Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is the unique method of increasing concentration of oxygen in the inner ear fluids thus facilitates the regeneration process. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy combined with steroids is an effective method of sensorineural hearing loss treatment. Important is to start the therapy quickly after hearing loss.
We found that Rapid Rhino Stammberger Sinus Dressing and Dissolvable Sinu-Knit are associated with very low local pain level and with a good effect in postoperative bleeding and synechia formation control.
Introduction: The aim of the study was to assess the influence of rhinoplasty on the quality of different aspects of life. The study group included 79 patients with congenital or posttraumatic nasal deformities (38 males, 41 females) aged from 17 to 49 years (mean age 20 years) with open technique septorhinoplasty.
Materials and Methods: The quality of life was assessed before and 3 months after surgery, with the WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire. Furthermore, other patient data including demographic data, other surgeries and comorbidities were also registered. Completion of 71 preoperative and 70 postoperative questionnaires was accomplished. The results showed statistically significant differences within the quality of life in all domains.
Discussion and conclusion: Based on the conducted studies and after analysis of available literature, it may be concluded that functional and plastic surgeries including septorhinoplasty have an influence on the quality of life.To control post-operative results, tools evaluating this aspect should be used.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
