“…Time to end of pain constituted a relevant target value for three of the studies included:15,17,19 Pistorius et al17 determined this parameter via the Visual Analog Scale; Lildholdt et al15 and Roland et al19 rated pain perception in diary entries on a scale of 0–4.…”

“…In contrast, Lildholdt et al15 in their study evaluated the number of persisting cultures after the end of treatment, which was also relevant for Goldenberg et al14 that is, whether and to what extent bacterial proliferation still existed after therapy was completed.…”

“…Here, the rate for patients whose condition fell into the category “clinical resolution” or “improvement” ranged between 93% and 100%. Studies that evaluated the outcome parameters after a follow-up period showed cure or improvement rates between 86.6% and 96.7% 13,15,18. Consequently, comparably high success rates for the ciprofloxacin 0.2% drug were determined in these studies.…”

Background/objectiveAn inflammation of the cutis and subcutis of the external auditory canal is a primary symptom in cases of acute otitis externa. It is usually treated locally, since this type of therapy ensures a high concentration of the drug and interacts at the site of inflammation with no systemic effects. This systematic review compares the efficacy of treatment using a ciprofloxacin 0.2% solution with other therapeutic options.MethodsAfter compiling a catalog of search terms, medical databases were searched systematically for randomized, controlled studies. This search initially yielded a total of 38 studies which were then evaluated by three independent reviewers. The number of studies was subsequently reduced to 14: six studies using a ciprofloxacin 0.2% solution, and eight studies using both 0.2% and 0.3% solutions.ResultsThe studies included in the review demonstrate the statistical equivalence between the ciprofloxacin solution (0.2%) and the reference products PNH (a combination of polymyxin B, neomycin sulfate and hydrocortisone), auriculum powder, and a ciprofloxacin foam with respect to the cure rate. The research groups consistently observed high in vitro activity of ciprofloxacin against Pseudomonas aeruginosa.ConclusionThis systematic review confirms the hypothesis of ciprofloxacin’s noninferiority in the treatment of otitis externa, in terms of the cure rate and microbiological eradication.

The lateral rhinotomy approach is one of the most commonly used techniques for exploration of the diffi cult sinonasal masses. Though endoscopic advances have progressed rapidly since last few years, but the excellent exposure provided by the lateral rhinotomy approach makes it suitable for resection of sinonasal masses with extensive spread. Our study is an attempt to establish the different spectra of pathologies encountered in the sinonasal region, which were removed by the lateral rhinotomy approach and to establish its importance in the context of modern rhinological surgeries.
