Background: Emergency tracheostomy is the commonest surgical intervention performed as lifesaving procedure by ENT surgeons on patients in emergency room of ENT and ICU. Several operative and postoperative complications have been reported after tracheostomy including fatal hemorrhage. Massive subcutaneous neck emphysema occurred because ventilation started at the time when the hemorrhage was not completely managed and the tracheal tube was not fully secured. Objective: This study was conducted to compare haemorrhage and surgical emphysema as complication of emergency tracheostomy among patients admitted in Department of ENT and Head-Neck Surgery in Dhaka Medical College & Hospital. Methods and Materials: This was a Cross Sectional Study conducted in the ENT and Head- Neck Surgery Department, Dhaka Medical College Hospital from July 2015 to June 2016. A total of 90 patients were included who fulfilled the selection criteria. Non probability convenient sampling was used to collect data. Statistical analysis was done by SPSS version 21. Results: Mean± SD of the study subjects was 49.84±17.4 years with most patients belonged to 40-79 years age group. 28.9% patients had habit of smoking and betel nut chewing. (48.9%) patients suffered from Ca larynx. Out of 90 tracheostomy patients, 40(44.4%) patients had had different complications including haemorrhage (13.3%), surgical emphysema (10%), haemorrhage with surgical emphysema (6.7%), tube blockage (3.3%), wound infection (3.3%) and injury to local tissue (2.2%). Haemorrhage occurs from anterior jugular vein, middle thyroid veins and thyroid gland and included peroperative haemorrhage (7.8%), immediate post- operative haemorrhage, <24 hours, (4.43%) and late post-operative haemorrhage (1.2%). Conclusion: In this study, haemorrhage followed by surgical emphysema and haemorrhage with surgical emphysema were found as major complications following emergency tracheostomy, J Dhaka Medical College, Vol. 28, No.2, October, 2019, Page 159-163

Objective: To assess the rate of graft take and hearing improvement after myringoplasty. Methods: This cross sectional study was carried out among sixty (60) patients those who were admitted into the Department of Otolaryngology & Head-Neck Surgery, Dhaka Medical College Hospital and BSMMU with their descriptive history, clinical finding’s, pre and postoperative hearing assessment by PTA during the period of June’ 2006 to December’2006. Results: Sixty cases were diagnosed as CSOM (tubo-tympanic) disease and underwent myringoplasty. The lowest and highest age of the patient’s at presentation was 15 and 45 years respectively with a mean age of 27 years. The overall success rate was 80% (48 out of 60). The surgical failure was 20% (12 out of 60) and those were graft failure, re-perforation & anterior blunting at the last visit. Graft failure occurred during the first 8 weeks in 3 cases out of the 12 cases. Conclusion: Myringoplasty is a valid treatment modality for tubo-tympanic type of CSOM.

Objectives: To assess the ossicular changes in cholesteatoma both in children and in adults. Methods: This was a cross sectional comparative study which was carried out in the departments of Otolaryngology and Head-Neck Surgery of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University and Shaheed Suhrawardy Medical College Hospital during the period of January 2014 to December 2014. A total number of 55 patients having cholesteatoma were included in this study. Patients were divided into two groups according to their age. Age belonged to 18 years and more than 18 years were considered as group I (n=29) and group II (n=26) respectively. All patients were undergone Tympanomastoidectomy and all intraoperative findings were recorded. The two groups were compared with regard to extension of disease and status of ossicular chain. Results: In this study majority of patients were within 11-18 years in children group and within 19-30 years in adults group. Most of the children were male and female predominant in adult group. Extension of disease was significantly higher in children group. Ossicular erosion was also more frequent in children group. Conclusion: Extension of cholesteatoma and ossicular erosion was significantly higher in children group. Bangladesh J Otorhinolaryngol; April 2016; 22(1): 9-14

Hypocalcaemic tetany is one the commonest complication after total thyroidectomy. It may cause significant morbidity. Early detection and treatment have better out come. The main objective of the study is to find the incidence of hypcalcaemic tetany in post operative period after total thyroidectomy and average interval period of hypocalcaemia following surgery. This was an observational study conducted in the department of Otolaryngology & head-Neck Surgery Sylhet M.A.G. Osmani Medical College Hospital during 1st January 2006 to 31st December 2007. Pre-operative routine investigation, Thyroid Function test, Ultrasonography thyroid gland and cytological evaluation by FNAC were done in all patients. Ten patient developed hypocalcaemia after surgery. Among them only one suffered from permanent hypocalcaemia. Most of the patient developed symptoms about 48 hours after surgery. The Incidence and time interval of development of hypocalcaemic tetany after total thyroidectomy found in the series fully coincides with the results of other researchers globally.Faridpur Med. Coll.

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.
