The first allogenic tracheal transplantation in humans 45 years ago : Procedure, course, and outcome
HNO. 2023 Oct 11. doi: 10.1007/s00106-023-01374-y. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn November/December 1978, the first successful tracheal transplantation in humans was performed at the University ENT Clinic in Cologne by the then senior physicians Kurt G. Rose (later chief physician in Dortmund) and Klaus Sesterhenn (later chief physician in Duisburg). Director of the clinic at that time was Prof. Dr. Dr. Fritz Wustrow [10]. The immunological foundations and preliminary work were laid by Sesterhenn in the context of a total of 338 tracheal transplants in Lewis rats in the 1970s (details in the text). The first successful t...

Cochlear implant and tinnitus
HNO. 2023 Oct 10. doi: 10.1007/s00106-023-01376-w. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCochlear implant (CI) treatment is now established as a successful standard of care for auditory rehabilitation of profoundly deaf or severe hearing loss patients. CI candidates with tinnitus also benefit from improved health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and tinnitus burden. Current CI indications include bilateral (double-sided) profound hearing loss and deafness (DSD), unilateral (single-sided) deafness (SSD), and asymmetric hearing loss (AHL). The new and expanded indications for cochlear implants result in different healthcare situation...

Evaluative audiometry after cochlear implant provision
CONCLUSION: The results of this study suggest that much of the cause of variability in fitting outcomes can be captured by systematic postoperative audiometric checks. Immediate conclusions for CI system fitting adjustments may be drawn from these results. However, the extent to which these are accepted by individual patients and thus lead to an improvement in outcome must be subject of further studies, preferably prospective.PMID:37812257 | DOI:10.1007/s00106-023-01317-7 (Source: HNO)

Prediction of postoperative speech comprehension with the transcutaneous partially implantable bone conduction hearing system Osia ®
CONCLUSION: Osia® can be used for the treatment of CHL and MHL within the indication limits. The average preoperative bone conduction hearing threshold also provides an approximate estimate of the postoperative WRS with Osia®, for which the most accurate prediction is obtained using the preoperative mWRS. Prediction accuracy decreases from a BC-4PTA of ≥ 40 dB HL.PMID:37812258 | DOI:10.1007/s00106-023-01337-3 (Source: HNO)
