Comparison of endoscope-assisted and microscope-assisted type I tympanoplasty; a systematic review and meta-analysis
ConclusionsBased on our meta-analysis, the surgical outcomes of endoscope-assisted and microscope-assisted type I tympanoplasty in terms of postoperative hearing outcomes and the graft uptake rate were comparable. On the contrary, operative time and complications rate proved to be significantly reduced with endoscopy compared to microscopy. Hence, the endoscope is as efficient as the microscope in type I tympanoplasty but less invasive, fewer in complications and shorter in operative time.

Voice outcome in medialisation thyroplasty with and without arytenoid adduction: a prospective comparison using intraoperative voice measurements
ConclusionsOur study using intraoperative voice measurements indicate that the addition of arytenoid adduction to medialisation thyroplasty is a benefit in selected patients although more studies are needed due to the many limitations inherent to this field of investigation.

Auditory capacity of the better-hearing ear in asymmetric hearing loss
ConclusionsIndividuals with SSD show significantly poorer hearing in the better-hearing ear than individuals with NH from the ISO 7029:2017. In clinical practice, we should, therefore, inform our SSD patients that their disease is accompanied by a reduced hearing capacity on the contralateral side, especially in certain etiologies.

Prospective development study of the Versius Surgical System for use in transoral robotic surgery: an IDEAL stage 1/2a first in human and initial case series experience
ConclusionsTORS is feasible with the Versius Surgical System. The development of TORS-specific instruments would benefit performance and wider adoption of the system. 4-arm surgery is possible however further evaluation is required. Multicentre evaluation (IDEAL stage 2b) is recommended. (Source: European Archives of Oto-Rhino-Laryngology)

Ensuring that ingested fishbones that migrate to the neck are located, diagnosed, and removed early
ConclusionsThe techniques of B-ultrasound and CT have advantages for the diagnosis of migratory foreign bodies in the neck. Although B-ultrasound is more accurate for estimating the length of migratory fish bones in the neck, a combination of both methods can improve the preoperative positive rate of diagnosis. Therefore, a variety of surgical approaches should be employed to manage the different locations of cervical foreign bodies. (Source: European Archives of Oto-Rhino-Laryngology)

Balanced medial –lateral wall vs selective 3-wall orbital decompression for sight-threatening Graves’s orbitopathy: a clinical retrospective cohort study from 2016 to 2022
ConclusionsWe demonstrated that S3W-OD provides a lower rate of new-onset strabismus/diplopia as compared with BMLW-OD surgery, while still allowing for satisfactory visual outcomes.Trial registration number :  NCT05627401.  Date of registration: November 25, 2022.

ARTIS Pheno ®: a potential tool for cochlear implant surgery
ConclusionThese cases showed positive surgical outcomes. Although the procedure is more complex than a standard approach, patients can be managed in a safe, effective and appropriate manner. The assessment of implant position in real time during surgery leads to greater patient and surgeon satisfaction. The approach presented here ensures a high quality of cochlear implant surgery even in difficult surgical situations and meets the requirements of modern surgery.

Does thyroglossal duct arborization play a role in the post-surgical outcome of Sistrunk procedure in children?
ConclusionSurgery for TGDC remains a challenge for pediatric surgeons, while arborization was present in most of our cases which underwent surgery. With respect to the role of arborization, our study did not highlight sufficient conclusive data regarding their role in recurrence: instead, it showed wide resection as satisfactory, being the arborization present in most of the cases at histopathology.
