CRS symptoms in children can be mild and uncharacteristic. The disease is multifactorial, and therefore requires a multifaceted, multidisciplinary approach. Treatment of CRS in children is difficult, infections often recur, and treatment methods are often ineffective. In children, surgery is performed infrequently, only when other therapies have failed. The first stage of surgery is adenoidectomy. Functional endoscopic surgery of the paranasal sinuses may be considered if no improvement of the patient after exhausting all possibilities of conservative treatment.

Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) is most commonly used in chronic rhinosinusitis treatment. This method is also applicable to other diseases, including the treatment of symptomatic ectopic teeth. Ectopic teeth are a quite rare phenomenon. They may appear within the facial region, as well as in other parts of the body. The article describes two cases of ectopic teeth appearing within the nose area and paranasal sinuses, there endoscopic surgery has been used in the extraction, which resulted in the remission of symptoms.

Background. Pelvic organ prolapse is one of the most common women's diseases worldwide. Genital prolapse incidence among women over 50 is on average 41%. There are variety methods for genital prolapse treatment; they are divided into surgical and non-surgical ones. One of the conservative treatment methods is a use of pessaries. According to different studies an efficacy of pessary therapy is approximately 60%. Aim to estimate a safety and efficacy of genital prolapse conservative treatment with a cube pessary on the basis on standardized questionnaires. Outcomes and methods. In ANO “NRITO Clinic” Urology and Gynecology Center 26 women with various degree genital prolapse were treated with pessary within the period from August 2015 to March 2016. Efficacy of pessaries use, patient satisfaction with this treatment method and complications rate were estimated. Results. Urogynecological cube pessary use in a treatment of various types of genital prolapse is quite an effective method (p

Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) management frequently comprises conservative treatment, including a combination of topical and oral corticosteroids (OCSs). However, in the midst of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, providers may have been reluctant to prescribe OCSs out of possible concern for an increased risk of contracting COVID-19 or developing more severe COVID-19 symptoms. This study thus sought to explore the association between the use of OCSs and the development of COVID-19 in patients with CRS. We found no statistically significant difference in the rates of patients with a positive diagnosis of COVID-19 who underwent an OCS treatment regimen compared to those who did not, both within 28 days ( P = .389) and 14 days ( P = .676) prior to the COVID-19 test. Given OCSs are often a major component of medical management of CRS, this study proves helpful in counseling patients on risks of steroid use in CRS treatment during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The aim of this study was to evaluate prevalence of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) and nasal polyps in adult patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) in Russian Federation. Additionally, we investigated the clinical course of CRS and developed the optimal therapeutic strategy.Methods. Three hundred and forty eight CF patients were involved in the study. Physical examination, computed tomography (CT) of paranasal sinuses and audiometry, if needed, were used. CRS and bilateral nasal polyps were diagnosed in 28 patients. Nasal endoscopy, SNOT-20 questionnaire, rhinomanometry, micro - biological examination of sputum and mucus from paranasal sinuses (obtained during puncture or surgery), spirometry, and measurement of serum markers of inflammation were used. Endoscopic sinus surgery was used in 14 patients (the group 1) and others were treated non-surgically (the group 2). Both group were treated during 6 months using intranasal mometasone, mucolytics and antibiotics via PARI SINUSTM nebulizer.Results. An improvement in symptoms, CT signs, rhinomanometry parameters and endoscopic signs was seen in both groups after treatment and was more prominent in the surgical treatment group compared to the non-surgical treatment group. Bacterial load reduction in nasal sinuses, decrease in the rate of pulmonary disease exacerbations, and an improvement in oxygen blood saturation were found in the surgical treatment group only. Treatment of CRS did not affect lung function, sputum microbiology and serum inflammatory markers.Conclusion. Endoscopic sinus surgery followed by intranasal mucolytics and antibacterials is an effective and well-tolerated treatment in adult CF patients with CRS.
