Objective: This research aims to compare fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in differentiating between neoplasms found within the parotic gland.

Methods: Using a retrospective methodology, records were reviewed from 74 cases who had surgery for a parotid neoplastic lesion between January 2013 and November 2018. 41...

Objective: The goal of this research was to investigate how biomarkers, i.e. SII (an index calculated from blood counts of various leucocytes), NLR and MLR correlate with features used in the staging of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC), i.e. perineural infiltration, lymphatic involvement and histological grade. Methods: A retrospective review of clinical records from 146 cases (143 men ...

Objective: In our study, we aimed to investigate the success of Platelett-rich fibrin matrix (PRFM) septorhinoplasty cartilage graft applications obtained from the patient’s own blood easily and cheaply.

Objective: Vocal cord polyps are benign lesions of the larynx that are frequently seen and are treated surgically. These lesions generally develop in the free edge of the vocal cords, and form an incomplete glottal closure accompanied by irregular vibration of the vocal cords. In this study, the aim is to investigate the effect of surgery on vocal cord vibration in patients wit...

Objective: The present study aimed to evaluate the long term results of our previous study. In the previous study, we found that temporomandibular joint disorders(TMJDs) are related to habitual prone sleeping position and nasal septal deviation.

Methods: Of 200 participants 104 patients were diagnosed as TMJD. After five years we evaluated 101 of 104 pa...
