Abstract

Objectives: In this study we aimed to investigate the effectof preoperative evaluation on functional surgical outcomes incongenital aural atresia surgery which is one of the most challengingprocedures of otolaryngology. Patients and Methods: Twelve patients (8 males, 4 females; meanage 12.9±6.8 years; range 6 to 32 years) who underwent surgery forunilateral congenital aural atresia in our clinic between October2007 and April 2013 were included in this study. All patientswere performed pre- and postoperative physical examination, andaudiologic and radiologic evaluation. Patients were preoperativelyevaluated according to Altmanns classification and Jahrsdorferssurgery indication classification. All patients were operated undergeneral anesthesia using transatretic (anterior) approach. Results: According to preoperative evaluation, three patients hadAltmann type 1 minor malformation and nine patients had type 2moderate malformation. No patient had type 3 major malformation.Congenital cholesteatoma was detected in two patients. Accordingto Jahrsdorfers surgery indication classification, three patients wereexcellent, four patients were very good, four patients were good andone patient was fair candidates for functional surgery. Mean air- bone gap was 43±4.1 (range 38-50) dB at postoperative sixth week,36.3±3.4 (range 30-42) dB at postoperative third month, 30.4±2.6(range 28-35) dB at postoperative sixth month, and 30.2±2.1 (range25-35) at postoperative 12th month. One patient (9%) developedpostoperative infection, and two patients (18%) developed restenosis. Conclusion: Preoperative evaluation of patients in congenital auralatresia surgery is of vital importance in terms of surgical success.Obtaining successful surgical and functional outcomes is stronglyrelated to preoperative evaluation and postoperative follow-upalong with surgical technique and surgeons experience.

Özet

A maç: Bu çalışmada otolarengolojinin en zor işlemlerindenbiri olan doğuştan aural atrezi cerrahisinde ameliyat öncesideğerlendirmenin fonksiyonel cerrahi sonuçlar üzerine etkisiaraştırıldı. Hastalar ve Yöntemler: Bu çalışmaya Ekim 2007 - Nisan 2013tarihleri arasında kliniğimizde tek taraflı doğuştan aural atrezinedeni ile ameliyat edilen 12 hasta (8 erkek, 4 kız; ort. yaş 12.9±6.8yıl; dağılım 6-32 yıl) dahil edildi. Tüm hastalara ameliyat öncesive sonrası fizik muayene ile odyolojik ve radyolojik değerlendirmeyapıldı. Hastalar ameliyat öncesi Altmann sınıflaması veJahrsdorfer cerrahi endikasyon sınıflamasına göre değerlendirildi.Hastaların tümü transatrezik (anterior) yaklaşım kullanılarakgenel anestezi altında ameliyat edildi. Bulgular: Ameliyat öncesi değerlendirmeye göre, üç hastadaAltmann tip 1 minör malformasyon ve dokuz hastada tip 2 ortamalformasyon vardı. Hiçbir hastada tip 3 majör malformasyonyoktu. İki hastada doğuştan kolesteotom saptandı. Jahrsdorfer incerrahi endikasyon sınıflamasına göre, fonksiyonel cerrahi içinüç hasta mükemmel, dört hasta çok iyi, dört hasta iyi ve birhasta orta adaylardı. Ortalama hava-kemik aralığı ameliyatsonrası altıncı haftada 43±4.1 (dağılım 38-50) dB, üçüncü ayda36.3±3.4 (dağılım 30-42) dB, altıncı ayda 30.4±2.6 (dağılım28-35) dB ve 12. ayda 30.2±2.1 (dağılım 25-35) dB idi. Birhastada (%9) ameliyat sonrası enfeksiyon, iki hastada (%18)restenoz gelişti. Sonuç: Doğuştan aural atrezi cerrahisinde hastaların ameliyatöncesi değerlendirilmesi cerrahi başarı açısından büyük önemtaşır. Cerrahi ve fonksiyonel açıdan başarılı sonuçlar elde etmekcerrahi tekniği ve cerrahın deneyiminin yanı sıra ameliyat öncesideğerlendirme ve ameliyat sonrası takibe bağlıdır.
