple complications) including groups of frequencies. Results: The greatest levels of hearing loss were noted for 6 and 8 kHz (79.0 and 75.7 dBHL) and for the frequency groups high tone average (76.1 dBHL). As regards the severity of hearing impairment in pure tone average the prevalence of complications was as follows: labyrinthitis (77.8±33.6 dBHL), facial palsy (57.1±14.3 dBHL), perilymphatic fistula (53.9±19.9 dBHL) and mastoiditis (42.2±9.5 dBHL) (p=0.023). Conclusions: Hearing loss in ECCSOM is dominated by mixed, high-tone, moderate type of hearing loss, most profound in labyrinthitis. In 11% of patients the complication causes total deafness.

Wstęp: Nowotwory mające swoją etiologię w gruczołach ślinowych występują rzadko i stanowią ok. 3–10% wszystkich guzów w obrębie głowy i szyi. Materiał i metody: W latach 2006–2016 w Klinicznym Oddziale Chirurgii Czaszkowo-Szczękowo-Twarzowej Wojskowego Instytutu Medycznego w Warszawie z powodu nowotworów ślinianek przyusznych hospitalizowano i leczono 149 pacjentów. Podstawą do analizy były historie chorób pacjentów, wyniki badań histopatologicznych oraz protokoły zabiegów operacyjnych. Wyniki: W 126 przypadkach guzy były łagodne, natomiast w 26 guzy złośliwe. Analizując wyniki można stwierdzić, że nowotwory - zarówno łagodne, jak i złośliwe – częściej występowały u mężczyzn. Średni wiek całej grupy badanych wynosił 58,3 lat, dla zmian złośliwych – 65,5 lat, a dla zmian łagodnych był nieznacznie niższy i wynosił 56,9 lat. Wśród pacjentów objętych analizą szczyt zachorowalności przypadał na przedział wiekowy 60–69 lat. Ponadto zwraca uwagę, iż przedział ten był taki sam dla ogólnej liczby guzów, jak i nowotworów łagodnych, natomiast dla nowotworów złośliwych był nieznacznie wyższy i wynosił 70–79 lat. Z analizy zebranego materiału wynika, że guzy łagodne występowały znamiennie częściej, stanowiąc 84,56% wszystkich guzów. Najczęstszymi rozpoznaniami wśród nowotworów łagodnych były gruczolak wielopostaciowy (adenoma pleomorphicum) oraz gruczolak limfatyczny (adenolymphoma), które stanowiły łącznie 93,66%. Rezultaty badań wskazują, że wśród nowotworów złośliwych dominowały: gruczolakorak polimorficzny o niskiej złośliwości (polymorphous low-grade adenocarcinoma) występujący w 26,07% przypadków, gruczolakorak inaczej nieokreślony (adenocarcinoma NOS) oraz rak zrazikowokomórkowy (acinic cell carcinoma). Każdy z nich stanowił po 13,04% rozpoznań. Jak wynika z przeprowadzonej analizy najczęstszą metodą leczenia było leczenie chirurgiczne jako metoda stosowana samodzielnie. Wnioski: Uzyskane z retrospektywnej analizy dane korelują z piśmiennictwem krajowym i światowym.

Introduction: Inguinal hernias are the most commonly presented abdominal hernias with approximately 20 million people operated annually throughout the world. Severe chronic pain after hernia repair effects social life, daily activity and overall quality of life. The Short Form-36 is (SF-36) a validated indicator of overall health status. Studies have shown that the reliability of the SF-36 is exceeding 0.80. Aim: Our aim of study is to determine the effect of unilateral open mesh repair by using SF-36 on pain control and quality of life of patient. Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out at Indus Hospital Karachi from 1st April 2018 to 10th September 2018. 88 patients were enrolled in this study according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. A written and informed consent was taken from all of them. After surgery they were sent home on painkillers. They were called at 4 weeks and were required to fill a pre designed questionnaire Short form-36. Results: Results showed that out of the 88 patients enrolled in this study 35 (39.8%) experienced mild pain, 37 (42%) experience moderate pain and only 16 (18.2%) experienced severe pain. Quality of life was satisfactory in 72 (81%) and unsatisfactory in 13 (14.7%). Conclusion: Hence it is concluded that post operatively patients experienced better physical functioning and emotional role functioning whereas their perceptions about their general health and energy were satisfactory. Hernia surgery should be offered to all the patients with a clinically detectable hernia.

Opis:
Introduction: Tonsillectomy belongs to the most frequently performed surgical treatments; however, the necessity of its performance is questioned. Therefore, there are many attempts to unify and define the indications for the procedure. Aim: The main objective of the current dissertation was an analysis of the clinical symptoms occurring in patients qualified for tonsillectomy, as well as a comparison of those with a histopathological image of the removed tonsils in a repeatedly carried out, unified pathomorphological examination. The secondary objective was the designation of the demographic profile, existing comorbidities, and complications in the form of postoperative bleeding in patients after tonsillectomy in own material. Material and method: A retrospective analysis of 301 procedures of palatine tonsil removal was performed, which were completed in the years 2017–2019 at the Department of Otolaryngology with Division of Cranio-Maxillo-Facial Surgery of the Military Institute of Medicine, Warsaw, Poland. The indications were defined on the grounds of data from the anamnesis. Based on unified criteria, the removed material was divided into 2 groups: with the signs of Chronic Tonsillitis (CT) as well as Tonsillar Hyperthrophy (TH). Results: The average size of tonsils was the greatest in a group of patients under 35 years of age, and smallest in the group over 51 years of age. As patients aged, the reduction in size of the palatal tonsils was observed. In the examined group, the histopathological diagnosis in the form of HT was found in 165 patients (54.8%), while CT in 136 (45.2%). It was proven that the larger the tonsils in the clinical picture, the more often the histopathological image responded to HT. Among clinical symptoms reported by patients qualified for tonsillectomy, the following were observed: recurring tonsil inflammation in 211 (70.1%), snoring and sleep apnea in 47 (15.6%), as well as sleep apnea in 33 (11%) patients. Primary bleeding occurred in 10 patients (3.34%), and secondary in 8 patients (2.66%). The most common comorbidities were cardiovascular burdens. Conclusions: For most cases, clinical symptoms were confirmed by adequate features of removed material in histopathological examination. The most common histopathological diagnosis was tonsillar hyperthrophy.

Opis:
Introduction Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS) is characterized by recurrent episodes of prolonged partial or complete obstruction of the upper airways. Several study groups studied the effect of snoring and OSAS on auditory function, showing an increase in the incidence of hearing loss in apneic patients, an earlier onset and/or a degree of hearing loss deeper than in peers. The aim of our study is to evaluate the audiological performance of a population of simple-snoring patients and patients suffering from mild OSAS, and the impact that such pathological condition can have on the auditory function, considering the significant levels of chronic noise. Materials and Methods Data was collected by analyzing audiometric exams on snoring patients and a control group of non-snoring patients. Our study included simple snoring patients without OSAS (AHI < 5) or with low level of OSAS (5< AHI < 15). Possible hearing loss was classified in a crescent scale (A-B-C-D-E), from greater to minor auditory performance, according to the indications of the national protocol of occupational medicine for evaluation of hearing loss in patients exposed to chronic noise. Results We have found independence between simple snorers, mild-OSAS snorers and non-snoring patients compared to the scale of hearing performance classification. Conclusions Our results show a distribution of hearing loss in the different groups that appear independent of the presence or absence of snoring, complicated or uncomplicated by mild OSAS.
