This is a study of 61 cases of turbinoplasty done in 3 hospitals of Bangladesh from August2007 to July 2009 (2 years). This study compares turbinoplasty by laser with that of non-lasertechniques. 60.65% of patients were operated by laser and 39.34% of patients were operatedby non-laser techniques. Majority of the patients were from 21- 40 years of age, (62.16% inlaser group and 54.16% in non-laser group). Male & Female patients ratio was 3:1 in bothgroups. 100% of the patients were presented with nasal obstruction. 98.36% with nasaldischarge, 95.08% with headache and 75.40% with frequent sneezing (p<0.01). Most patientswere operated under local anesthesia in both groups (78.38% and 58.33% respectably).Follow up was satisfactory up to 3 months (Laser group 81.08 % and non-laser group 70.83%). Most of the patient were all symptoms free (86.48 % in laser group and 79.16 % in nonlasergroup). Only 8 patients (21.62%) present with crusting in laser group in respect to 22patients (91.66%) in non-laser group with no incidence of severe post–operative nasal bleedingin laser group. 34 patients (91.89%) of Laser group and 13 patients (35.13%) of non-lasergroup were treated as day care surgery.Most of the cases (70.27%) were operated by diode laser. Recurrences of symptoms werenegligible in laser group (2.70%).Key Words: Laser; Turbinoplasty.DOI: 10.3329/bjo.v16i1.5775Bangladesh J Otorhinolaryngol 2010; 16(1): 9-14

Background: Different laser types have been used for the treatment of hypertrophied inferiornasal turbinates. The clinical experiences of its treatment by means of a diode laser are presented.Methods: A total of 45 patients suffering from nasal obstruction due to hypertrophied inferiorturbinates (HIT) were treated with a continuous diode laser (14 W- 940 nm) in "contact" modeand under local anesthesia. Thirty patients (16 with allergic rhinitis and 14 with vasomotorrhinitis) were included into this clinical trial with a follow-up of 6 months. The study wasconducted by a questionnaire, photo documentation, conventional radiology of the paranasalsinuses, and histology.Results: The mean operation time took 8 min/turbinate, no nasal packing was necessary andno immediate complications (e.g., bleeding) were observed. Statistical analysis revealedsignificant subjective improvement (86%) of the nasal airflow and nasal cavity volume (photodocumentation) 6 months after laser surgery. In addition, complete relief of headache wasachieved in 32%. The remission rates of persistent rhinorrhoea and post-nasal dripping were,at about 88% and 64%, respectively. Atrophic change and synechiae had not been observed.Conclusions: Diode laser treatment of HIT is a useful procedure, which can be performed as anoutpatient surgery under local anesthesia, resulting in a controlled coagulation and ablation of thesoft tissue. The short operation time and the good results provide an excellent patient acceptance.Key words: Diode Laser; Hypertrophied Inferior Turbinate; Turbinoplasty.DOI: 10.3329/bjo.v16i1.5778Bangladesh J Otorhinolaryngol 2010; 16(1): 29-34

The safety and effectiveness of inferior partial turbinectomy (IPT) as a treatment for refractory chronic rhinitis was studied. Fifty-five patients, 34 males and 21 females, underwent IPT for chronic rhinitis, the majority under local anesthesia and in conjunction with septoplasty. Relief of nasal obstruction, rhinorrhea, snoring, headache, and obstructive sleep apnea was subjectively measured after an average follow-up of 18 months. We noted particularly high success rates - 92.3% and 85.5% - for nasal obstruction and rhinorrhea, respectively. Complications, in the form of post-op bleeding, were low at 3.7%. We conclude that IPT is an effective and safe procedure when properly performed. This work should help otolaryngologists become more comfortable in performing this old but controversial technique for treating chronic rhinitis.

Long Term Effect

Objective: The aim of the study was to compare the long-term effects of radiofrequency ablation (RFA), microdebrider-assisted inferior turbinoplasty (MAIT), and diode laser techniques on the severity of nasal obstruction and quality of life (QOL) in a 3-year follow-up. Methods: The patients filled a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) regarding the severity of nasal obstruction and the Glasgow Health Status Inventory (GHSI) questionnaire preoperatively and during the control visits at 3 months and 3 years. Acoustic rhinometry was also performed. A total of 78 patients attended both control visits. Results: All 3 techniques improved the VAS score for the severity of nasal obstruction and the GHSI total score significantly compared to the preoperative values at both 3 months and 3 years. Compared to the preoperative values, all 3 techniques increased the V2 to 5 cm values significantly at 3 months. After 3 years, compared to the preoperative values, the MAIT ( P = .005) and diode laser ( P < .001) still had a statistically significant volume increase in V2 to 5 cm, whereas the RFA ( P = .06) did not achieve a statistically significant effect. Conclusion: The RFA, MAIT, and diode laser all improved both the patients’ subjective sensation of the severity of nasal obstruction and QOL significantly. The response was sustained during the 3-year follow-up period with all 3 techniques. A weakening in the objective treatment response to RFA was found in the longer follow-up, but that did not cause a weakening of the patients’ subjective treatment response.

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) are the most common mesenchymal tumors of the digestive tract (1%). These tumors express the CD 117 in 95% of cases. The stomach is the preferential localization (70%). Diagnosis is difficult and sometimes late. Progress of imaging has greatly improved the management and the prognosis. Computed tomography (CT) is the gold standard for diagnosis, staging, and treatment follow-up. The increasing recognition of GIST’s histopathology and the prolonged survival revealed some suggestive imaging aspects. Key words: gastro-intestinal stromal tumors; computed tomography; diagnosis

RESUMOO dente denominado incluso nada mais é que um dente retido ou impactado dentro do alvéolo dentário de maneira parcial ou completa que não conseguiu erupcionar por motivos patológicos ou simplesmente anatômicos após o período de rizogênese. O canino, em especial, é de suma importância sob os pontos de vista estético e funcional. O deslocamento do canino incluso ultrapassando, ou se aproximando da linha média antes da erupção dentária do mesmo, é mais frequente na mandíbula do que na maxila.  Este trabalho tem por objetivo descrever o caso de um paciente de 21 anos que apresentava um canino incluso na região mentual, em posição transversal, inicialmente visualizado em uma radiografia periapical e posteriormente submetido a radiografia com a técnica de Donavan. Através de uma radiografia oclusal, foi possível observar o posicionamento do dente para a vestibular mentoniana e íntima relação do dente retido com as raízes dos incisivos centrais decíduos do paciente. Foi realizada a extração do dente retido no mento, removendo o mesmo por completo sendo feitas osteotomias e odontossecções. O paciente está em acompanhamento clínico à 1 ano após o tratamento cirúrgico.Palavras – chave: Dente incluso; Cirurgia Oral; Imaginologia. ABSTRACTThe tooth inserted  is nothing more than a tooth retained or impacted within the dental socket partially or completely that failed to erupt for pathological or simply anatomical reasons after the period of rhizogenesis. The canine, in particular, is of the utmost importance from the aesthetic and functional points of view. The displacement of the canine, even surpassing or approaching the midline before tooth eruption, is more frequent in the mandible than in the maxilla. This work aims to describe the case of a 21 - year - old patient who had a canine included in the mental region, in a transverse position, which was initially visualized on a periapical radiograph and later submitted to radiography with the Donavan technique. An occlusal radiograph showed the positioning of the tooth for the mental vestibular and the intima relationship of the retained tooth with the roots of the patient's central deciduous incisors. Removal of the tooth retained in the denture was performed, removing the tooth completely and osteotomies and odontosections were performed. The patient is in clinical follow-up at 1 year after the surgical treatment. key words: Tooth included; Oral surgery; Imaginology.

Background: Pelvic organ prolapse is a common condition, affecting about 50% of women with children. The aim of our study was to evaluate results and complication rates in a consecutive series of female patients undergoing robot-assisted laparoscopic hysterosacropexy (RALHSP). Materials and Methods: We performed a medical record review of female patients with uterine prolapse who had consecutively undergone RALHSP from February 2010 to 2013 at our department. Results: Fifteen patients were included in the analysis. All patients had uterine prolapse stage ≥II and urodynamic stress urinary incontinence. The mean age was 58.26 years. According to the Clavien-Dindo system, 4 out of 15 patients (26.6%) had grade 1 early complications and 1 patient had a grade 2 complication. At a median follow-up of 36 months, there was a significant prolapse relapse rate of 20% (3/15). Conclusion: In our hands RALHSP is easy to perform, with satisfying mid-term outcomes and a low complication rate.
