Comparison of steroid ‐releasing stents vs nonabsorbable packing as middle meatal spacers
ConclusionIn this study, nonabsorbable packing materials showed significant superior middle meatal spacing capacities as evidenced by greater middle turbinate medialization capability at the first postoperative visit. Additionally, patients with this type of packing saw improvements in their SNOT ‐22 scores at the 20‐day postoperative visit. This study showed that there was no significant improvement in postoperative outcomes with drug‐eluting stents when compared to nonabsorbable packing.

Endoscopic repair of spontaneous skull base defects decreases the incidence rate of intracranial complications
ConclusionSpontaneous skull base defects pose significant risk for life ‐threatening ICCs. Our findings reveal significantly elevated odds of ICC development associated with resolved CSF rhinorrhea, lower BMI, longer duration of symptoms, and defect location. Endoscopic repair is highly successful with low morbidity and significantly reduces the incidence rate of intr acranial complications.
