Item Throat Symptoms Before and After Septal Surgery in Adults with Nasal Septum Deviation(2023) Jafarov, Sabuhi; Isazade, Artoghrul; Bahcecitapar, Melike; Buyuklu, Adnan Fuat; 35763366Objective To investigate subjective throat symptoms with the Qualities of Sore Throat Index (QuaSTI) in adults with nasal septum deviation. Study Design Prospective study. Setting Baskent University Ankara Hospital. Methods Group 1 included patients with septum deviation. Preoperative data were obtained through evaluation of subjective nasal obstruction with the NOSE (Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation) and throat symptoms with the QuaSTI (group 1a). After 3 months, the same patient group was reevaluated with the NOSE and QuaSTI to obtain postoperative data (group 1b). Group 2 was formed of healthy volunteers with no nasal obstruction. Results The mean +/- SD and median (range) values of the QuaSTI total score were 33.39 +/- 29.50 and 18.5 (0-90) in group 1a, 7.49 +/- 4.31 and 7 (0-18) in group 2, and 7.58 +/- 9.24 and 4.50 (0-49) in group 1b (group 1a vs 2, P < .001; group 1a vs 1b, P < .0001). A significant difference was determined between groups 1a and 2 with respect to the QuaSTI sensory score (26.58 +/- 23.54 and 18 [0-73] vs 6.51 +/- 3.58 and 7 [0-15], P < .001, respectively) and between groups 1a and 1b for the QuaSTI functional score (6.03 +/- 6.62 and 3 [0-20] vs 1.50 +/- 2.47 and 0.50 [0-13], P = .004). No significant difference was found between groups 1a and 2 in terms of the QuaSTI emotional score (P = .126). Conclusion Various persistent sensory and functional throat symptoms can be seen in patients experiencing nasal obstruction associated with septum deviation, and the majority of these symptoms recover after septal surgery.Item The Genotoxic Effect of Nasal Steroids on Human Nasal Septal Mucosa and Cartilage Cells In Vitro(2023) Babakurban, Seda Turkoglu; Vural, Omer; Kasap, Yesim Korkmaz; Hizal, Evren; Yurtcu, Erkan; Buyuklu, Adnan Fuat; 0000-0001-5067-4044; 0000-0001-7157-0850; 35695134; AAI-8856-2021; AAJ-1454-2021Objective: To determine whether budesonide (Bud) and triamcinolone acetate (TA) cause DNA fractures in the nasal mucosa and septal cartilage cells through examinations using the comet assay technique. Study design: Prospective, controlled experimental study. Setting: University hospital. Methods: Septal mucosal epithelial and cartilage tissue samples were taken from 9 patients. Cell cultures were prepared from these samples. Then, budesonide and triamcinolone acetate active ingredients at 2 different doses of 0.2 and 10 mu M were separately applied to the cell cultures formed from both tissues of each patient, except the control cell culture, for 7 days in one group and 14 days in one group. After the applications, genotoxic damage was scored with the comet assay technique and the groups were compared. Results: In both the budesonide and triamcinolone acetate groups, the comet scores at low and high doses, on the 7th and 14th days were found to be significantly higher in both cartilage and epithelial tissue than in the control group. Conclusion: The study results showed that budesonide and triamcinolone acetate lead to a significantly high rate of genotoxic damage in both epithelial tissue and cartilage tissue.Item Effect of Functional Septorhinoplasty with Concha Bullosa Resection on Sinonasal Symptoms(2023) Inan, Serhat; Gultekin, Goknil; Yilmaz, Ismail; Buyuklu, Adnan Fuat; 0000-0001-8821-4481; 0000-0002-9001-7812; 36196949Objective To evaluate the impact of functional septorhinoplasty (SRP) with and without concha bullosa resection (CBR) on sinonasal symptoms and nasal obstruction severity using the Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation (NOSE) and Sino-Nasal Outcome Test-22 (SNOT-22) scale. Methods Consecutive adult participants who underwent SRP were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into two groups: Group 1 (SRPwCB) underwent SRP with CBR (bulbous or extensive type MTs), and Group 2 (SRPO) underwent SRP only (normal or lamellar-type MTs). The NOSE and SNOT-22 scales were assessed preoperatively and at the 3-month follow-up evaluation. Patient demographics, self-reported outcomes, nasoseptal angle (NSA), and Lund-Mackay scores (LMS) were analyzed. Results There were 119 participants (SRPwCB n = 57; SPRO n = 62). There were no statistically significant differences in age, sex, allergy, smoking, LMS, and NSA according to the presence of MTCB. Compared to SRPO, SRPwCB patients had significantly higher preoperative NOSE and SNOT-22 scores, whereas their postoperative NOSE and SNOT-22 scores were similar. SRPwCB patients also had significantly more postnasal discharge, ear fullness, facial pain/pressure, poor sleep, night waking, daytime fatigue, sense of taste/smell, and blockage symptoms before surgery compared with SRPO patients. Conclusion SRPwCB patients had higher nasal obstruction and sinonasal symptom scores and greater improvement after surgery than SRPO patients. Therefore, evaluating the middle turbinate before functional SRP may be an important for surgical treatment of sinonasal symptoms. Level of Evidence 3 Laryngoscope, 2022
