Temporal bone 3D models – an innovative approach in otologic surgical training

Introduction: Temporal bone surgery requires high precision due to the complexity of its anatomy. Traditional surgical training with cadavers presents limitations such as scarcity of material, anatomical variability, and high costs. This study explores the use of personalized 3D models of the temporal bone from patients scheduled for otologic surgery as an innovative training tool.Materials and Methods: Persona...

The utility of oropharyngeal pHmetry in the diagnosis and treatment of laryngop...

Introduction: Laryngopharyngeal reflux is a chronic illness with variable and unspecific symptoms, representing up to 10% of otolaryngology appointments. Its diagnosis and treatment are controversial, with high rates of treatment failure. Oropharyngeal pHmetry is an objective diagnosis method that measures both liquid and gaseous pH variations in the oropharynx, having previously demonstrated a higher diagnosis...

Facial Nerve Palsy

Translation, adaptation and validation of the Portuguese version of the secreti...

The accumulation of secretions in the hypopharynx, glottis, and/or trachea is a cardinal sign of dysphagia and is of great clinical and therapeutic relevance. To evaluate the residual accumulation of secretions, Murray et al. created the Secretion Severity Rating Scale in 1996. The aim of this study was the translation, adaptation and validation of this scale into European Portuguese through intra- and inter-ju...

We present, briefly, a clinical case occurred at ENT-HNS Service, Hospital Garcia de Orta in which the Mitomycin-C was used as an adjunct to surgical correction of unilateral choanal atresia.Results: Mitomycin-C is an anti-proliferative agent which inhibits growth and fibroblast...

Perda Auditiva em Recém-Nascidos de Muito Baixo Peso: Estudo Retrospetivo

Introdução: A audição desempenha um papel essencial na aquisição, desenvolvimento e manutenção da linguagem. O peso ao nascer é um indicador de maturação biológica do recém-nascido. Este estudo teve por objetivos avaliar a prevalência de perda auditiva em recém-nascidos de muito baixo peso num hospital português de nível II e estudar as variáveis potencialmente relacionadas. Métodos: Estudo retrospetivo dos rec...
