Who Gets Pott ’ s Puffy Tumor?
Discussion Pott’s puffy tumor (PPT) was first described by Sir Percivall Pott in 1775 and who also described other orthopaedic and oncological diseases subsequently named for him. “It is a subperiosteal abscess of the anterior wall of the frontal sinus associated with underlying frontal osteomyelitis.” The tender edema and swelling of the forehead is the sign of PPT. Associated fever, headache, and rhinorrhea along with similar problems such as postnasal drip or nasal congestion are common. Associated ophthalmological problems include peri-orbital or eyelid edema and/or preseptal cellulitis. Ptosis and di...

What Are The Potential Complications of a Tracheostomy?
Discussion In the past, indications for tracheostomy were often because of infection, but today are more often due to need for chronic airway support and/or ventilation. Many more children and infants are having tracheostomies placed. Decannulation rates for these children are low due to concomitant complex chronic disease such as neurological, pulmonary and congenital heart diseases. Co-morbidies are common with 3-4 being average, and frequently also including chronic technology such as gastrostomy tubes or ventriculoperitoneal shunts. Approximately 8% of children do not survive the hospitalization where the tracheostomy ...

Can Pharyngeal Packing Prevent Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting in Nasal Surgery?
ConclusionsConsidering the occurrence of postoperative morbidity according to the time course, pharyngeal packing during nasal surgery does not alleviate PONV but instead could aggravate postoperative throat pain. Additionally, pharyngeal packing has the possibility of airway problem such as the foreign body aspiration. Based on our results, we suggest that there is no need to place a pharyngeal pack to prevent PONV in patients undergoing nasal surgery.Level of EvidenceIb.Laryngoscope, 2018

Intranasal tissue necrosis associated with opioid abuse: Case report and systematic review
ConclusionIntranasal opioid abuse is a prevalent condition associated with chronic pain and tissue necrosis that is clinically concerning for invasive fungal disease. Whereas IFRS must be excluded, even in patients without known immunodeficiency, complete resolution of symptoms can be expected following surgical debridement with cessation of opioid abuse.

Balloon Eustachian tuboplasty under local anesthesia: Is it feasible?
ConclusionBET is a safe and feasible procedure under monitored anesthesia care, including local anesthesia along with sedation and analgesia. There is need for further methodological improvement to reduce pain and discomfort during the operation. Level of Evidence4. Laryngoscope, 2017

Elimination of pain improves specificity of clinical diagnostic criteria for adult chronic rhinosinusitis
ConclusionClinical diagnostic criteria overestimate the prevalence of chronic rhinosinusitis. Removing facial pain, ear pain, dental pain, and headache increased specificity without a concordant loss in sensitivity. Given the high prevalence of sinusitis, improved clinical diagnostic criteria may assist primary care providers in more accurately predicting the presence of inflammation, thereby reducing inappropriate antibiotic use or delayed referral for evaluation of primary headache syndromes.

Is nonabsorbable nasal packing after septoplasty essential? A meta ‐analysis

Balloon dilation of sinus ostia in the Department of Defense: Diagnoses, actual indications, and outcomes
ConclusionsBalloon dilation of sinus ostia has an expanding role in treating sinus disease. In the studied population, BCD is often utilized for alternate indications for which there is currently no evidence of efficacy. Future studies are needed to evaluate the efficacy of this technology in treating these alternate indications. Level of Evidence4. Laryngoscope, 2016

Product comparison model in otolaryngology: Equivalency analysis of absorbable hemostatic agents after endoscopic sinus surgery
ConclusionCareful and deliberate consideration should be taken when choosing products to assist our surgical endeavors. Subjectively, patients treated with MPH showed near‐significant increases in pain and obstruction. In objective measures, CMC gel nearly reaches significance for more postoperative debridement, with increased crusting and inflammation. Product choice could consider these factors, although it remains at the discretion of the surgeon. This model of comparison allows careful product comparison and should be applied to other hemostatics, as well as other materials in use in otolaryngology. Level of Evidence...

REMODEL larger cohort with long‐term outcomes and meta‐analysis of standalone balloon dilation studies
ConclusionsAll outcomes are comparable between FESS and balloon dilation at all time points from 6 months to 24 months. Balloon dilation produces faster recovery, less postoperative pain, and fewer debridements than FESS. There is significant, durable benefit in a large series of 358 patients undergoing standalone balloon dilation. Level of Evidence1b/2a. Laryngoscope, 2015
