RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Cholesteatoma surgery involves canal wall down (CWD) and canal wall up (CWU) mastoidectomy. CWU is associated with higher cholesteatoma recurrence, often linked to attic retraction pockets. Attic reconstruction with cartilage or bone pate lacks comparative evidence. AIMS/OBJECTIVES: To compare the effectiveness of cartilage and bone pate in attic reconstruction during CWU mastoidectomy for cholesteatoma. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We conducted a retrospective study at King Abdullah University Hospital (KAUH) in Jordan, analyzing surgeries performed from 2011 to 2021. Patients who underwent CWU mastoidectomy with attic reconstruction using tragal cartilage with perichondrium or bone pate were included. RESULTS: Of 48 patients analyzed, 26 had cartilage graft attic reconstruction, and 22 received bone pate. Recurrent cholesteatoma occurred in 19.23% of the cartilage group but none in the bone pate group (p = .001). Ear discharge was observed in 19.23% of the cartilage group and 18.18% of the bone pate group, while tympanic membrane perforations and external auditory canal cholesteatoma were more prevalent in the cartilage group. CONCLUSIONS AND SIGNIFICANCE: Our study indicates that bone pate results in significantly lower cholesteatoma recurrence than cartilage grafting in CWU mastoidectomy attic reconstruction. Bone pate offers stability and favorable long-term outcomes for outer attic wall repair.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: Taxane-induced nail changes are considered as an important cosmetic manifestation with an incidence that reaches up to 44% of patients treated with taxane-included therapeutic regimens. In this article, we represent a clinical observational study to evaluate the effect of cosmetic nail lacquer on taxane-induced nail changes in female patients diagnosed with breast cancer. METHODS: Prospectively, we identified those women who were diagnosed with breast cancer, scheduled to have AC-Taxol protocol. Any female with previous dermatological or systemic disorders that affect nails was excluded from the study. Patients were categorized into 2 groups based on the utilization of nail lacquer. The first group includes women who started to use the nail lacquer after development of nail changes. The second group comprises those women who did not use the nail lacquer at any occasion. RESULTS: A total of 59 female patients were included in the study; 46 (78%) of them developed nail changes and the main change was nail discoloration. The first group which has used nail lacquer (17, 28.8%) showed an improvement among 15 (78.9%) patients, whereas 2 (7.4%) of them continued to have worsening symptoms. On the contrary, most of the second group (25, 92.9%) did not show any improvement in nail changes. A statistical significance between the tested groups was observed (P = .000). There is no statistical association between the progression of nail changes and the age of patients. CONCLUSIONS: Taxane-induced nail changes are considered as an important clinical, cosmetic, and psychological complication, especially for female patients with cancer. This article suggests that nail lacquer may have an effect in the improvement of nail changes, especially nail discoloration. Further investigations are recommended to prove the efficacy of nail lacquer.
