A comparative study of synechiae formation in endoscopic septoplasty with and without intranasal splints

<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> Septoplasty is the treatment of choice for deviated nasal septum. Deviated nasal septum can be C shaped or S shaped leading to unilateral or bilateral nasal obstruction. Septal spur may also require surgery. Sometimes deviated nasal septum may block osteomeatal complex leading to chronic sinusitis. For the evaluation of nasal cavities preoperatively computed tomography (CT) paranasal sinuses and diagnostic nasal endoscopy is done. Diagnostic nasal endoscopy done after two weeks of surgery. The objective of the study is to compare the efficacy of intranasal splints in the prevention of nasal synechiae following septoplasty.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> 100 patients undergoing septoplasty under general anesthesia from March 2018 to March 2019 were enrolled. Patients with nasal septal deviation and aged between 18-50 years were included in the study. All surgeries were performed by consultant ear, nose and throat (ENT) surgeons under general or local anesthesia. Institutional ethical committee approval was obtained for the study. Informed consent was obtained from all patients. Patients with age under 18 years or over 50 years were excluded for the study. </p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> Septoplasty with intranasal splints reduce the formation of synechiae in 48 patients.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Conclusions:</strong> Usage of intranasal splints indicates a decrease in the postoperative formation of synechiae after septoplasty.</p>

Validation Study on Intraoperative Video Recording as an Objective Assessment Tool in ENT Surgery

Objectives: (1) Determine the construct validity and the reliability of video assessment scoring of myringotomy and grommet insertion. (2) Measure the performance (by rating) of participants compared to operative time. Methods: Study design was a single blinded (raters) video assessment, conducted in a tertiary care university hospital August to October 2013. Participants were consultant and trainee (Specialty Registrar [StR] and Core Trainee [CT]) ear, nose, and throat (ENT) surgeons performing a total of 30 consecutive index procedures. Two raters at ENT Consultant level with a subspecialty interest in otology who did not take part in the study were invited to score results. Results: A strong correlation between scores by the 2 blinded raters was demonstrated (rho = 0.748; P < .001). Median scores (/45) for each group were: CT 25.5 (interquartile range [IQR] 21.13-31.25), SpR 33 (IQR 24.88-35), and consultant 40 (IQR 35.38-42.63). Kruskal-Wallis test analysis showed statistically significant mean rank scores between the 3 different levels of experience (H = 12.77, P = .002). Multiple group comparisons indicated a significant difference between CT and consultant groups ( P < .001) and StR and consultant groups ( P = .007). Analysis of the time taken between the experience groups demonstrated a difference (H = 8.689, P = .013), although individual intergroup comparisons indicated this was only significant between CT and consultant groups ( P = .004). There was a significant negative correlation (rho = –0.842; P < .001) between time taken for procedure and score achieved. Conclusions: Video assessment of this procedure may represent a valid, feasible tool for use in summative and formative assessments of trainee ENT surgeons. Remote scoring of assessment procedures minimizes bias and enables blinding of raters.

London head and neck dissection course

The sixth London head and neck dissection course, a three day intensive course endorsed by the Royal College of Surgeons of England, took place at St George’s Hospital in April 2011. The faculty was made up of specialists in otolaryngology and maxillofacial and plastic surgery, with invited faculty from the anatomy department of the Royal College of Surgeons and distinguished overseas surgeons. The course organiser, Tunde Odutoye, is a consultant ear, nose, and throat (ENT) and head and neck cancer surgeon at St George’s Hospital. Using fresh frozen cadavers, the course emphasises the anatomy relevant to common head and neck procedures in a well supervised environment. The course is aimed at junior trainees in ENT, maxillofacial, and plastic surgery, but the vast experience of the faculty means that it would also be suitable for more senior trainees and newly qualified consultants. About half the trainees were ENT and maxillofacial trainees from …
