摘要:

Pure tone audiometry performed on 67 alcoholics showed a sensorineural hearing loss in 70% of the ears examined. The prevalence of the hearing loss was related to the duration of heavy drinking. Twenty‐two subjects with hearing loss were evaluated using impedance audiometry, SISI test, tone decay test and fixed frequency Békésy recording. The results of these tests are suggestive of a retrocochlear lesion in chronic alcohol

摘要:

Intestinal aerobic Gram negative bacilli (IAGB) are frequently associated with wound infection after head and neck surgery. The origin of these organisms has not been previously identified. The stomach was investigated as a potential endogenous source. Saliva was examined in 15 patients 24 h before surgery. Following surgery, saliva and gastric aspirates were cultured daily for 10 days. All feeds were sterile. Though IAGB were never isolated pre‐operatively, 29 species were detected in both the mouth and stomach of 14 patients post‐operatively. Biochemically identical strains, initially present in the stomach, were detected 1‐4 days later in the mouth in 8 patients. Three patients developed fistulae associated with IAGB but frank wound infection did not occur. Evidence demonstrating the gastric origin of faecal micro‐organisms in the operative field and upper aerodigestive tract is presented and di

摘要:

A series of 17 parotid glands were obtained by radical parotidectomy. Between 1 and 11 lymph nodes were found in them. Superficial parotidectomy only leaves an average of 1 node in the deep parotid. There is a 1 in 4 chance of there being no nodes left. There were no nodes easily accessible immediately under the deep part of the parotid gland. There seems to be a discrepancy between the number of nodes found in a radical surgical specimen and serial sections of the area. This suggests a significant number may be left in the skin flap. The place of excision of this skin is discussed.

摘要:

Endoscopic laser surgery for hypopharyngeal diverticula was performed in 28 patients. Complete relief of symptoms was achieved in 22, whilst the remaining patients improved considerably. The rate of complications was low. This new application of laser surgery proved to be a safe and reliable method of treatment for dysphagia caused by a hypopharyngeal diverticulum.
