“…In the first place is the general applicability of the results limited because only 74% of the patients completed the study. However, this percentage equals those of other studies (13,14,21). The patients lost to follow-up did not differ from the others preoperatively, but we cannot exclude that postoperative results were less favorable.…”

“…The Belfast rule of thumb is empirically defined, but more commonly used is its graphic derivative (23), the Glasgow Benefit Plot (14,17,19,20,23): normal hearing is a hearing impairment of 30 dB or lesser and symmetrical hearing as interaural difference of 10 dB or lesser. Using this stricter definition of symmetrical hearing in this study would make the small symmetrical hearing group even smaller and further impair statistical comparison among The overall score is the mean score of the 4 listening situations.…”

“…In counseling before stapes surgery, tone audiometric values are commonly used as the only predictive factors of postoperative success. Other known positive predictive factors are age younger than 50 years (13) and long duration of the hearing loss (14). The predictive value of other preoperative factors is unknown, such as personality characteristics or speech recognition in the complex listening situations of daily life.…”

“…ABGs within the range of 10-25 dB are considered small ABGs [Wiet et al, 1986;Lippy et al, 1997;Salvinelli et al, 2003;Salmon et al, 2015]. It has been suggested that surgery performed in patients with otosclerosis and preoperative small ABGs could result in better postoperative hearing outcomes [Hüttenbrink, 2003;Marx et al, 2011] and improved quality of life [Subramaniam et al, 2006]. Lippy et al [1997] and, more recently, Salmon et al [2015] reported encouraging early postoperative results, with a low risk of hearing deterioration after stapedotomies performed in patients with preoperative small ABGs.…”

Objectives: To assess the long-term effectiveness of stapedotomies performed on patients with otosclerosis and preoperative small air-bone gaps (ABGs). Methods: Retrospective study comparing the 10-year postoperative hearing outcomes after primary stapedotomies in patients with small (≤20 dB) and large ABGs (> 20 dB). Ninety out of 175 stapedotomies (22 and 68 in the small and large ABG groups, respectively) were monitored with long-term follow-ups. Results: Ten years after the operation, hearing measurements were similar for both groups, although a significant decline of bone conduction thresholds was evident (p = 0.007 and p < 0.001, respectively). An improvement of ≥10 dB in the postoperative ABG (clinical improvement) was achieved only in the large ABG group. Conclusions: Even though long-term hearing levels will evolve similarly in patients with ≤20 and > 20 dB preoperative ABGs, the lack of clinical improvement found in the small ABG group is not in favor of an early surgery.

“…BAI and BDI scales were also used by Ear Nose and Throat and Orthopedic specialists after treatments for hearing loss and trauma (4,25,26). An increased length of hospital stay was noted in patients with higher depression and anxiety scores after colorectal surgery compared patients with lower scores (27).…”

OBJECTİVE:Pilonidal sinus is characterized by high operative morbidity mainly due to wound problems. We aimed to compare the quality of health, comfort and psychological status in patients who underwent surgery for pilonidal sinus.METHODS:A total of 205 pilonidal sinus patients operated on with either primary closure or Limberg flap reconstruction were compared in terms of depression, anxiety, and long-term quality of health by using Short Form 36, Beck Depression Inventory, and Beck Anxiety Inventory scales.RESULTS:There were 107 patients in the primary closure group with a mean follow-up of 29.6±7.7 months and 98 patients in the Limberg flap group with a mean follow-up of 34.1±7.3 months. In the SF-36 analysis, the mental health and bodily pain scores (59±6 and 56±11 in the primary closure group and 62±8 and 61±10 in the Limberg flap group) were significantly higher in the Limberg flap group (p = 0.014 and p = 0.002, respectively). The mean Beck Depression Inventory (19±6.13 vs. 16±4.90 p<0.001) and Beck Anxiety Inventory (19±6.27 vs. 16±4.90 p<0.001) scores were lower in the Limberg flap group.CONCLUSION:Limberg flap reconstruction produced better quality of health scores according to the SF 36, especially in terms of mental health and bodily pain. There was a higher tendency towards anxiety and depression in the primary closure group.
