Öğe Anterior palatoplasty for selected mild and moderate obstructive sleep apnea: preliminary results(Springer, 2014) Ugur, Kadriye Serife; Ark, Nebil; Kurtaran, Hanifi; Kizilbulut, Gultekin; Yuksel, Alper; Gunduz, MehmetThe aim of this prospective study was to evaluate the long-term efficacy anterior palatoplasty (AP) technique in treatment of patients with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Forty-two patients were diagnosed with mild to moderate OSA. Participants were treated with AP for mild or moderate OSA. Patients were evaluated with one night polysomnography before the surgery and 24 months after the surgery. Patients completed Epworth sleepiness scale (ESS), snoring VAS (visual analog scale) before and 24 months after the surgery. Forty two patients with a mean age of 39.2 +/- A 7.6 were included study. Success rate was 57.1 %. Total apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) values significantly decreased after 2 years (p < 0.025). Non-REM AHI and supine AHI values significantly decreased after 2 years (p < 0.025). The oxygen desaturation index changes significantly decreased after AP (p < 0.025). Snoring VAS values significantly decreased after AP (p < 0.025). ESS scores of patients significantly decreased (p < 0.001). We believe that AP is an effective, inexpensive technique for mild and moderate OSA patients.Öğe Giant Cell Reparative Granuloma in the Maxilla and Mandibula(Galenos Yayincilik, 2014) Akdere, Elif; Kurtaran, Hanifi; Ark, Nebil; Ugur, Kadriye Serife; Yuksel, Alper; Songur, Timur; Gunduz, MehmetGiant cell reparative granuloma is a disease with an unknown etiology, characterized of benign locally aggressive lesions invading mandible and maxilla in the head and neck region. These lesions usually present as a mass and cause deformities at bony structures. The use of various medical and surgical procedures in the treatment of the disease with its rare occurrence makes these lesions interesting. In this case report we present a 47 years old female patient who had a painful swelling in the left lower left jaw and oral cavity since 8 months. After her complaints proceeded despite medical therapy, she has been operated and pathology report confirmed a giant cell reparative granuloma. We also discuss differential diagnosis and the achievements in treatment procedures.Öğe Long-term results of one staged multilevel surgery with tongue suspension surgery or one level palatal surgery for treatment of moderate and severe obstructive sleep apnea(Springer, 2016) Yuksel, Alper; Ugur, Kadriye Serife; Kizilbulut, Gultekin; Ark, Nebil; Kurtaran, Hanifi; Kaya, Mesut; Gunduz, MehmetThe objective of this study is to evaluate and compare the long-term efficacy of the one staged multilevel surgery (MLS) with tongue suspension (TBS) surgery or one level palatal surgery for treatment of moderate and severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). This is a prospective cross-sectional study. Setting: University hospital. Thirty-three patients diagnosed as moderate to severe OSA. Patients, with a parts per thousand yen50 % retropalopharyngeal obstruction on the Muller maneuver, were treated with palatal surgeries (PS) and patients, with a parts per thousand yen50 % retropalopharyngeal obstruction on the Muller maneuver with a parts per thousand yen50 % base of the tongue collapse, were treated with palatal surgeries and tongue suspension surgery (TBS). Patients were evaluated with one night polysomnography before the surgery and 24 months after the surgery. Patients completed Epworth sleepiness scale (ESS), snoring VAS (visual analog scale) before and 24 months after the surgery. Nine-teen patients with a mean age of 46.1 +/- A 8.3 underwent palatal surgeries (PS) and 14 patients with a mean age of 41.4 +/- A 8.9 underwent PS plus TBS. Success rate in TBS+PS group was 57.1 % and in PS group was 42.1 %. In both groups total apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) values significantly decreased after 2 years (p < 0.025) but there was no statistically significant difference between TBS+PS and PS groups. Supine AHI levels were reduced statistically significant in both groups postoperatively (p < 0.025). There was not any significant difference postoperatively in non-supine AHI levels in both groups (p > 0.025). There were significant postoperative changes in ODI, AVO2, MOS, ESS, Snoring VAS values in PS group (p < 0.025). In TBS+PS group there was a significant difference postoperatively only in ODI values. Treatment of OSA patients with retropalatal or retropalatal and retroglossal obstruction, in a one staged surgery, is a safe and easy procedure. We have achieved favorable long-term outcomes in moderate-severe OSA patients undergoing both palatal surgery and tongue suspension surgery.Öğe NATURAL AND EASILY ACCESSIBLE SINONASAL CARE PRODUCT, VIRGIN OLIVE OIL: A PROSPECTIVE CONTROLLED CLINICAL TRIAL(Carbone Editore, 2015) Kankilic, Ekrem Said; Kurtaran, Hanifi; Yuksel, Alper; Ark, Nebil; Ugur, Kadriye Serife; Yildirim, Yusuf; Kurt, KenanIntroduction: We aimed to investigate the efficiency of virgin olive oil for postoperative nasal care in patients who underwent sinonasal surgery. Materials and methods: Forty patients who underwent sinonasal surgery were prospectively randomized into two groups (Groups S, the study group, and C, the control group). In both groups, isotonic saline was applied to both nasal cavities, and subsequently, virgin olive oil was applied to a random nasal cavity in the study group during the postoperative period. Patients were examined at postoperative day 2, 7, and 15, and crusting and wound healing were evaluated. Patient nasal comfort was assessed using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Results: When the groups were evaluated for crusting, wound healing, and the VAS, the results for Groups S and C were significantly different. The VAS scores were statistically significant in Group S compared with Group C only on postoperative day 15. Crusting was statistically significant on the Group S compared with Group C on postoperative days 2 and 15. Wound healing was statistically significant in Group S compared with Group C only on postoperative day 15. Conclusion: We have demonstrated that the benefit of using virgin olive oil after sinonasal surgery. Olive oil was found to be effective for increasing patient comfort, decreasing crusting, and accelerating wound healing.Öğe The effect of different nasal irrigation solutions following septoplasty and concha radiofrequency: a prospective randomized study(Assoc Brasileira Otorrinolaringologia & Cirurgia Cervicofacial, 2018) Kurtaran, Hanifi; Ugur, K. Serife; Yilmaz, Ceyda Sel; Kaya, Mesut; Yuksel, Alper; Ark, Nebil; Gunduz, MehmetIntroduction: Nasal irrigation solutions are widely used following endonasal surgery. These irrigation solutions remove infective debris and crusts, reducing the probability of synechia formation, and accelerate mucosal healing. Objective: The aim of the present study was to compare the effects of nasal irrigation solutions with different contents following septoplasty and concha radiofrequency. Methods: The present study was a prospective, randomized, controlled simple blind study of 120 patients who underwent septoplasty and bilateral concha radiofrequency. Patients were divided into four groups according to the nasal irrigation solution used: tap water, buffered isotonic saline, saline with xylitol, and hypertonic sea water. Patients were examined on the 7th and 15th postoperative days. A saccharine test was applied to determine mucociliary activity preoperatively and on the 7th and 15th postoperative days. Patients were asked about drying and obstruction using a 10 cm visual analog scale. In addition, patients were examined to determine the crusting score. Results: There was no significant difference found in the preoperative and 7th and 15th postoperative days' mucociliary clearance times among the four groups. The crusting score was found to be significantly lower in the hypertonic sea water group (p < 0.001). Drying and obstruction on the 7th and 15th postoperative days were found to be significantly more comfortable in the hypertonic sea water group (p < 0.001). Conclusion: Hypertonic sea water is the recommended irrigation solution, as it is associated with Less crusting, drying, and obstruction in the nose for the postoperative period following septoplasty and concha radiofrequency.
