Objectives: To find out the pattern of complications, frequency, risk factors and the management after total laryngectomy. Methods: It was a cross sectional study done in the Department of Otolaryngology & Head- Neck Surgery, Shaheed Suhrawardy Medical College Hospital, Dhaka from July 2007 to Dec 2009. 15 patients undergoing total laryngectomy for histologically proven Carcinoma larynx were included in this study. Patients were reviewed after surgery and any complication that occurred was recorded. The presentation, diagnosis and management of these complications were discussed after total laryngectomy. Results: There were 15 male patients, 3 non radiated cases and 12 post irradiated cases. Age of patients ranged from 35-75 years. Complications included wound infection (04), pharyngocutaneous fistula (03), flap necrosis (01), pharyngeal stenosis (01), stomal stenosis (01) and stomal recurrence (01). Conclusions: Wound infection and pharyngocutaneous fistula are most common complications after total laryngectomy. Preoperative radiotherapy is an important risk factor for development of pharyngocutaneous fistula in total laryngectomy patients.

Objective: To evaluate the common complications following parotid surgery. Material & methods: A retrospective study was done from January 2011 to December 2019 in the Department of ENT & Head Neck Surgery, Enam Medical College & hospital, Savar. Sixty (60) patients with both benign & malignant parotid disease underwent surgical treatment was selected for this study. All cases were diagnosed preoperatively by Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC). Patients with preoperative facial nerve palsy were excluded from this study. Patients were followed up for six months and per operative & postoperative complications were evaluated. Results: Out of 60 patients, superficial parotidectomy was done in52 (86.67%) patients and total conservative parotidectomy was done in 08 (13.33%) patients. In this study 56 cases were benign and 04 cases were malignant. Among this 41 (68.33%) pleomorphic adenoma, 05 (8.33%) warthin’s tumour, 03 (5%) benign lymphoepithelial cyst, 03(5%) haemangioma, 02(3.33) sialocele, 01(1.67) dermoid and 01 (1.67%) had salivary fistula. All 04(6.67%) malignant cases were diagnosed as mucoepidermoid carcinoma. Majority of pleomorphic adenomas (92.68%) involved the superficial lobe of the gland. Most commonly observed post operative complication was facial nerve paresis (05%), but only 1.67% developed permanent palsy. Others complication includes Hypoesthesia of the greater auricular nerve (05%), Frey’s syndrome (3.33%) & wound infection (3.33%). Conclusion: Facial nerve palsy is the frequent complication after parotid surgery in this study. Surgeons have to pay attention to minimize the risk of complication during parotidectomy. However, this operation continues to be a challenge on account of the wide range of tumours encountered and the variations in size and location and the facial nerve preservation.

Objectives: To see the way of presentation of extracranial complication, relationship between socio-economic conditions and extracranial complication of chronic suppuration otitis media.Methods: This is a cross-sectional study carried out in Department of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, Sir Salimullah Medical College & Mitford Hospital and Dhaka Medical College Hospital from 1st July 2009 to 30th June 2010. The diagnosis was made by detailed history, clinical examination & investigation. Analyzed data was presented by various tables.Results: In this study male (59%), lower class people (57%), age 11-20 years, rural (66%) and less educated patients were more affected. Having bath in the ponds and rivers suffers more. Clinical presentation of CSOM with complications were aural discharge (100%), hearing impairment (94%), post auricular swelling (15%), pain in the ear (21%), postauricular discharge (27%) and mass in the EAC (12%). Here found aural discharge mostly malodorous and scanty, attic perforation and cholesteatoma. Post auricular abscess most common (47%) extracranial complication and labyrinthitis was the lowest (3%). Atticoantral variety was more common (89%) than that of tubotympanic disease (11%).Conclusion: From the review of the series we found the frequency & types of extracranial complications arising from CSOM and known the current epidemiological data. It can produce awareness among all level of medical practitioners and enhance prompt diagnosis and treatment.J Bangladesh Coll Phys Surg 2016; 34(1): 3-8

Objectives: To evaluate the type and degree of hearing loss in CSOM and also to find out any relationship between the hearing loss and disease duration. Methods: This was a cross sectional study which was carried out in the departments of Otolaryngology and Head-Neck Surgery of BSMMU and Dhaka Medical College Hospital during the period of July’2011 to December’2011. A total 80 cases of CSOM were collected. Patient below the age of 5 years and patients above the age of 50 years were excluded from this study. The diagnosis of CSOM was established on the basis of clinical examination- otoscopy and tunning fork test. Pure tone audiogram (PTA) was done for hearing assessment. Thus, 80 cases of CSOM were collected with their PTA reports of 117 ears. Results: The study included 80 patients of CSOM, of them 60 were with tubo-tympanic type and 20 were with attico-antral disease. Highest number of patients was in 2nd decade in both type of disease. 44.79% of ears of tubo-tympanic type were associated with mild (26-40 dB) hearing loss and 42.85% attico-antral variety was with moderate (41-55 dB) hearing loss. Conductive type of hearing loss was common in both types of disease. 98% of ears in tubotympanic and 81% of ears in attico-antral disease had conductive hearing loss. Mixed type (2.08%) of hearing loss was found in tubo-tympanic disease. Attico-antral disease was also associated with mixed (14.28%) and SNHL (4.76%). Conclusion: The above study revealed that hearing loss in CSOM is mostly conductive in nature rarely sensorineural in type. Bangladesh J Otorhinolaryngol; April 2017; 23(1): 59-66
