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.

Vestibular function assessment in Idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss: a prospective study
ConclusionVertigo in patients with ISSHL “as objectively confirmed through caloric testing and vHIT” can be considered a sign of severe cochlear damage. Our study demonstrated a significantly increased risk of vestibular affect in patients with ISSHL, especially in the presence of vertigo. Thus, we conclude that the focus in ISSHL shou ld not only be on the cochlea but also on the vestibular system. (Source: European Archives of Oto-Rhino-Laryngology)

The relationship between posttonsillectomy bleeding to hemogram and coagulation parameters
ConclusionsAge, high WBC and neutrophil levels were determined as possible risk factors for PTB. Seasonal and gender distribution, aPTT and INR values were similar in the two groups. In order to prevent and predict bleeding, detailed infection investigation should be performed and the risk of bleeding should be considered to increase with increasing age.

A novel coupling quality index to estimate the coupling efficiency in Vibrant Soundbridge
ConclusionThis study provides evidence for the utility of intraoperative ABR measurements in predicting the coupling efficiency in patients with VSB. Our results showed that the coupling quality index had an acceptable accuracy in discriminating between good and poor coupling, which can help clinicians optimize the fitting process for individuals and may ultimately lead to improved patient outcomes.

Clinical characteristics of local allergic rhinitis sensitized to house dust mites in Asia
ConclusionClinical history and nasal symptoms are very similar in LAR-HDM and AR-HDM. Clinicians should take more care to differentiate them. LAR-HDM should also be considered in patients with persistent and severe nasal symptoms without systemic atopy. (Source: European Archives of Oto-Rhino-Laryngology)

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.

Association between dietary zinc intake and olfactory dysfunction: a study based on the NHANES database
ConclusionDaily dietary zinc intake within the range of 9.60 –17.45 mg has a protective effect against olfactory dysfunction. Intake outside this range increases the prevalence of olfactory dysfunction. The prevalence of olfactory dysfunction is significantly higher in individuals aged 60 and above compared to those under 60 years old. For individuals wit h a BMI of 25–30 kg/m2 and a BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2, dietary zinc intake is negatively correlated with olfactory dysfunction. Therefore, it is recommended that these populations increase their dietary zinc intake to develop healthier lifestyles and maintain olfacto...

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)

Leishmaniasis in otorhinolaryngology: an emerging disease and its relationship with anti-tumor necrosis factor-alpha drugs
ConclusionsWith the increasing use of biologic treatments like TNF- α blockers, this type of infection will be increasingly frequent in endemic areas and also worldwide. It is important to include leishmaniasis in the differential diagnosis of inflammatory/infectious lesions in the ENT region. (Source: European Archives of Oto-Rhino-Laryngology)
