ABSTRACT

Introducción: el cierre de las perforaciones timpánicas se realiza con diferentes materiales, entre ellos el cartílago y el pericondrio. En este estudio se compararon los resultados anatómicos y funcionales obtenidos con ambos materiales, y se evaluaron posibles factores asociados con los buenos resultados. Material y métodos: estudio retrospectivo en pacientes intervenidos de timpanoplastia sin mastoidectomía entre el 1 de enero de 2001 y el 31 de diciembre de 2018. Resultados: se incluyeron 544 timpanoplastias. En la mayoría se utilizó cartílago (78,5 %) y en el resto pericondrio. El cartílago se utilizó con mayor frecuencia en los menores de 18 años (p=0,001), perforaciones totales y subtotales (p=0,000) y timpanoplastias secundarias y terciarias (p=0,008). No hubo diferencias en el tiempo de seguimiento (15,68 ± 22,18 meses frente al 12,86 ± 14,9 meses, p=0,169). La tasa de éxito anatómico fue mayor en el grupo de cartílago, sin diferencias en los resultados auditivos (82 % con cartílago y 78,3 % con pericondrio). El éxito anatómico se relacionó con la técnica utilizada para la reconstrucción con cartílago, mientras que los resultados auditivos se asociaron significativamente con el estado de la mucosa del oído medio y la cadena de huesecillos en el momento de la cirugía y el éxito anatómico posquirúrgico. Conclusiones: con el cartílago se consiguieron mejores resultados anatómicos que con el pericondrio, sin diferencias a nivel funcional. Sin embargo, los resultados funcionales empeoraron si había patología a nivel del oído medio y en ausencia de restauración anatómica.


Introduction: Different materials are used to close tympanic perforations. This stu-dy aimed to compare anatomical results obtained with cartilage and perichondrium and evaluate factors associated with successful results. Material and method: Re-trospective study of patients who underwent tympanoplasty without mastoidectomy between January 1, 2001, and December 31, 2018. Demographic data, ear pathology, surgical intervention, and anatomical and functional results were collected. Results:544 tympanoplasty were included. Cartilage was the most used (78.5%). Cartilage was used more frequently in children under 18 years (p = 0.001), to reconstruct total and subtotal perforations (p = 0.000) and in secondary and tertiary tympanoplasty (p = 0.008). Follow-up time did not differ between the two groups (15.68 ± 22.18 months vs. 12.86 ± 14.9 months, p = 0.169). The anatomical success rate was higher in the cartilage group, with no significant differences in hearing outcomes (82% with cartilage and 78.3% with perichondrium). Anatomical success was related to the technique used for cartilage reconstruction (monoblock or palisade). Hearing re-sults were significantly associated with the state of middle ear mucosa at the time of surgery, the state and mobility of the ossicle chain, and post-surgical anatomical suc-cess. Conclusions: Cartilage achieved better anatomical results than perichondrium. Both materials were comparable on a functional level. However, the functional re-sults worsen if there is pathology of the middle ear (mucosa or chain of ossicles) and anatomical restoration is not achieved.

ABSTRACT

RESUMEN Introducción: La cirugía del implante coclear es un método efectivo para la rehabilitación auditiva de los pacientes con hipoacusia neurosensorial severo-profunda, en los que el rendimiento con los audífonos no es suficiente. Aunque la implantación coclear es una técnica segura, es importante conocer sus posibles complicaciones, entre ellas la infección del colgajo o la parálisis facial. Objetivo: Analizar las complicaciones de los pacientes con implante coclear intervenidos en un hospital universitario terciario: El Hospital Universitario Doctor Peset de Valencia, desde enero de 2001 a marzo de 2020. Metodología: Estudio observacional descriptivo de las complicaciones en una muestra de 134 pacientes con implantación coclear en el Hospital Universitario Doctor Peset de Valencia, en un periodo de 20 años. En el análisis estadístico se utilizó estadística descriptiva. Para demostrar diferencias significativas entre variables empleamos el programa R. Se utilizó el test χ2 para proporciones, considerando significativo un valor p < 0.05. Resultados: 134 pacientes fueron implantados. La frecuencia global de complicaciones fue del 17.9%, 4.5% fueron complicaciones mayores y 13.4% fueron complicaciones menores. La complicación más frecuente fue la desactivación o inserción incompleta de algunos electrodos. Discusión: Las proporciones de complicaciones del estudio entran dentro de los rangos encontrados en la literatura (14.9-18.3%). La frecuencia de complicaciones mayores es inferior al 5%, proporción similar a la obtenida en nuestra serie. Conclusiones: El implante coclear es una técnica quirúrgica segura para la rehabilitación de pacientes con hipoacusia severa, aunque no está exenta de riesgo, por lo que se debe conocer sus potenciales complicaciones.

ABSTRACT Introduction: Cochlear implantation is an effective method for hearing rehabilitation in patients with severe neurosensory hearing loss in which hearing aids do not provide good discrimination. Although cochlear implantation is a safe technique, adverse effects related to surgery have been described, including flap infection or facial paralysis. Objective: To analyze the complications of cochlear implanted patients in a tertiary university hospital: The Hospital Universitario Doctor Peset of Valencia, from January 2001 to March 2020. Methodology: This is a descriptive observational study of the complications in a sample of 134 patients with cochlear implant surgery in The Hospital Universitario Doctor Peset of Valencia in a period of 20 years. Descriptive statistics were used in the statistical analysis. To demonstrate significant differences between variables we used the R program. The χ2 test was used for proportions, considering significant a p value < 0.05. Results: 134 patients were implanted. The global frequency of complications was 17.9%, 4.5% were major complications and 13.4% were minor complications. The most frequent complication was inactivation or incomplete insertion of some electrodes. Discussion: Our complication rate is within the range published in the literature (14.9-18.3%). The major complication rate is 5% which is similar to our series. Conclusions: The cochlear implant is a safe surgical technique for the rehabilitation of patients with severe neurosensory hearing loss, although it is not riskless, therefore, one must know that complication are possible.

ABSTRACT

El sarcoma sinovial representa el cuarto tipo de sarcoma más frecuente, situándose principalmente en las articulaciones de la rodilla y el tobillo, siendo excepcional la afectación de cabeza y cuello. Se da sobre todo en varones entre los 20 y 40 años. El diagnóstico suele ser inesperado por la rareza de la entidad y por las características inespecíficas clínico-radiológicas, basándose, por tanto, en técnicas inmunohistoquímicas y de microscopia electrónica. Presentamos un caso de sarcoma sinovial bifásico, localizado en la fosa infratemporal, tratado en nuestro servicio, y revisamos la literatura (AU)


Synovial sarcoma is the fourth most common type of sarcoma. It is usually found in the knee or ankle joints, and is exceptional in the head and neck. Most cases are diagnosed in men between 20 and 40 years of age. Diagnosis is often casual due to the infrequent nature of this tumour and its non-specific clinical and radiological characteristics. Confirmation is therefore based on immunohistochemistry and electron microscopy techniques. We report a case of biphasic sinovial sarcoma located in the infratemporal fossa treated at our hospital and we make a review of the literature (AU)

ABSTRACT

Introducción y objetivo: Las complicaciones dermatológicas son las complicaciones postoperatorias más frecuentes relacionadas con las prótesis BAHA (bone anchored hearing aid). En este estudio comparamos y evaluamos estas complicaciones con dos técnicas quirúrgicas diferentes: el dermatomo BAHA y el colgajo en «U». Material y método: Se estudió a 53 pacientes intervenidos en nuestro centro entre 2001 y 2008. La comparación de las complicaciones se realizó según la clasificación de Holgers et al. Hemos registrado, además, el número de curas que se requieren hasta la estabilización de la piel. Resultados: Hemos utilizado el dermatomo en 27 pacientes y el colgajo en «U» en 26 pacientes. En el grupo dermatomo hemos tenido el 74% de complicaciones (20 pacientes), que contrastan con el 34% (9 pacientes) con el colgajo en «U». La media de curas por paciente con el dermatomo y con el colgajo en «U» es de 4,1 y 2,7, respectivamente. Las diferencias encontradas son estadísticamente significativas para un intervalo de confianza del 95%. Conclusiones: En nuestra experiencia, el uso del dermatomo eléctrico en la cirugía del BAHA es un método que nos ofrece un mayor número de complicaciones dermatológicas que el colgajo en «U». Dado que ambas técnicas tienen una serie de ventajas y desventajas, quizás la selección de la técnica por utilizar según las características de cada paciente de forma individualizada permita obtener mejores resultados en el futuro (AU)


Introduction and objective: The most common postoperative complications related to BAHA prosthetic surgery are skin complications. In this study we compare and evaluate these reactions with two different surgical techniques, the BAHA dermatome and the U-graft technique. Material and method: Fifty-three patients who underwent implantation of a BAHA at our hospital between 2001 and 2008 were studied. The comparison of the skin reactions was carried out according to Holgers' classification. We also recorded the number of cures required until the skin was stabilized. Results: We used the dermatome in 27 patients and the U-graft in 26 patients. In the dermatome group we have reported a total of 74% of skin reactions (20 patients), in contrast with the 34% (9 patients) observed in the U-graft group. The average number of cures for patients in the dermatome group and those in the U-graft group was 4.1 and 2.7, respectively. The differences found were statistically significant and had a 95% confidence interval. Conclusions: In our experience, the use of the electric dermatome in BAHA surgery offers a higher incidence of skin complications in comparison with the U-graft technique. Since both techniques have a number of advantages and disadvantages, it may be that the selection of the technique to be employed according the individual characteristics of each patient may offer better results in the future (AU)

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Many surgeons use intraoperative frozen section biopsy of the thyroid nodules to confirm malignant disease, but it continues to generate considerable controversy. We reviewed our recent experience to determinate de clinical utility of frozen section in our surgical management and intraoperative decision-making. PATIENTS AND METHOD: All patients who had operations for the thyroid nodular disease between 2000 and 2006 were included in this retrospective study. We compared the results of frozen section diagnosis and definitive histologic results in a population of 212 patients. RESULTS: Frozen section was false negative in 3 patients (1.66 %) and false positive in 1 (0.47 %) and avoided 12 reoperations (5.6 %). When there was not suspicious malignant disease had a sensitivity of 0.75 %. In the group of follicular disease the sensitivity was 3.7 %, and in the group with suspicious malignant disease was 37.5 %. CONCLUSIONS: Frozen section was more helpful in the group of suspicious for malignant disease. It does not seem to be necessary when fine-needle biopsy indicates bening or follicular disease.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: Muchos cirujanos utilizan la biopsia intraoperatoria de los nódulos tiroideos para confirmar malignidad, pero continúa generando bastante controversia. Hemos revisado nuestra experiencia reciente para determinar la utilidad clínica de la biopsia extemporánea en la toma de decisiones intraoperatorias. Pacientes y método: Se incluyó en este estudio retrospectivo a todos los pacientes sometidos a una cirugía tiroidea por nódulo tiroideo entre 2000 y 2006. Comparamos los resultados de la biopsia introperatoria con los de la anatomía patológica definitiva en una población de 212 pacientes. Resultados: La biopsia extemporánea tuvo un resultado falso negativo en 3 (1,67 %) pacientes y falso positivo en 1 (0,47 %). Evitó 12 (5,6 %) reintervenciones. Cuando no hubo sospecha previa de malignidad, su sensibilidad fue del 0,75 %. En el grupo de lesiones foliculares su sensibilidad fue del 3,7 % y en el sospechoso de malignidad del 37,5 %. Conclusiones: La biopsia extemporánea fue más útil en el grupo con sospecha de malignidad. No parece ser necesaria cuando la punción-aspiración con aguja fina indica que es benigna o de tipo folicular

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Laryngeal carcinoma is a common neoplasia in our country. It is well-known that the supraglottis is more frequently involved in Mediterranean countries. We present our results on the incidence of neoplasias affecting supraglottis and glottis and we find a change in the normal trend. OBJECTIVE: To study the incidence of glottic and supraglottic tumours in our hospital over the last 31 years. We also analyze risk factors such as smoking and alcohol in the population of the Valencian Region. PATIENTS AND METHOD: We performed a retrospective review of 991 patients diagnosed as having carcinomas of the glottis and supraglottis between 1974 and 2005. The epidemiological data about the consumption of tobacco and alcohol in the population of the Valencian Region, Spain, are obtained from descriptive epidemiological studies (Health Statistics and the 2003 National Health Survey). CONCLUSIONS: With a total of 548 carcinomas of the glottis and 443 of the supraglottis, we find a change in the incidence maintained since 1990, with statistically significant differences (P=.0056). Thus, we can state that the glottis is more frequently affected than the supraglottis. Changes in the consumption of tobacco and alcohol cannot explain this current change.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: Los carcinomas de laringe son una neoplasia frecuente en nuestro país. Por todos es conocido que en los países mediterráneos predomina la localización supraglótica sobre la glótica. Hemos estudiado la incidencia en nuestro medio de ambas localizaciones y hemos comprobado una inversión. Objetivo: Estudiar la incidencia de los tumores glóticos y supraglóticos en el Hospital Universitario Dr. Peset en los últimos 31 años. También se analizan los hábitos tóxicos de la población de la Comunidad Valenciana relacionados con la aparición de este tipo de neoplasias. Pacientes y método: Realizamos un estudio retrospectivo de 991 pacientes diagnosticados de carcinomas glóticos y supraglóticos desde 1984 a 2005. Los datos epidemiológicos respecto al consumo de tabaco y alcohol en la población de la Comunidad Valenciana se obtienen a través de estudios epidemiológicos descriptivos de ámbito nacional (Estadísticas de Salud y Encuesta Nacional de Salud 2003). Conclusiones: Con un total de 548 carcinomas de localización glótica y 443 de localización supraglótica, hemos observado una inversión en la incidencia desde el año 1990 que se mantiene hasta la actualidad, con diferencias estadísticamente significativas (p = 0,0056). Por lo tanto, se puede afirmar que actualmente la incidencia de tumores glóticos es mayor que la de los supraglóticos en nuestro medio. Los cambios en el estilo de vida de nuestra población actualmente no permiten explicar este cambio
