Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis : A  retrospective analysis of therapeutic approaches in 463 patients
CONCLUSION: A step-by-step guideline-orientated approach is recommended in the treatment of CRSwNP. Systemic antibodies as an add-on to nasal corticosteroids are a relatively new therapeutic option for treatment-refractory CRSwNP, which reduces the indication for ASA desensitization, which is associated with a relatively high incidence of side effects and poor compliance.PMID:38700581 | DOI:10.1007/s00106-024-01479-y (Source: HNO)

Acceptance of digital apps in the follow-up of patients with head and neck tumors
CONCLUSION: The introduction of an app is supported by the majority of tumor patients. In addition to recording PROs, other applications (appointment reminders, patient files, sports/nutrition programs) could also be integrated.PMID:38700582 | DOI:10.1007/s00106-024-01463-6 (Source: HNO)

Online training for hearing implant surgery : A  new approach to otological training
CONCLUSION: The presented program of an otosurgical online training allows for basal education in practical exercises on a remote system. In this way, trainees who have no direct access to on-site instruction facilities in ear surgery now have the chance to start their otosurgical training in an educational setting adapted to modern technologies.PMID:38695897 | DOI:10.1007/s00106-024-01452-9 (Source: HNO)

Rational timepoint of medical rehabilitation in chronic tinnitus : Applying for rehabilitation options for a  chronic course
HNO. 2024 Apr 29. doi: 10.1007/s00106-024-01473-4. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTChronic tinnitus is a common symptom of the auditory system. A causal therapy does not yet exist. The recommended treatment includes expert counseling, psychotherapeutic interventions, particularly cognitive behavioral therapy, and measures to improve hearing. The treatment modules are multimodal and can be combined individually. Depending on the severity of the different disease dimensions (tinnitus and comorbidities), a rehabilitative approach may be useful for maintaining health and occupational ability. In addition to a thorough and well-f...

"To implant or not to implant": electrically evoked auditory brainstem response audiometry for decision-making in vestibular schwannoma resection with CI
HNO. 2024 Apr 22. doi: 10.1007/s00106-024-01471-6. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTVestibular schwannomas (VS) are often associated with debilitating hearing loss. Therefore, preservation and rehabilitation of hearing have become major therapeutic goals of VS management. Recently, cochlear implantation (CI) has been established as an effective treatment option for VS-associated hearing loss. Nevertheless, the integrity and proper function of the cochlear nerve must be evaluated before conducting CI to ensure optimal CI outcomes. Various methods to determine cochlear nerve integrity and functionality have emerged in the last ...

Cochlear implantation in patients with autoimmune hearing loss
CONCLUSION: Cochlear implantation can be necessary in some AIED patients and poses a sufficient method for hearing rehabilitation. Depending on the activity of the underlying disease, a rise in impedances may occur. Immunomodulatory treatment may therefore be necessary to maintain adequate hearing results with the CI.PMID:38647666 | DOI:10.1007/s00106-024-01472-5 (Source: HNO)
