Intracapsular Tonsillectomy

AbstractObjectiveThis study compared post-tonsillectomy pain scores and recovery using the coblation-only technique, comparing extracapsular versus intracapsular approaches.MethodsA prospective study was performed in our paediatric ENT department. Pain scores were recorded on days 0, 2, 4 and 8, using a visual analogue scale ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (extreme pain). Information was also collected on: return to normal fluid and solid intake, and any post-operative visits to primary care.ResultsIn total, 101 patients were included in the analysis. Average pain scores were statistically lower on days 2, 4 and 8 in the intracapsular group compared to the extracapsular cohort. The intracapsular cohort also returned sooner to normal fluid and solids intake. The extracapsular group were more likely to visit the general practitioner post-operatively.ConclusionIntracapsular tonsillectomy appears to result in reduced morbidity overall and should be considered as a viable alternative in relevant cases.

A Prospective Study

AbstractForty-one adults were entered into a prospective study to investigate the pattern of pain over 10 days after elective dissection tonsillectomy. The severity of pain was scored by the patient on a visual analogue scale. The results confirm that tonsillectomy is a very painful experience and the provision of adequate analgesia is of paramount importance, especially if day-case tonsillectomy is performed.

<p><strong>OBJECTIVE:</strong> In this study, our objective was to assess the pain scores using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) in patients who were given tramadol prior to office hysteroscopy in order to demonstrate its analgesic activity when given before this procedure. <br /><strong>STUDY DESIGN:</strong> This prospective study conducted in year 2015 included two group of patients undergoing office hysteroscopy that were defined on the basis of the type of analgesia. Patients in the first group (Group 1, n=44) received oral tramadol prior to the procedure, while patients in the other group (Group 2, n=44) received placebo. VAS scores were determined during (0 minutes) and after (15 minutes) the procedure. <br /><strong>RESULTS:</strong> There were no significant differences between groups in terms of age, parity and body mass index (p&gt;0.05). Comparison of VAS scores at 0 and 15 minutes, lower values were observed in tramadol patients at 0 minutes (p&lt;0.05), while scores at 15 minutes were not significantly different between the groups (p&gt;0.05). <br /><strong>CONCLUSION:</strong> Although oral tramadol given prior to office hysteroscopy was effective and safe in reducing pain during the procedure, it is not useful for the pain that occurs after processing.</p>

Objectives The diagnosis of chronic rhinosinusitis without nasal polyps (CRSsNP) and distinguishing it from allergic rhinitis is difficult. Yet, early detection of CRSsNP is important to prevent progressive and severe chronic rhinosinusitis. Our aim was to compare diagnostic accuracy of symptoms, endoscopy, and imaging signs of CRSsNP and allergic rhinitis -only phenotypes. Setting Prospective controlled follow-up study. Participants Forty-two nonsmoking patients visiting tertiary care due to CRSsNP and 19 nonsmoking volunteer controls with allergic rhinitis filled a symptoms questionnaire and underwent nasal endoscopy off-seasonally. All CRSsNP patients underwent computed tomography scans of paranasal sinuses. All the allergic rhinitis control subjects and 14 of the CRSsNP patients underwent sinus magnetic resonance imaging. Results Radiologic Lund–Mackay score, duration of symptoms, visual analogue scale scores of symptoms, and Sinonasal Outcome Test 22 were significantly higher in the CRSsNP group compared to allergic rhinitis control group. These factors also correlated in part with each other. Endoscopic score did not correlate with other factors, nor did it differ between CRSsNP and allergic rhinitis groups. The highest area under curve value was demonstrated for visual analogue scale score of facial pain/pressure (0.93) and score ≥4/10 showed 60% sensitivity and 95% specificity for detecting CRSsNP group ( P < .001). Radiologic sign of obstructed osteomeatal complex showed 100% specificity and 38% sensitivity for detecting CRSsNP group ( P < .001). Conclusions CRSsNP phenotype could be primarily distinguished from allergic rhinitis by higher facial pain/pressure score and secondarily by radiologic sings of obstructed ostiomeatal complex and higher Lund–Mackay score. Endoscopic score has limited value in distinguishing CRSsNP from allergic rhinitis.

Allergic rhinitis (AR) is the most common form of rhinitis and the most common allergic disease in children and adults. Numerous clinical studies and daily practice indicate a pronounced negative effect of symptoms of AR on patients’ quality of life, their usual daily activity, cognitive functions, mood and sleep. The type and severity of individual symptoms can vary from patient to patient, and therapy should be directed to the overall control of the symptoms of AR. It is important to obtain reliable and comparable information regarding the severity of AR symptoms before, during and after the treatment, which can be assessed using a simple and accessible tool - a visual analogue scale (VAS). VAS validated for patients with AR allows to define a controlled, partially controlled and uncontrolled AR. The article proposes an algorithm for the treatment of AR, depending on the severity of the symptoms, assessed using VAS.

Controlled Study

Aim: To compare the efficacy of single- and double-species mite allergen immunotherapy. Materials and methods: An open, pseudo-randomized, controlled study was conducted (n = 125 allergic rhinitis patients). The primary end point involved the visual analogue scale. Secondary end points included a basophil activation test and serum specific IgE and IgG4 assays. Results: Visual analogue scale analysis indicated considerable reductions in both groups. Both treatments improved quality of life and induced sIgG4 antibody production. Basophil activation and serum IgE inhibition were not evident in either treatment. Neither treatment displayed an early stage immune synergistic effect on cross-allergens. Conclusions: Both treatments were effective against allergic rhinitis, and statistical differences were not observed. Future studies may require long-term, large-scale research.
