Item Cochlear implantation surgery experience of a tertiary clinic(DERMAN MEDICAL PUBL, 2018-01-01) Mutlu, Ahmet; Iseri, Mete; Durgut, Merve; Topdag, Murat; Erdogan, Selvet; Ozturk, MuratAim: Cochlear implantation (CI) is a commonly performed procedure for severe to profound deafness in patients. It has been widely used for this purpose, and it becomes more complicated than expected for new institutes. In this report, we aimed to discuss the patient features, surgery indications, results of the CI surgeries in the experience of a single center. Material and Method: We retrospectively analyzed 65 patients who were underwent CI in a tertiary hospital. Hearing loss etiologies, hearing results and postoperative complications were assessed. Results: Sixty-five patients were evaluated within in two groups as 0-6 years-old and over 7 years-old. Twenty-nine patients were placed in 0-6 years-old group, and 36 patients were placed in over 7-years-old group. In 0-6-years-old groupItem The Healing Effects of Autologous Mucosal Grafts in Experimentally Injured Rabbit Maxillary Sinuses(KOREAN SOC OTORHINOLARYNGOL, 2016-01-01) Topdag, Murat; Kara, Ahmet; Konuk, Esma; Demir, Necdet; Ozturk, Murat; Caliskan, Sebla; Topdag, Deniz Ozlem; Ulubil, Arif; Keskin, Ibrahim Gurkan; Iseri, MeteObjectives. Healing processes of the nose and paranasal sinuses are quite complex, and poorly understood. In this study, we aimed to compare the effect of mucosal autologous grafts on the degenerated rabbit maxillary sinus mucosa with spontaneous wound healing. It is hypothesized that mucosal grafts will enhance ciliogenesis and improve the morphology of regenerated cilia. Methods. Ten female New Zealand rabbits were included in the study. They underwent external maxillary sinus surgery through a transcutaneous approach. A total of 20 maxillary sinuses were randomly divided into 2 groups: `spontaneous healing group' and `autologous graft group.' The animals were sacrificed at the 14th day after the surgery. Scanning electron microscope (SEM), and light microscope were used for the evaluation. Results. Cellular composition of the graft group is better than the spontaneous healing group. The graft group had larger areas covered with ciliary epithelium than the spontaneous healing group, and the mean length of the cilias were also longer. Additionally, there were wider cilia with abnormal morphology areas in the spontaneous healing group. Conclusion. In our opinion, covering of the denuded areas with a graft improves re-epithelization, and may prevent the early complications after sinus surgeries.
