The present study includes evaluation 60 ears of 30 nasal patients admitted to department of Otolaryngology and Head-Neck Surgery at Banghabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University. Each patient underwent nasal surgery followed by anterior nasal packing for 48 hours. All patients were investigated by tympanometry prior to surgery, 2nd post operative day before pack removal and on 7th post operative day 5 days after pack removal. This study shows that nasal packing result in Eustachian tube dysfunction and negative middle ear pressure which is reversible in nature. Bangladesh J Otorhinolaryngol; April 2017; 23(1): 27-31

The larynx is the most common site for primary tumour of the head and neck region. It represents world wide approximately 1-2% of all cancers. A cross sectional study of 154 cases of laryngeal carcinoma was carried out in the in-patient department of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University and Dhaka Medical College during the period of two years with an aim to find out the frequency of site and subsite involvement of carcinoma of the larynx. The age range is 33-80 years and the over all male to female ratio is 29.8:1. Smoking and chewing habit are the most important associated factors. Majority of growths are found to be exophytic and most of the patients present at advanced stage. The commonest site of laryngeal carcinoma is supraglottic region and occurrence of supraglottic carcinoma than glottic carcinoma is statistically highly significant.

Tonsillectomy is the most frequently performed surgical procedure in Otolaryngological practice. We included 110 patients and divided into antibiotic group and placebo group, and followed up upto 7th POD. Parameters of observation were pain, fever, nausea & vomiting, reactionary & secondary haemorrhage, duration of hospital stay and return to normal diet. The result of this study showed that post operative pain and return to normal diet improved in antibiotic treated group than those who received placebo, but there is no statistically significant difference between two groups in respect of fever, nausea & vomiting, reactionary & secondary haemorrhage and duration of hospital stay.

A cross sectional study was carried out from July 2004 to June 2006 at the department of ENT of SSMC and Mitford Hospital, Dhaka with the aim to assess the graft take rate as well as hearing improvement. This study included 60 patients those underwent myringoplasty operations by underlay technique with temporalis fascia graft. The age range of patients was 15-45 years. In this study graft take rate was 86.67% after 2 months. There was no gross difference in graft take in respect of sex. The pre operative and post operative hearing threshold is statistically significant which indicates improvement of hearing. Therefore, myringoplasty is a valid treatment modality for closing perforation of tympanic membrane, prevention of infection and improvement of hearing.

Aims: To find out the occurrence of lymph node metastasis, level of neck node involvement and the pattern of clinical presentation of patients suffering from laryngeal carcinoma. Methods: A cross-sectional study on 90 cases of laryngeal carcinoma was carried out in the inpatient department of Otolaryngology- Head and neck surgery of Dhaka Medical College Hospital, Dhaka during a period of two years. Smoking and chewing betel leaf and tobacco are the most important predisposing factors. Results: Most of the cases presented with more than one symptom. Change of voice was the commonest symptom. Cervical lymphadenopathy are significantly associated with supraglottic carcinoma. Level IV and level III is the commonest level of the lymph node involvement in laryngeal carcinoma.
