Long-term Outcome of Cochlear Implant in Patients with Chronic Otitis Media: One-stage Surgery Is Equivalent to Two-stage Surgery

AbstractObjective:To observe the long-term outcome of ossiculoplasty using autogenous mastoid cortical bone in chronic otitis media in-patients.Methods:Sixty-one ears of 57 in-patients with chronic otitis media, with or without cholesteatoma, underwent type III tympanoplasty using autogenous mastoid cortical bone as the prosthetic material. Twenty-one ears were treated by canal wall down mastoidectomy and 40 ears by canal wall up mastoidectomy. The follow-up period was 3 to 6 years (average 4.2 years). Pure tone averages for thresholds at 0.5, 1, 2 and 3 kHz were calculated using standard conventional audiometry.Results:The pre-operative mean air–bone gap of 31.6 dB, for all ears, was reduced to 20.3 dB post-operatively. For the 40 canal wall up ears, this value decreased from 30.8 dB to 19.9 dB, and for the 21 canal wall down ears it decreased from 33.0 dB to 21.0 dB. The differences between the pre- and post-operative mean air–bone gap values were significant.Conclusion:No cases of extrusion, necrosis or resorption were exhibited for the autogenous mastoid cortical bone prosthesis. A significant hearing improvement was obtained in the majority of cases and this remained stable over time.

Abstract Research examining the outcome of pediatric cochlear implantation consists of certain limitations, including the use of assessments that are often restricted to auditory-spoken skills, biased recruitment practices, and lack of consideration for identity development. To better understand the long-term outcome of implantation, it is vital to seek out individuals who decide to stop using their device and elicit feedback related to their decision. Thus, 11 adults, who were past cochlear implant (CI) users, were interviewed to gain insight into factors that had led to their decision regarding cochlear implant nonuse. Results indicated several variables to have played a role, but the most prominent factors were limitations in postimplant auditory perceptual development and development of a d/Deaf identity. Although cochlear implant practices and technology have improved over the past few decades, we need to recognize the continued variability in outcome to ensure the provision of the most accurate information and appropriate services.

Background: Hypospadias is a common congenital anomaly affecting the penis, two-stage repair becoming more interesting in era of tubularized incised urethral plate (TIP). Functional outcome of hypospadias repair either single or two stage is as important as cosmetic outcome. In contemporary series , structured scoring systems (Hypospadias Objective Scoring Evaluation-HOSE and Pediatric Penile Perception Scoring -PPPS), evaluation of photographs and uroflowmetry, were used to assess results of hypospadias repair. Objectives: We have assessed outcomes of two-stage hypospadias repair using Hypospadias Objective Scoring Evaluation(HOSE) and uroflowmetry. Material and Methods: Over a period of eight years, from January 1997 to December 2004, One hundred and twenty six hypospadias patients were treated, ninety of them had two-stage repair and36 single-stage repairs. The HOSE questionnaire and uroflowmetry were obtained to evaluate the long term outcome of two stage hypospadias repair. Results: The age at time of assessment ranged from 8 to 23 year-old, with mean follow up of 39.78months. Thrifty five patients had proximal hypospadias and 20 had distal varieties of hypospadias. Operations performed were 37 Bracka?s and 18 Byar?s procedures. Of the 55 patients had complete two stage hypospadias repair and agree to participate in the study , Nineteen patients had acceptable HOSE and 36 had non-acceptable score. Uroflow rates of 43 subjects were below the fifth centile in three patients ,equivocal (between 5th and 25th centile ) in four patients and above 25th centile in 36 subjects. Conclusion: Two stage repair is a suitable technique for all types of hypospadias with versatile outcomes. HOSE and uroflowmetry are simple, easy, non invasive and non expensive tools to assess long term outcomes objectively.

Abstract Objective To evaluate the middle-period and long-term outcomes of one-stage non-ring TVP in patients with MVR. Methods 427 patients who received one-stage mechanical MVR and non-ring TVP from January 2005 to January 2009 at Department of Cardiovascular Surgery of West China Hospital; After screening, 400 patients were finally recruited, who reexamined by UCG 10 years after surgery.and recorded UCG data. Results The patients were followed up for 10 years after surgery. Compared with the situation before surgery,RV(mm):21.47 ± 3.14 vs.22.37 ± 3.28,TAEDD(mm):32.18 ± 4.94 vs.35.88 ± 4.07 and TESD(mm):25.90 ± 4.90 vs.28.12 ± 4.12 decreased significantly at 5 years after surgery (P < 0.05). However, RA(mm):49.35 ± 13.05 vs. 50.69 ± 12.90 did not change significantly (P > 0.05). LVEF (%): 61.54 ± 8.23 vs. 57.38 ± 8.87 also increased significantly after surgery (P < 0.05). Compared with the preoperative situation, at 10 years after surgery, RA(mm) was 56.90 ± 12.90, RV (mm) 23.12 ± 4.58, TESD (mm) 28.80 ± 5.14 and LVEF (%) 59.81 ± 8.95, all of which increased significantly (P < 0.05); however, TEDD (mm) was 35.41 ± 5.11, which did not change significantly (P > 0.05). Compared with preoperative situation, the ratios of severity of TR at 5 and 10 years after surgery improved significantly (P < 0.05). Conclusion It is reasonable to use the tricuspid annular diameter in patients with mitral valve disease as an indication for one-stage TVP. The one-stage non-ring TVP is conducive to preventing aggravation of TR, so as to achieve a better long-term outcome. Besides, oral diuretics are recommended to treat TR after surgery for such patients.
