Objectives: We aimed to present our experience in augmentation rhinoplasty, using autologous grafts.Methods: Between the years 2003-2007, whose registries were available, we evaluated 32 patients retrospectively.Results: Most of the operations were for traumatic reasons (62.5%, 20/32), and 37.5% (12/32) of them were revision surgeries. Satisfactory results in projection of nasal tip, dorsal augmentation, widening of the internal nasal valve and low scar retraction, were obtained. Minor complaints of the patients were recognized as palpation of graft through the skin, underprojection of tip in a couple of patients, thickness of the skin and insufficient nasal dorsal augmentation. Out of these exceptional results, most of the patients had satisfactory functional and aesthetic results.Conclusion: Autogenous cartilage or bone grafts or combination of the otografts in Augmentation Rhinoplasty, provides satisfactory aesthetic and functional results. Alloplastic materials should be combined, if sufficient otografts are not found.

Objectives: The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of corrective nasal surgeries on snoring in patients diagnosed as simple snorers.Methods: Seventeen patients who were presented with the complaint of snoring as suggested by their partners and had apnea hypopnea index less than 5 in polysomnography, and were operated on due to nasal pathology were included in the study. Patients were evaluated prior to surgery and 3 months after surgery with body mass index, snoring complaints inventory and visual analog scala (VAS) for symptoms of snoring and apnea, nasal obstruction and post-operative satisfaction.Results: In the post-operative assessment, significant improvement was observed in the nasal passage compared to pre-operative level. This finding was approved subjectively on survey study as increase of nasal passage in 71% of the patients. Decrease in snoring was found in 65% of the patients. VAS scores revealed a significant reduction in the loudness of the snoring in the post-operative period.Conclusion: Correction of the nasal pathology leads to reduction in the frequency and loudness of the snoring. Consequently, nasal pathologies should definitely be treated in patients with snoring. However, it should be borne in mind that these diseases are multifactorial and multi-leveled. Thus, successful results may not be obtained in all of the patients and they should be counseled accordingly.

A.; Özdemircan, T.; Coşkun, H.; Basut, O.; Onart, S.; Hızalan, I.; KASAPOĞLU, FİKRET; Ceyhan, Aydın; ÖZMEN, ÖMER AFŞIN; Özdemircan, Talip; Coşkun, Hakan; BASUT, OĞUZ İBRAHİM; Onart, Selçuk; Hızalan, İbrahim; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Kulak Burun Boğaz Anabilim Dalı/Baş Boyun Cerrahisi Bilim Dalı.; 0000-0002-9698-0546; 0000-0002-0881-1444; A-1452-2019; AAI-3877-2021; IBL-8964-2023; FVD-4295-2022; DVC-7511-2022; CFJ-8210-2022; FQP-9099-2022; EZI-7933-2022
Objectives: To evaluate our surgical approach to the blunt and penetrating head and neck trauma cases.Methods: Twenty-seven patients who were operated for head and neck trauma at Uludag University Faculty of Medicine, between January 1997 and January 2008, and whose registries were available were examined retrospectively.Results: The etiology in nine of the patients was firearm injury, 14 of them were stab wounds, 4 of them had traffic accidents outside the vehicle and other causes (suicide, traffic accidents inside the car etc.). None of the patients had early mortality after the surgery.Conclusion: Both blunt and penetrating neck traumas may require immediate intervention. Diversity of the traumatized organs in the neck, most of which are related to otolaryngology, necessitates the presence of a well trained head and neck surgeon in the team.

(Galenos Yayıncılık, 2008-06-01) Eryılmaz, A.; Erişen, L.; Ursavaş, A.; Karadağ, M.; Onart, S.; Basut, O.; Coşkun, H.; Eryılmaz, Aylin; Erişen, Levent; URSAVAŞ, AHMET; KARADAĞ, MEHMET; Onart, Selçuk; BASUT, OĞUZ İBRAHİM; Coşkun, Hakan; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Kulak Burun Boğaz Anabilim Dalı.; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Goğüs Hastalıkları Anabilim Dalı.; 0000-0002-9027-1132; 0000-0002-0881-1444; CNX-9159-2022; ETY-7294-2022; AAI-3169-2021; AAG-8744-2021; FQP-9099-2022; CFJ-8210-2022; DVC-7511-2022
Objectives: We evaluated the results, safety and efficacy of palatal implants for the treatment of simple snoring and mild-moderate obstructive sleep apnea syndrome.Methods: The study included 12 patients having only a palatal pathology and having a diagnosis of simple snoring or mild moderate obstructive sleep apnea syndrome after polysomnography. Palatal implants were placed in the soft palate of each patient. The results were evaluated subjectively by the patients and their partners, objectively by polysomnographic findings. Data obtained before the procedure was compared to data obtained mean six months after the procedure.Results: After the palatal implant was performed, mean apnea hypopnea index reduced from 6.3 to 4.5. There was no significant difference in the mean oxygen saturation values (p=0.450). The mean of the visual analog scale of sleepiness according to the patient reduced 45% after the treatment, and mean Epworth sleepiness score decreased from 4.8 to 3.3. The visual analog scale of snoring according to the partner decreased from 6.6 to 4.3 (p=0.005). The snoring intensity reported by the bed partner decreased significantly.Conclusion: Palatal implant is a good alternative for the treatment of simple snoring and mild obstructive sleep apnea syndrome in selected patients. The effectiveness is comparable to other methods. Advantages are minimal morbidity, patient's compliance and one-stage procedure.
