A two-years-old boy with Down's Syndrome and a small interauricular communication was given priority scheduling for adenoidectomy and tonsillectomy to correct subacute obstruction of the upper airway. The only noteworthy event during surgery was an SpO2 of 92% during mechanical ventilation with FiO2
The authors report on their clinical experiences concerning 100 cases of chronic lingual tonsillitis. The surgical treatment employed was endoscopic vaporization of affected tissues with the CO2 laser. Prior to surgical intervention, predisposing conditions such as allergy, rhinosinusitis, and
The light microscopic findings of tonsillar tissues from nineteen patients (aged 13-51) with the clinical diagnosis of chronic tonsillitis are described at sequential intervals following cryosurgical treatment. The Cooper instrument was used, containing liquid nitrogen and capacity limited
OBJECTIVE
We investigated 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25(OH)₂D₃] and specific immunoglobulin E (IgE) levels in children with recurrent tonsillitis (RT) plus allergic rhinitis (AR).
METHODS
Thirty children with RT+AR were included in the study group, and 30 healthy children comprised the control
Chronic tonsillitis (CT) was found in 63.1% of 190 obese children aged 3-15 years, 15% of them had no quinsy in the past. Onset of obesity was attributed to frequent quinsy in 18.3% of the examinees. Marked CT exacerbations were more typical for the children aged 6-7 years (10%). In 12-15-year-olds
A 65-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with edema and renal dysfunction. He had received a diagnosis of psoriatic arthritis at 50 years of age. As a renal biopsy showed IgA nephropathy (IgAN), bilateral tonsillectomy was performed, and one course of steroid pulse therapy with an oral steroid
Deep neck abscess is a life-threatening infection that causes laryngeal edema and upper airway occlusion. The predominant bacterial species involved in this disorder is group A streptococcus. Group G streptococcus (GGS) constitutes the normal commensal flora of the human upper airway. Although
A 36 years old woman underwent tonsillectomy for recurrent tonsillitis. At about one week in the postoperative period, she developed sudden onset severe ("thunderclap"), recurrent headaches and focal neurological signs including visual disturbances, ataxia and myoclonic jerks. Serial imaging with
OBJECTIVE
The objective of the study was to compare and assess parameters related to thermal welding tonsillectomy (TWT) vs ligasure tonsillectomy (LT).
METHODS
This was a prospective randomized study.
METHODS
A prospective study was conducted on 143 consecutive adult patients undergoing
In the period 1998-, we registered four sudden and unexpected cardiac deaths in male athletes due to myopericarditis during or after physical exercise. Three of them were professional soccer players and the fourth was engaged in swimming. One aged 29, had symptoms of tiredness, heart enlargement and
We report a rare case of chronic refractory uveitis in a patient with childhood-onset cyclic neutropenia (CN). A 19-year-old woman, who had a history of CN beginning at age 2, presented with bilateral chronic nongranulomatous uveitis, complicated cataract, retinal vasculitis, cystoids macular edema,
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate and introduce a new method of tonsillectomy with the use of Ligasure vessel sealing system (LVSS) in pediatric population.
METHODS
A prospective study was conducted on children undergoing tonsillectomy with the use of LVSS. Indications included chronic tonsillitis, peritonsilar
OBJECTIVE
To assess parameters related to ligasure tonsillectomy (LT) versus cold knife tonsillectomy (CKT) procedure.
METHODS
Prospective randomized study.
METHODS
A prospective study was conducted on 200 consecutive adult patients undergoing tonsillectomy. Indications included chronic tonsillitis
The objective of the study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of temperature-controlled radiofrequency (RF) tonsil ablation in the treatment of halitosis caused by chronic tonsillitis with caseum. The study method was retrospective. The medical records of 58 patients undergoing
OBJECTIVE
To introduce and assess a new method of tonsillectomy with thermal welding technology (TWT) using the thermal ligating shear (TLS(2)), in pediatric population.
METHODS
TWT provides a new surgical instrument that combines heat and pressure to simultaneously coagulate and divide tissue.
