Comparative Study[Comparison of patients undergoing functional endoscopic sinus surgery combined with septoplasty or septorhinoplasty].
We compared patients who underwent functional endoscopic sinus surgery combined with septoplasty or septorhinoplasty and evaluated the concurrent applicability of septorhinoplasty and endoscopic sinus surgery. ⋯ Complications and the severity of sinus pathologies were similar in the two groups. Concurrent applications of septorhinoplasty and endoscopic sinus surgery significantly increase operation time.

Randomized Controlled Trial[Postoperative pain management in clinics of otolaryngology].
To investigate pain relieving efficacy of six agents which are used in postoperative pain management after otolaryngologic operations. ⋯ In terms of NRS scores, the effectiveness of six different analgesic agents which had been used to reduce postoperative pain was confirmed. Moreover, naproxen sodium and meloxicam were found to be more effective than the other agents when taken in the postoperative period for the adult patients according to VAS values.

Computed tomography virtual laryngoscopy: comparison between radiological and otolaryngological evaluations for laryngeal carcinoma.
We evaluated the utility of computed tomography virtual laryngoscopy (CTVL) in identifying endolaryngeal lesions in laryngeal tumors. ⋯ Virtual laryngoscopy is a noninvasive and reliable technique that provides visualization of endolaryngeal surfaces and tumor extension. It may be beneficial in staging larynx carcinoma and planning the most appropriate surgical procedure.
