35

Κατά τα 17 χρόνια εργασίας µου σε ΩΡΛ κλινικές είχα την ευκαιρία να έρθω σε επαφή µε όλο το φάσµα της σύγχρονης ωτορινολαρυγγολογίας - χειρουργικής κεφαλής και τραχήλου, µέσα από τις µεγαλύτερες κλινικές του Ηνωµένου Βασιλείου, της Ολλανδίας και της Γαλλίας, και να αποκτήσω χειρουργική εµπειρία περισσότερων από 3000 χειρουργείων ως πρώτος χειρουργός. Πιο συγκεκριµένα Ρινολογία και Πλαστική Χειρουργική Προσώπου Η εκπαίδευση µου σε τριτοβάθµια πανεπιστηµιακά νοσοκοµεία στο Λονδίνο (Royal National Throat Nose and Ear Hospital, prof Valerie Lund) µου έδωσε µια καλή βάση στην Ρινολογία και στην πλαστική χειρουργική προσώπου, η οποία επεκτάθηκε µε τις διεθνείς υποτροφίες στο Academic Medical Centre, Amsterdam και νοσοκοµείο Lariboisiere, Paris. Έχω εκτενή εµπειρία στις βασικές τεχνικές ενδοσκοπικής χειρουργικής παραρινίων κόλπων και τις εκτεταµένες εφαρµογές τους, συµπεριλαµβανοµένων της αποσυµπίεσης κόγχου, επισκευή διαρροής ΕΝΥ , δακρυορινοαντροστοµία, έσω γναθεκτοµή καθώς και ενδοσκοπικές και εξωτερικές προσεγγίσεις για κακοήθεις όγκους παραρινίων, υπόφυση και βάσης κρανίου. Η τεχνική µου στη ρινοπλαστική αναπτύχθηκε κατά τα χρόνια της εργασίας µου στο Αµστερνταµ µε τον Nolst Trenite, και σηµαντικό ποσοστό επεµβάσεων ρινοπλαστικής που κάνω είναι επεµβάσεις αναθεώρησης από άλλες κλινικές, τόσο ανοιχτές όσο και κλειστές προσπελάσεις.. Χειρουργικής Κεφαλής και Τραχήλου Έχω ολοκληρωµένη εµπειρία στη διαχείριση καλοήθων και κακοήθων όγκων της περιοχής κεφαλής και τραχήλου και της φωνητικής οδού (St Marys Hospital – Neil Tolley, RNTNE – Paul o’Flynn, David Howard , Barts and The London – Gas Alusi, Khalid Ghufoor, Whipps Cross Hospital – Michael Papesch). Αυτή βασίζεται στην διεπιστηµονική προσέγγιση για τη φροντίδα των εν λόγω ασθενών . Χειρουργικά, ως κύριος χειρουργός έχω εκτελέσει περίπου 30 παρωτιδεκτοµές και 40 συνολικά ηµι και ολικές θυρεοιδεκτοµές ενω έχω αποκτήσει σηµαντική εµπειρία σε επιλεκτικούς και ριζικούς λεµφαδενικούς καθαρισµούς, µερικές λαρυγγεκτοµές και εκτοµές τοπικών βλαβών (θυρεογλωσσικές κύστεις, βραγχιακές κύστεις κλπ). Ως βοηθός χειρουργός έχω εµπλακεί σε πιο πολύπλοκες εκτοµές όγκων της στοµατικής κοιλότητας , του φάρυγγα και του λάρυγγα / τραχεία , περιλαµβανοµένων επανορθωτικών τεχνικών - µοσχεύµατα δέρµατος , τοπικούς και περιφερειακούς κρηµνούς καθώς και µικροχειρουργική αποκατάσταση µε ελεύθερους κρηµνους. Λαρυγγολογία Έχω εκπαιδευτεί στις αρχές και την εφαρµογή του transoral laser καθώς και σε µικροχειρουργικές φωνοχειρουργικές τεχνικές cold steel ( RNTNE – David Howard, Whipps Cross – Bhataccharya, RNTNE – John Rubin, St Marys – Neil Tolley, Barts – Klaid Ghufoor). Έχω αποκτήσει δεξιότητες στην κλινική αξιολόγηση και διαχείριση ασθενών µε οξεία απόφραξη του ανώτερου αναπνευστικού, συµπεριλαµβανοµένων παιδιών, στη βάση κοινής διαχείρισης µε αναισθησιολόγους του αεραγωγού (shared airway concept) και συστηµατικής αξιολόγησης συµπεριλαµβανοµένης µικρολαρυγγοσκόπησης και παιδιατρικής βρογχοσκόπησης . Ως βοηθός απέκτησα εµπειρία ενδοσκοπικών και ανοιχτών προσπελάσεων συµπεριλαµβανοµένων cricoid split and laryngotracheal reconstruction using coastal rib graft. Σηµαντική εµπειρία έχω αποκτήσει στην εκτίµηση και τη διαχείριση ( χειρουργικά και συντηρητικά) ασθενών µε ροχαλητό και αποφρακτική υπνική άπνοια.

36

Ωτολογία Απέκτησα σηµαντική χειρουργική εµπειρία στην πρωτοβάθµια χειρουργική τύµπανου - µαστοειδούς για χρόνια µέση ωτίτιδα., (canal wall up and canal wall down techniques), καθώς και εµπειρία σε τυµπανοπλαστική και τεχνικές οσταριοπλαστικής για µέσο ους, και εµπειρία σαν βοηθός σε κοχλιακά εµφυτεύµατα. (St Marys – Tony Narula, Whipps Cross – Abir Bhatacharya, RNTNE – Paul o Flynn) Παιδιατρική Ωτορινολαρυγγολογία Εκτίµησης παιδιατρικού ασθενούς , ειδικά κατά την εργασία µε την οµάδα παιδό – ωρλ στο St Marys Hospital. Εκεί απέκτησα εµπειρία στην εκτίµηση του παιδιατρικού ασθενούς µε απόφραξη αεραγωγών καθώς και σε ενδοσκοπικές και ανοιχτές χειρουργικές προσεγγίσεις. Ενα σηµαντικό τµήµα της εργασίας µου στο AMC περιλαµβάνει τριτοβάθµια περιστατικά παιδιών µε παραρινοκολπιτιδα σαν επιπλοκη κυστική ίνωσης ή άλλων, ατρησία χοάνης και άλλες συγγενείς ανωµαλίες. Στις παραπάνω θέσεις, πλην των γενικών ΩΡΛ κλινικών, συµµετείχα στις ακόλουθες εξειδικευµένες κλινικές υποειδικότητας (combined / multidisciplinary clinics):

1. Κλινική Θυρεοειδούς (7 µήνες)

2. Ογκολογική Χειρουργική Κεφαλής - Τραχήλου (24 µήνες)

3. Κλινική ωτολογικών εµφυτευµάτων (κοχλιακά εµφυτεύµατα, εµφυτεύµατα

µέσου ωτός, και ΒΑΗΑ) (6 µήνες)

4. Φωνιατρική κλινική (12 µήνες)

5. Ρινολογική κλινική / Κλινική πλαστικής προσώπου (12 µήνες)

6. Παιδιατρική ΩΡΛ κλινική (6 µήνες)

7. Κλινική Διαταραχών Ύπνου (12 µήνες)

Κατά τα τελευταία 7 χρόνια, ως µέλος ΔΕΠ της ΩΡΛ κλινικής του AMC του

πανεπιστηµίου του Άµστερνταµ έχω συµµετάσχει στην οργάνωση εξειδικευµένων

κλινικών ρινολογίας, χειρουργικής βάσης κρανίου/ υποφύσεως (µε

νευροχειρουργούς, ενδοκρινολόγους και χειρουργούς κόγχου), παιδιατρικής χρόνιας

νόσου ανώτερου και κατώτερου αναπνευστικού/ κυστικής ίνωσης (µε

πνευµονολόγους). H εµπειρία από την οργάνωση τµήµατος Ρινολογίας στο AMC

περιγράφεται αναλυτικά στο άρθρο « Georgalas C, Fokkens W: Setting up a rhinology

service: From the lab to the clinic” στο περιοδικό ENT NEWS (επισυνάπτεται)

ΧΕΙΡΟΥΡΓΙΚΗ ΕΜΠΕΙΡΙΑ Κατά τα τελευταία 8 χρόνια της εργασίας µου στο πανεπιστηµιακό νοσοκοµείο του Άµστερνταµ, έχοντας δηµιουργήσει ένα εθνικό και διεθνές κέντρο αναφοράς σε

37

χειρουργική βάσης κρανίου έχω αποκτήσει σηµαντική χειρουργική εµπειρία σε περίπλοκα ρινολογικά, ογκολογικά περιστατικά και όγκους βάσης κρανίου, καθώς και γενικής ωτορινολαρυγγολογίας. Η χειρουργική αυτή εµπειρία (1159 χειρουργεία) έχει αναγνωριστεί τόσο στην Ολλανδία όσο και διεθνώς, µε την µεταφορά περιστατικών καθώς και µε τις προσκλήσεις για εκπαιδευτική χειρουργεία και σεµινάρια. Κατά τη διάρκεια της εκπαίδευσης και της µετεκπαίδευσής µου στην Ωτορινολαρυγγολογία στην Μεγάλη Βρετανία είχα την ευκαιρία να πραγµατοποιήσω προσωπικά περίπου 2000 χειρουργικές επεµβάσεις και να αποκτήσω χειρουργική εµπειρία στις περισσότερες υποειδικότητες της Ωτορινολαρυγγολογίας στις οποίες συµπεριλαµβάνονται: Ογκολογική Χειρουργική Κεφαλής - Τραχήλου Φωνοχειρουργική Ρινολογία – Πλαστική Χειρουργική Προσώπου Χειρουργική για Υπνική Άπνοια Παιδιατρική ΩΡΛ Χειρουργική Βάσης Κρανίου Μετά την βασική χειρουργική εκπαίδευση (Βasic surgical training) στην Πρυτανεία του

Λονδίνου πέρασα επιτυχώς εξετάσεις του Βασιλικού Κολλεγίου (ΜRCS) και ειδικές

εξετάσεις στην Ωτορινολαρυγγολογία (DLO). Στη συνέχεια, κατόπιν ανοιχτού

διαγωνισµού, απέκτησα έµµισθες θέσεις (για 6 έτη) µε το βαθµό του Ειδικού

Επιµελητή (Specialist Registrar) στο εκπαιδευτικό πρόγραµµα (rotation) της

ΕΡΕΥΝΗΤΙΚΟ ΕΡΓΟ Α. 2014 -...: [PLATFORM FOR ROBOTIC ENDOSCOPIC CERVICAL SINUS AND SKULL BASE SURGERY] PRECISE: European Robotic Skull Base surgery Research Network Part of Horizon 2020 EU funding grant Development Advisory board and Consortium member Application for EU funding for the creation of a new European Robotic system for sinus and skull base surgery Vision: PRECISE will develop and test two embodiments of a lightweight flexible non-collocate robotic controlled-restraint robotic platforms for skull-base, endoscopic head and neck and functional endoscopic sinus surgery. These will address an unmet need for difficult surgery within a severely restricted region (skull base, nose/ paranasal sinuses and head and neck). The essential requirement for such a robotic manipulation platforms in this exacting anatomical region is the ability to change from soft robot for directional placement of end effector to firm platform for precision grasping/ manipulation imposed by the difficulty access to the anatomical site of the operations, the limited space restricting surgical manipulations, and the absolute requirement for extreme surgical precision to avoid iatrogenic injuries from collateral damage to important vital structures during the interventions, some being potentially lethal or resulting in permanent disabilities, e.g., blindness. The robotic arms of the PRECISE platform will be introduced through one of two access routes depending on the nature of the operation: (i) cervical trans-oral (c-TORS) or (ii) trans-nasal sinus and skull base robotic surgery (tn-SSBRS). The former approach is a refinement based on previous published surgical approach developed in Dundee by A Cuschieri, and involves the use of two strategically placed cervical 5mm ports inserted by a special percutaneous technique on either side into the pyriform fossa (where cervical skin is in direct contact with pharyngeal mucosa). In this operating set-up suited for both anterior and posterior skull base surgery, a semi-flexible articulating opto-electronic 5mm telescope will be developed for central insertion through the mouth via a dedicated gum shield/ oral occluder designed to simultaneously hold open the mouth whilst depressing the tongue. In addition the occluder will admit insertion of endo-tracheal tube for ventilation of the patient during the operation. In this cervical C-TORS set-up two flexible (controlled-restraint) 5mm robotic arms introduced through ports into pyriform fossae, will be used on either side of the neck providing excellent triangulation for optimum manipulations. One flexible robotic arm and a modified semi-rigid opto-electronic telescope will be used for trans-nasal and sinus surgery. The PRECISE proposal includes several inter-connected work packages, each with the potential for developing new technologies in own right. Collectively, the engineers and industrial partners will work throughout the IP with an international multidisciplinary Advisory Board group of surgeons (already established) on the functional requirements and safety aspects of the robotic C-TORS and trans-nasal robotic surgery throughout the project from design to completion and evaluation. PRECISE is envisaged as a new generation of flexible surgical robot which occupies little space and brings the surgeon and his team (assistant and scrub nurse) back to the sterile area around the operating table. It will extend significantly the technology beyond the current state of the art and is seen as the second generation of surgical robotic master slave manipulators. PRECISE will incorporate Wi-Fi fast-wide band access to Internet with open architecture cloud computing for joint (requiring different specialty surgeons) robotic operations and

resident training sessions. Sensing including tactile feedback and will be integrated with novel actuation systems, ultrasonic dissection/cutting/sealing and controlled stability. PRECISE will be also equipped with intra-operative navigation / augmented reality based on patient-specific preoperative imaging (segmented CT, MRI). In both embodiments (c-TORS, tn-SBBRS) the surgeon with operate the robotic arms via an operating console attached to the robotic cart placed within the sterile field. Β. 2015 - ...: International Collaborative Project (senior researcher for Europe ) – International Microbiome Project (PI – PJ Wormald, University of Adelaide, Australia) 5.1. Project summary Provide an overview of the research in plain language describing the purpose, intentions and anticipated outcomes of the project. Recent advances in high-throughput DNA sequencing technology have revolutionized bacterial detection techniques. Contrary to traditional isolation methods, which are prone to biases inherent in the varying abilities of bacteria to grow in culture, sequencing allows direct examination of the DNA content in a sample. Based on these DNA readings, we are thus able to infer the bacteria contained within. This molecular method is very sensitive and is able to provide a more complete picture of all the microbes living in a certain environment, what is termed the microbiome. Recently there Consequently, there has been increased interest in recent years in sinonasal microbiome research, and how changes in the microbiome could relate to sinus pathologic conditions such as chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). Recent findings point towards reduced microbial diversity in CRS patients, when compared with healthy controls. However, more research is needed to explore the clinical factors (such as nasal polyps, or asthma) associated with changes in the sinonasal microbiome, which is the aim of this study. 5.2. Research aims and significance Briefly state the aims, research objectives, key research questions and/or the hypothesis to be tested, where appropriate. The aim of this research is to at a sequencing depth. The key research objectives are: 1. to better characterize the sinonasal microbiome in health and disease using DNA sequencing technology (using the Illumina platform, which allows sequencing at ultra-high- depths, generating millions of DNA reads per sample); 2. to determine how disease-related factors (such as presence of nasal polyposis or comorbid asthma) affect the sinonasal microbiome; 5.3. Research methodology Provide details of the proposed method to achieve the aims, including project design, data collection techniques, data to be collected, participants and analysis of results. Provide a justification of the proposed sample size, including details of statistical power of the sample, where appropriate. Study participants: Participants attending the Queen Elizabeth hospital or Memorial hospital for ENT surgery (both CRS and non-CRS patients) will be consecutively enrolled into the study. Questionnaire: This questionnaire includes information about relevant medical history such as the presence of CRS and related conditions such as asthma or allergies. It also includes questions about smoking status, recently administered medications.

We have shown that the regulatory cytokine IL-10 is produced by epithelial cells and by endothelial cells that line the blood vessels. Remarkably, in allergic rhinitis patients the levels of complaints correlates strongly with the expression of this cytokine. In another project we characterized potential differences between the responses of nasal epithelium from healthy and allergic individuals to house dust mite allergen (HDM) and found clear differences in the expression pattern between epithelial cells isolated from healthy and allergic individuals at baseline and between their responses to allergen exposure. Moreover we showed that a broad range of mediators produced upon allergen exposure by epithelial cells can participate in the immune response via recruitment and activation of cells of the immune system. Two projects investigate tissue resident dendritic cells dynamics and function. We have developed staining procedures for FACS and immunohistochemistry to study different subpopulations and compare tissue resident cell function with that of blood isolated precursors in both allergic and healthy individuals Characterization and pathogenesis of chronic rhinosinusitis/nasal polyposis The main finding in this projects was that Amphotericin B nasal lavages are ineffective in the treatment of patients with CRS. In three related newly initiatied studies we investigate potential contributing factors to the pathogenesis of NP: (a) the role of underlying bone structures, (b) the role of viral transformation and (c) the role of epithelium-fibroblast interactions.

αµφοτερόπλευρα και σε 32% σε ένα τουλάχιστον ους. Τα πιο µικρά σε ηλικία παιδιά είχαν

µεγαλύτερη συχνότητα µη καταγραφής ωτοακουστικών εκποµπών. Η απουσία αυτών συνδεόταν

µε ορατές ωτοσκοπικά ανωµαλίες της τυµπανικής µεµβράνης καθώς και µε τυµπανόγραµµα

τύπου Β και (λιγότερο) C.

Σαν µοναδικό µέσο ελέγχου, οι ωτοακουστικές εκποµπές είχαν ευαισθησία 90% και 64%

ειδικότητα στην διάγνωση βαρηκοΐας πάνω από 25dB στον πληθυσµό αυτό, στοιχεία που δεν

βελτιώνονται µε την προσθήκη της τυµπανοµετρίας. Αυτά τα χαρακτηριστικά τους τις

καθιστούν δυνητικά χρήσιµες για τον µαζικό προληπτικό έλεγχο (screening) παιδιών σε σχολεία

και δηµιουργούν τις προϋποθέσεις για νέες µελέτες.

Accurate diagnostic assessment is essential in planning appropriate surgical management of these patients. A retrospective analysis was undertaken of preoperative Fine Needle Aspirations with final histology before and after appointment of a dedicated cytologist. Cytological diagnosis has been shown to be the most sensitive test for assessment of the thyroid nodule (Boyd et al 1998). We evaluate here the effect of the appointment of a dedicated cytologist to our hospital upon the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of thyroid Fine needle aspiration 2.

Illnesses of the Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) are common in children with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection. We reviewed the case files of 107 HIV seropositive children in the paediatric HIV unit at St Mary’s Hospital. The prevalence, age of onset and type of ENT disease were reviewed. We also determined sex distribution, maternal country of origin and mode of transmission of HIV. Fifty percent of the HIV children had ENT illnesses. Fifty-five percent of the children presented with their first ENT symptom before age three with 98% of the children having ENT manifestations by age 9. The commonest ENT diseases were cervical lymphadenopathy (70%), otitis media (46%), oral candidiasis (35%) and adenotonsillar disease (31%). HIV transmission was vertical in 90%. Maternal country of origin was Africa in 70% and the UK in 13%. 3. J Kanagalingam, C Georgalas, G Wood and AD Cheeesman Pitch Elevation Surgery in Male-to-Female Transsexuals Medical Journal of Malaysia 2004; Vol 59 (Suppl A): 101 (Abstract) Objectives: To evaluate the medium-term outcome of cricothyroid approximation and subluxation (CTAS) with post-operative speech therapy for pitch elevation in male-to-female transsexuals. Study design: Retrospective study of male-to-female transsexuals who underwent pitch-raising surgery between November 1996 and August 2001. Methods: 21 Male-to-female transsexuals who opted for surgical feminisation of their voices after inadequate improvements with speech therapy alone. Electrolaryngographic measurements were obtained by a single speech therapist of modal fundamental frequencies and the percentage of irregularities before, and at two weeks and six months following surgery. All 21 patients underwent cricothyroid approximation and subluxation (CTAS) and 20 underwent simultaneous cosmetic thyroid chondroplasty by a single surgeon. In 15 patients, electrolaryngographic measures were obtained after 6 sessions of speech therapy. Results: Electrolaryngographic results 2 weeks following surgery showed an average post-operative gain in modal frequency of free speech of 67.2 Hz (95% confidence interval, +/- 26.7). There was a concomitant average rise in irregularities of 9.9 % (SD, +/- 19.5%). At median follow-up of 6 months following 6 sessions of speech therapy (n=15), there was an improvement in irregularities to pre-operative levels. The overall gain at 6 months in modal frequency of free speech was 56.9 Hz (95% confidence interval, +/- 16.4). Smoking and age did not predict a worse outcome. Conclusions: Cricothyroid approximation effectively raises pitch in male-to-female transsexuals. There is a concomitant rise in voice irregularities which is effectively improved by speech therapy 4. Georgalas C, Thomas K, Owens C, Abramovich A, Lack G MRI evaluation for adenoid hypertrophy and sinusitis Otolaryngology – Head and Neck surgery, 2002; 127(2),: 201 (Abstract) Objectives: To assess the efficacy of a combined antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory regimen for adenoid hypertrophy (AH) and/or sinusitis, by using clinical symptom scores and MRI changes. Methods: Thirteen children referred to a tertiary allergy clinic with symptoms of AH had their nasopharynx and sinuses evaluated by MRI scanning. All children were treated with a 6-week course of co-amoxiclav, 5 days of oral prednisolone (2 mg/kg) and 3 months of intranasal mometasone and oral loratadine. All MRI measurements were repeated after medical treatment. The main clinical symptoms were graded before and after treatment, by using a scale from 0 to 5 (maximum overall clinical score, 20). The size of adenoids, airway, and nasopharynx were measured from T1-weighted midsagittal and axial images. A 0 to 3 grading scale was used for sinusitis signs and turbinate mucosal thickening. Results: Treatment resulted in a greater than 60% improvement in overall clinical symptom score and marked improvement in assessment on MRI findings. Pretreatment, MRI demonstrated enlarged adenoids in 10 out of 13 children and

80

sinusitis in 12 out of 13 children (5 had severe sinusitis: score 2-3). Following treatment, there was a significant reduction in adenoidal size and sinus involvement associated with a greater than 50% increase in airway diameter. Conclusion: (1) Children with AH have evidence of upper airway inflammation, sinusitis, and nasal mucosal thickening. (2) Prolonged treatment with anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial medication results in marked clinical improvement. (3) Clinical response to treatment is accompanied by improvement in MRI findings: decrease in sinus involvement, reduction in adenoid size, and increase in airway diameter. 5. Georgalas C, Kanagalingham J, Tolley N Quality of life in children with adenotonsillar disease Otolaryngology – Head and Neck surgery, 2002, 127(2) : 55 (Abstract) Objectives: The ultimate judge of the need for and the efficacy of any medical or surgical intervention is the patient, especially when indications for the intervention fall in the category of “relative.” Although (adeno)tonsillectomy is among the most common procedures performed in the United Kingdom, the actual impact of adenotonsillar (AT) disease on children’s lives has not yet been fully explored. This is the first study to look at the quality of life of children referred with adenotonsillar disease in the United Kingdom with the use of a generic, recently validated questionnaire Methods: The primary caregivers of a consecutive series of 43 patients referred for adenotonsillar disease to a pediatric specialty clinic completed the Child Health Questionnaire–PF 28 (CHQ PF 28). This is a generic questionnaire measuring 14 different aspects of a child’s well-being. The questionnaires were analyzed for data quality and completeness, items’ internal consistency, and discriminant validity and reliability estimates. External validity was assessed by comparing our sample with healthy children and children with rheumatoid arthritis. Results: The CHQ PF 28 demonstrated excellent measuring characteristics in this population. Compared with measures for healthy children, 11 of 14 measures of quality of life were significantly depressed in our sample. Most prominent were the differences in global health (P < 0.001); general health perception (P < 0.001); bodily pain and discomfort experienced (P < 0.001); and emotional impact of the child’s problems on the parents (P = 0.001), on family activities (P = 0.0003), and on parents’ time (P = 0.001). In quality-of-life terms, these children were better off than British children with systemic and polyarticular juvenile rheumatoid arthritis but worse off than children with the persistent oligoarticular form of the disease. Conclusion: The CHQ PF 28 is an accurate and reliable way of assessing the impact of adenotonsillar disease on the quality of life in children in Britain. This appears to be quite significant in most aspects of a child’s life. 6. Wood G, Kanagaligham J, Ahluwalia S, Georgalas C, Cheesman A Cricothyroid approximation and subluxation for transsexual pitch elevation Otolaryngology – Head and Neck surgery, 2002; 127(2) : 185 (Abstract) Objectives: Transsexualism is a disorder in which people believe themselves to be born into the “wrong” gender body. Male-to-female transsexuals predominate, and various medical and surgical interventions are employed to give these transsexuals a female appearance. Voice characteristics, however, often remain masculine. Speech training can improve the perception of femininity, but pitch elevation surgery necessary. The most popular method is cricothyroid approximation as described by Isshiki, but approximation per elevates modal but not mean frequency. We sought to evaluate cricothyroid approximation and subluxation (CTAS) phonosurgical means of achieving sustained pitch elevation. Methods: 10 patients who underwent CTAS had laryngographic measurements of speech frequencies preoperatively, to 4 weeks postoperatively, and 4 to 6 months postoperatively. All procedures were carried out by the same surgeon (A.D.C.), and all patients received 6 sessions of speech therapy

81

after surgery by the same therapist (G.W.). Results: Laryngography showed a rise in mean, modal, median frequencies soon after surgery. The magnitude pitch elevation was highest in free speech with increases 55% in mean frequency, 57% in modal frequency, and median frequency. There was a large rise in irregularity free speech, 105% singing, and 129% reading), which attenuated after speech therapy. Pitch elevation was maintained for the length of postoperative follow-up, with therapy contributing to a further increment. Conclusion: Cricothyroid approximation and subluxation (CTAS) satisfactorily elevates and sustains pitch in male-to-female transsexuals. There is a significant rise in vocal instability,” which can be moderated by speech therapy. 7. Purusothaman S, Georgalas C, Papesch M Co-morbidity of migraine and meniere’s disease: Is allergy the link? Otolaryngology – Head and Neck surgery, 2005; 131(2) : 153 (Abstract) Problem: The prevalence of migraine in Meniere’s disease (MD) has been reported. However, the factor(s) that link the two is yet to be established. The aim of this study was to assess the association between allergy and migraine in patients with MD. We tested the hypothesis that if migraine and Meniere’s disease are linked by allergy, allergy should be more prevalent in patients with MD and migraine than in the MD-without-migraine group. Methods: A Web-based questionnaire was used to recruit patients with MD (n _ 108). The questionnaire was posted at many Meniere’s support Web sites. The control group consisted of patients who attended the ENT clinic for non-MD problems (n _ 100). Age was matched in blocks of 5. Analysis included chi-square or Fisher t test for comparison of proportions and 2 ¨ C tailed t test as appropriate for continuous normally distributed variables. The criterion for statistical significance was taken as P _ 0.005, two-tailed. Results: Of the 108 respondents with MD, 39% (42/108) reported a history of migraine. This prevalence was significantly higher than that found in the age and sex-matched control group, of which 18% reported to suffer from migraine (18/100, P _ 0.001). Fifty-six of 108 (52%) patients with MD reported allergy. This was significantly higher than allergy in the control group (23/100, P _ 0.001). Allergy was almost ubiquitous in Meniere’s patients who suffered from migraine (prevalence 71%, compared to 39% in nonmigraine sufferers, P _ 0.0002). However, there was no link with any specific allergy types. Conclusion: History of allergy was more significant in patients who suffered from both migraine and MD than MD patients with no migraine. However, there was no susceptibility for a specific type of allergy. Significance: This study suggests the presence of an underlying immunological determinant that links migraine and Meniere’s disease. 8. Georgalas C (For the MRC-ESS study group) Capturing the multifacetted presentation in OME with only two scores Clinical Otolaryngology; Oct 2005; 30(5) , 488 (Abstract) Background. Hearing level (HL) has long been seen as a surrogate index of OME impact. Systematic studies to validate this or efficiently summarise the diversity of OME impacts were never undertaken. Objectives. To produce the smallest adequate set of descriptors, underpinning item choice for clinical use and short-form questionnaires. Methods. In the two TARGET baseline visits, parents of children aged 3.5-7 years (N=464) received 75 questionnaire items on known relevant facets. These were developed into 11 parent-reported measures of OME facets: ear and respiratory infections, global health, sleep pattern, balance, speech/language, reported hearing difficulties (RHD), 3 behaviour areas and specifically related parent quality of life. We used structural equation modelling (SEM) to summarise variation. Results. The SEM grouping physical facets (the first 4 listed) separately from developmental facets (the rest) gave excellent fit (AGFI 0.94). Summary with one dimension gave significantly

82

worse fit (AGFI 0.91), and having more than two did not improve fit. Fitting the discrepancy between HL and RHD greatly reduced the error in reported physical and developmental scores, justifying its use in bias-reduction. Physical and developmental impacts co-varied (Standardised Regression Coefficient, SRC 0.71), but their relationships to bias, HL and age differed substantially. HL influenced developmental outcomes moderately (SRC 0.23), and physical health marginally (0.12), but only when the HL range was widened by including children < 20dB HL. Conclusions. A simple 2-score summary of OME impact is both necessary and excellent. HL complements physical health and developmental impact, but is an inadequate surrogate. 9.

Skull Base 2009; 19 The assessment of OME in children should focus primarily on the persistence and width as well of depth of its impact rather than on the presence or absence of fluid per se. In the recent TARGET trial that was performed in the UK, 2300 children, ages 3.5-7 years, with OME completed questionnaires during their first outpatient visit . From these, 432 took part in the study and 376 were randomized to ventilation tubes with or without adenoidectomy versus watchful waiting. Some of the conclusions from this study are presented.

Bone remodeling and disease in chronic rhinosinusitis

Skull Base 2009, 19

There is increasing interest in the bony framework of the paranasal sinuses as an important factor in recalcitrant CRS. This hypothesis is based mainly on the radiological changes, including areas of increased bone density and irregular thickening whose prevalence may be as high as 64 HU. We think that these bony changes are signs of bone inflammation or remodeling and markers of chronicity of disease, and they could at least partly explain why improved sinus ventilation and even removal of diseased sinus

83

mucosa alone are sometimes insufficient for the treatment of CRS. We conducted this review to explore the role of paranasal bone tissue in CRS. The main aims were: to get better insight of the available data, to identify potential therapeutic implications, and to put forward suggestions for future research.

DESIGN: Web-based questionnaire survey. PARTICIPANTS: All otolaryngology specialist registrars in the United Kingdom. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The overall satisfaction with operative training was assessed as well as the number of operations performed and level of competency in stage-specific procedures, as defined by the Joint Committee for Higher Specialist Training. RESULTS: Otolaryngology specialist registrars are generally satisfied with the quality of their operative training. The most important predictive factor of satisfaction with operative training was the number of theatre sessions per week. The vast majority of registrars (92 per cent by the end of year one, 73 per cent at the end of years two to four) appear to attain all the stage-appropriate surgical competencies during the first four years. However, with respect to the last two years of registrar training, only 26 per cent can perform all the designated (complex) procedures. There are no significant differences between deaneries or geographic regions in the overall satisfaction rates, number of operative sessions, number of operations performed or operative competencies attained. CONCLUSION: It appears that the Specialist Advisory Committee (SAC) is generally successful in maintaining common operative training standards and providing a homogenous training environment. During the first four years registrars attain an appropriate level of general training while the last two years are mainly devoted to subspecialty interests.

7) Capturing the multifacetted presentation in OME with only two scores Georgalas C (For the MRC-ESS study group) Spring ORS meeting, 8th April 2005, Bristol

(Η περίληψη στα δηµοσιευµένα άρθρα) 8) Summary of impact and outcomes for the multiple facets of OME – reconciling

scientific aggregation with a clinical symptom-based approach Georgalas C, Nicholls E, Smith S, Haggard M 5th Extraordinary International Symposium on Recent Advances in Otitis Media (OM2005), 27th April 2005, Amsterdam Background. Taking hearing level (HL) as the single objective surrogate measure for overall OME impact has long informed practice and policy. We previously showed this to be unjustified for some important impacts. Objectives. To evaluate HL surrogacy more comprehensively, we optimised a structural equation model (SEM) summarising two objective domains of OME impact and 11 reported measures. Data were from trial (TARGET) baselines. This also advanced the second objective: to determine whether three non-focal impact measures were appropriate outcomes, by strength of their co-variation expressing severity of impact. Methods. The 11 parent-reported measures were documented as important (Dataset A: counts of concerns of 1103 parents). Parents of referred children aged 3.5-7 years prior to recruitment (Dataset B1, N=538) received all questionnaire items. To explore restriction of HL variance, the subset (B2, N=432) having persistent OME and HL >=20dB were distinguished. Controls (C: unselected school or nursery population 3-9 years, N=711) received a subset of questionnaires. Results. In nearly all domains having control data, mean (B2-C) differences were “worse” for OME children. For dataset B1, bodyweight, and scores for reported balance and social confidence problems all joined the SEM (P < 0.001), justifying use as outcomes, although adjusting for age displaced bodyweight . Summaries distinguishing physical from developmental domains including parent quality of life gave excellent SEM fit (AGFI > 0.92), although physical health strongly influenced developmental outcomes. Only if HL variance was unrestricted (B1), did HL influence physical health (only marginally), or developmental outcomes. Conclusions. (1) Bodyweight, balance, school worries and social development justify inclusion in a reliable aggregate or in causal modeling. (2) Any adequate summary of OME impact measures requires two connected underlying factors: physical health and developmental/quality of life. (3) HL provides an inadequate surrogate measure for physical health or developmental impact.

9) Factors Influencing the Resolution of Otitis Media With Effusion in a Cohort of

School Age Children in A Rural Area: A Prospective Study Xennelis J, Georgalas C, Kandiloros J Triological society Meeting, Southern Section, Miami,FL, January 13, 2005

Objective Otitis media with effusion (OME) is primarily a disease of young children, with its peak incidence at roughly age 1 year. Many studies have investigated its aetiology and natural course in that age group, however, studies of factors for persistence of OME are much less common. We did the study in order to assess reasons for persistence of OME in a cohort of school age children, a group with a much lower incidence of OME and in which many of the generally accepted etiological factors for OME may not apply. Methods A cohort of 250 school age children with unilateral or bilateral OME, identified through screening of 5121 asymptomatic children was examined 16 months following their original diagnosis. All children were assessed for a variety of demographic, paternal and medical factors that could be associated

86

with OME persistence. Examination included tympanometry, acoustic reflexes and a full otolaryngology examination. Results There were no significant differences between children with persistent unilateral or bilateral disease. Gender, blood group, gestational age and weight, history of breast feeding, paternal education level and smoking history, history of allergy and previous use of antibiotics or surgery during the study period (myringotomy, instertion of ventilation tubes or adeno tonsillectomy) were not associated with persistence of OME. On multivariate logistic regression, the only factors identified as being associated with OME persistence were an episode of AOM during the study period (odds ratio 2.75 (95% CI: 1.13 – 8.17), p=0.04) and younger age (odds ratio 0.53 (95% CI: 0.32 – 0.79), p = 0.002 for each 2 years of increase in age). Conclusion The vast majority of school age children diagnosed with OME through screening will be free of disease 16 months later. It appears that most factors associated with persistence of OME in younger children do not apply any more to children of school age. The threshold for intervention however should be lower in (relatively) younger children and children with superimposed episodes of acute otitis media.

10) Selection of patients for OSA surgery C Georgalas

European Federation of Otolaryngology Societies Congress Rhodes, Greece, 24th September 2004 Otolaryngologists have become increasingly involved in the diagnosis, assessment and management of Sleep disordered breathing (SDB) over the past two decades. However, unlike the robust evidence being generated on the complications of OSA and reversal of these complications by CPAP, the evidence behind OSA surgery remains scant. A recent meta analysis (1) highlighted the importance of patient selection in surgery. At the Royal National Throat Nose and Ear Hospital, Gray’s Inn Road, Sleep nasendoscopy, a dynamic method for assessing the level of upper airway obstruction in patients with SDB was developed in 1991(2).Patients attending the specialist sleep clinic, both at the RNTNE and at Whipps Cross Hospital were evaluated with a detailed physical examination including Mueller manoeuvre, polysomnography or home sleep stydies as well Sleep Nasendoscopy. Treatment modalities included CPAP, Mandibular advancement devices and nasal or oropharyngeal surgery, including modified LAUP technique (3). Detailed data from each patient were coded in a database containing more than 750 patients. In this review we will present different methods proposed for the upper airway assessment in patients with OSA, including dynamic, state dependent and static imaging, followed by the evidence base for each method. Results from the Royal National Throat Nose and Ear Hospital / Whipps Cross university hospital database will be presented, with a special focus on the use of sleep nasendoscopy

12) Variability in nomenclature of benign laryngeal pathology based on visual evaluation Chau HN, Desai K, Georgalas C, Harries M Section of Laryngology meeting, Royal Society of Medicine, 7th May 2004

87

Objectives: To assess the extent of interobserver variability in the nomenclature of benign laryngeal pathology based on evaluation of video-endoscopies with and without stroboscopy Design: Eight video clips of benign laryngeal conditions were viewed by 35 non-voice specialist ENT surgeons. The surgeons viewed the clips in groups of varying sizes with no discussion between them and were asked to make only one diagnosis for each lesion. Setting: Specialist voice clinic in the department of ENT at The Royal Sussex County Hospital in Brighton, UK. Participants: Participating ENT surgeons were all either registrars or consultants working at different centers in UK, recruited by the author. None were voice specialists. Main outcome measure: Interobserver agreement was measured using kappa statistics. Results: Variation was widespread with only two of the eight cases (25%) showing agreement of over 75%. Agreement could be analyzed statistically as moderate at best (j Ό 0.5 with a 95% confidence interval from 0.5 to 0.6). The seniority of the laryngologist was also analyzed with consultants and senior trainees (specialist registrar years 4–6) having better agreement than junior trainees (specialist registrar years 1–3) Conclusions: The generally accepted optimum treatment for different benign laryngeal pathologies varies substantially. However, our results shows a significant high-level interobserver variability in their diagnosis by non-voice specialists, thus reducing the reliability of outcome data and treatment recommendations. It is therefore important to try and lower this interobserver variability, possibly by widespread use of improved diagnostic technology, stricter/ more universally accepted definitions and supervised training of junior doctors in a voice clinic environment.

13) A survey of Action on ENT baseline standards in ENT Departments in the UK Persaud R, Hajioff D, Bentley M, Georgalas C, Narula A. Presentation at the Joint ENT UK, Action on ENT and RSM summer meeting, July 2004, Liverpool

Background:Since 2000, Action on ENT has spent over £43 million improving the infrastructure of ENT services. The steering board recommended a set of baseline clinical and administrative standards which may help plan future improvements. Aim: To determine how well ENT Departments in England and Wales complied with the baseline standards recommended in the Action on ENT Good Practice Guide.Method: An email, linked to a Web based questionnaire (http://snurl.com/actiononent), was sent to every ENT Registrar and Consultant in the BAO-HNS database. The questionnaire assessed compliance with 10 clinical and 13 administrative standards. The questions were posed in a binary yes/no format and took under two minutes to complete electronically. Missing data and discrepant responses were corrected by telephone enquires. Results: We received 133 replies from 86 departments. Only 8% of departments met all the recommended baseline standards and 35% met at least 21 out of 23of the standards. The only clinical standard with universal compliance was the availability of microsuction. Twenty two percent of hospitals did not have dedicated day surgery facilities. The recommended inclusion of a treatment plan in the clinical notes had the poorest compliance rate (36%). Of the administrative standards, triaging of referral letters was nearly universal (95%) but relatively few departments had common waiting lists for common conditions (44%). Other areas of deficiency include the absence of facilities to elicit feedback from patients and carers (35%); failure of all staff (including locum) taking part in induction programmes (35%); absence of dedicated facilities to treat children (31%); lack of a lead clinician for paediatric audiology (28%); lack of weekly monitoring of referrals (23%); lack of direct referral to specialized clinic during triaging (25%); lack of direct access to hearing aid provision in over 60-year-old patients (17%) and absence of patient information leaflets for common conditions (14%). Conclusions: Our audit shows that, while there is considerable room for improvement in administrative standards, ENT departments in the UK meet the majority of the clinical standards recommended by Action on ENT.

14) Management of Epistaxis by General Practitioners and previous otolaryngology training: What is the connection? Tassone P, Georgalas C, Appleby E, Kotecha B. Presentation at the Joint ENT UK, Action on ENT and RSM summer meeting, July 2004, Liverpool

The questionnaire used had been modified from a previous study and included questions on the number of patients with epistaxis treated, , referred for specialist management,; actual mangement and investigations performed, advice given to the patients as well as duration and location of previous ENT experience. This questionnaire was sent a random sample of 1000 GP’s in North London together with self-addressed reply envelopes. A total of 428 questionnaires were returned. 98% of GP’s see less than 5 nose bleeds per week. 73% refer about one fourth of their patients to ENT specialists. Only 15% of GP’s had previous ENT experience (mainly as a junior doctor) and for a mean period of 5.5 months. There was a significant correlation between ENT experience work and use of cautery (p=0.002) but previous experience did not have an impact on referral rates or other managemnt or investigations performed. First aid advice was not standard, with only 15% GP’s recommending the 3 basic measures of pressure, cold compress and head forward. There was no significant difference in the quality of advice between GP’s with prior ENT training or not. There was a total of 37 different permutations of advice recommended by GP’s while there were 25 different combinations of investigations. This study has shown that there is a major variation in the way GP's treat a common ENT condition such as epistaxis. It also shows that there was no significant reduction in referral rates, correct first aid advice, appropriate investigations or rates of using packs as a result of previous ENT experience. GP’s however are significantly more likely to perform cautery, one in three using cautery versus one in ten with no ENT training. It appears that limited experience as an SHO fails to provide a significant impact on the day to day management of epistaxis by GP’s. The development of GPsiENT and distance learning courses such as the PGDipENT aimed at GP’s, should provide a standard knowledge base for the management of many common ENT conditions including epistaxis. This paper also provides insight to GP trainers and tutors highlighting areas of lack of standardization or incorrect practice thereby directing their teaching programs more towards addressing these issues.

16) The use of the internet in an otolaryngology clinic population Tassone P, Georgalas C, Appleby E, Worley G, Kotecha B British Academic Conference in Otolaryngology, Birmingham, July 2003

CONTEXT: Internet has become a very important source of health information. However, the actual use of internet among patients attending otolaryngology clinics is not known. OBJECTIVES: To determine otolaryngology patient’s access to and use of the Web as a medical information resource, to identify factors that make patients more likely to use the net, and to determine how useful they think this information is. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: Cross-sectional survey of 535 otolaryngology outpatients attending the Royal National Throat Nose and Ear Hospital clinics, in London, UK, conducted in July 2002. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Patient characteristics and education level, access to the Web, use of

89

the Web as a medical information resource, search methods, and plans for future Web use. RESULTS:. The median age group was 40-65 years, 46% were men, and the median education level was having taken some A levels. Sixty four percent (344/535) reported having access to the Web. Of the 344 with access, 62 (18%) had searched the Web for medical information prior to their consultation. Higher education (p<0.001) and age between 18 and 40 years (p=0.001) correlated significantly with higher internet use. The median grading of the information gathered through the internet was “moderate quality” and of “moderate usefulness”. However over 95% planned to use the internet again. CONCLUSIONS: In this clinic setting, almost one out of five otolaryngology outpatients with internet access reported having obtained medical information from the Web before their consultation. The majority found it helpful to some degree and were planning to use it again

17) Evaluation of the Efficacy of Medical Treatment for Adenoidal Hypertrophy in

Allergic Children using Magnetic Resonance Imaging: A pilot study Georgalas C, Abramovich S, Karen T, Owens CM, Lack G. Poster presentation at the ESPO congress, Oxford, 13 September 2002 Objective: To assess the efficacy of a combined antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory regimen for AH and/or sinusitis, using clinical symptom scores and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) changesMethods : Thirteen children referred to a tertiary allergy clinic with symptoms of AH had their upper airways and sinuses evaluated by MRI scanning. Their mean age was 8.4 years (range 3 to 11). All children had symptoms of mouth breathing with or without snoring. Other associated symptoms included hyponasal speech, cough, rhinorrhea and reduced appetite. All children were treated with a 6-week course of co-amoxiclav, 5 days of oral prednisolone (2mg/kg) and 3 months of intranasal mometasone and oral loratadine. All MRI measurements were repeated after medical treatment (mean 82, range 42 to 169 days).Images were acquired on a 0.5 Tesla open magnet MRI (GE Medical systems). The size of adenoids, airway and nasopharynx was measured from T1-weighted midsagittal and axial images. A 0 to 3 grading scale was used for sinusitis signs and turbinate mucosal thickening. Non-parametric statistical analysis (Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed rank test) was performed.Results. Treatment resulted in a greater than 60% improvement in overall symptom score and marked improvement in assessment on MRI findings. Pre treatment, MRI demonstrated enlarged adenoids in 10 out of 13 children and sinusitis in 12 out of 13 children (5 had severe sinusitis: score 2 - 3). Following treatment there was a significant reduction in adenoidal size and sinus involvement associated with a greater than 50% increase in airway diameter.Conclusions 1)MRI scanning of the sinuses and upper airway is a useful way of assessing children who present with symptoms of AH 2) Children with AH have evidence of upper airway inflammation: sinusitis and nasal mucosal thickening 3) Prolonged treatment with anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial medication results in marked clinical improvement 4) Clinical response to treatment is accompanied by improvement in MRI findings: decrease in sinus involvement, reduction in adenoid size and increase in airway diameter. 5) The increase in airway diameter is the likely explanation for the significant decrease in obstructive symptoms

18) Haemorrhage Following Paediatric Tonsillectomy Using Reusable And Disposal

Instruments – A Comparative Study Dasgupta S, Georgalas C, Kanagalingham J, Joseph T. Poster presentation at the ESPO congress, Oxford, 13 September 2002

Objective : to examine whether the hemorrhage rate following tonsillectomy using disposable instruments is different from that following the use of traditional instruments

Rationale of study : the doh issued guidelines in 2001 dictating the cessation of the use of traditional instruments in tonsillectomy following the theoretical risk of variant cjd transmission

90

through prions in reusable instruments. Concern was raised since the inception of disposable instruments about a perceived increased post-operative morbidity, mainly hemorrhage. At the moment due to some adverse incidents traditional instruments have been reinstated. This audit in one of the largest ent hospitals in the country compares hemorrhage rates following surgery with these two modalities. Study design : retrospective audit. Period of study : 02.07.2000 - 31.10.2000 and 02.07.2001 - 31.10.2001 Patients and methods : children under age group 1 - 15 undergoing tonsillectomy at the royal national throat, nose and ear hospital, london with traditional, reusable instruments in 2000 and with disposable instruments in 2001. Data obtained from morbidity database, cross checked by ward admission books and case notes. Results : 5 out of 132 patients in 2000 ( the traditional instrument group) and 5 out of 131 patients ( the disposable instrument group) had post tonsillectomy hemorrhage. 3 patients in 2000 went back to theatre for re-haemostasis as compared to none in 2001. 3 out of 5 in 2000 were reactionary bleeds whereas 2 out of 5 in 2001 were reactionery bleeds. Discussion: there is no statistical difference in the bleeding rate whilst using traditional and disposable instruments in the paediatric age group . The grade of the surgeon does not have a bearing on the possibility of hemorrhage, neither has the age of the child. Conclusion : children are at an increased risk following an infection with cjd prion due to their increased life expectancy. Pending further studies comparing the post – tonsillectomy bleeding rates in children, this study does not support the existence of an increased bleeding rate associated with the use of disposable instruments. The risk/benefit ratio of the decision to resinstate the use of traditional instrument in children may need to be re-examined

Saunders N, Georgalas C S.P.A. Blaney, H. Dixon J.H. Topham . Irish Otolaryngological Society Congress, Galway, 12th-13th October 2001 It is standard practice to write to a patient’s General Practitioner following an out-patients consultation. This study set out to assess whether sending a copy of this letter to the patient improves their satisfaction with the consultation. 200 patients were randomised either to receive or not to receive a copy of their GP letter. Their satisfaction was then assessed by means of a postal questionnaire. The two groups were compared to ensure that there was no significant difference between them with regard to any other aspect of their consultation. Those who did not receive a copy letter had a mean overall satisfaction score of 7.5 whilst those who did had a mean score of 8.25 (p=0.014). Overall satisfaction was also influenced by feeling adequately listened to and examined, receiving an explanation of the problem and spending sufficient time with the doctor. Sending patients a copy of correspondence to their GP is one means of aiding communication and improving overall satisfaction

25) Assessing day case Septorhinoplasty: a prospective outcome study using patient

based indices C Georgalas, N N Patel, A Zainal, G Mochloulis, NS Tolley Joint meeting of American Academy of ORL – HNS and Greek Association of Otolaryngologists, Athens, 21st June 2001 Introduction Day surgery has changed the nature of healthcare provision. In assessing any intervention for its suitability for day surgery a measure of outcome using patient orientated measures is essential. The Glasgow Benefit Inventory (GBI) is a validated patient-centred, ORL specific tool for measuring improvement in health status following therapeutic intervention. The Day Surgery Questionnaire (DSQ) is a validated tool for assessing patients’ experiences of the process and outcome of day surgery itself. As day case septorhinoplasty was introduced in our hospital, we aimed to evaluate it prospectively using these two outcome measures. Method 29 patients undergoing elective septorhinoplasty as a day case were asked to complete GBI and DSQ at 6 weeks postoperatively. Details of surgery performed, demographic data, readmission rates and complications were also collected prospectively. The data was analysed and compared to other, well-established ambulatory ENT procedures. Results The mean age of patients was 27.8 (range: 17 - 48). The trainees, under supervision by the consultant and senior author (GM), performed 21 out of all 29 operations while the senior author himself performed the

92

remaining. No major complications were recorded. One patient had to be admitted overnight for observations because of bleeding. No further interventions were required in this patient. Two patients had minor oozing immediately postoperatively, while one had a vaso-vagal episode, which settled with conservative measures. All 28 patients were discharged 4 to 6 hours after the procedure. At follow-up (2- 12 months) one patient was found to have a residual hump and was offered revision surgery while two had persistent nasal septum deformity with minor nasal obstruction, which was acceptable to the patients. One was noted to have vestibulitis at the first follow – up appointment that responded to oral antibiotics. The response rate for the GBI and DSQ questionnaires was 70%. The mean intervention benefit score, as measured by the GBI questionnaire was 18.75, with 71% of patients expressing an improvement in their health status resulting from the operation, with the biggest improvement in general and psychosocial health status subscales. The DSQ -showed that the great majority of patients were satisfied from the day case setting (satisfaction score 81), 2 stating that they would prefer the operation in an inpatient setting while 2 were undecided. Re-admission, dissatisfaction with results and insufficient information preoperatively were all factors associated with low DSQ scores signifying poor satisfaction rates. Conclusion This preliminary study, showed that day surgery septorhinoplasty was acceptable to the patient and was associated with a very low readmission rate. We believe that in carefully selected young healthy patients it is an acceptable alternative to an inpatient procedure. A large prospective trial is in progress that will allow us to draw more valid conclusions about the suitability of this procedure in a day-case setting.

26) An analysis of otolaryngologic disease in the paediatric HIV population in a

central London hospital C Georgalas, A Singh, M Papesch, NN Patel, NS Tolley. Joint meeting of American Academy of ORL – HNS and Greek Association of Otolaryngologists, Athens, 21st June 2001

Introduction and Objectives Published case series have shown a high incidence of

otolaryngologic disease in children that are HIV positive. In the last 5 years there have been significant changes in the way in which HIV disease is managed. We aimed to determine the otolaryngologic presentations in the paediatric HIV positive population of a central London teaching hospital. In addition, we wished to examine patterns of presentation and management of these conditions, in the light of modern treatment of the HIV positive child Methods We studied the HIV seropositive children under the care of the Paediatric Infectious Disease Department at St. Mary's Hospital, London. A retrospective review of 107 case records was made looking at otolaryngologic presentation and their management. The literature was reviewed and comparisons made to previously published series. Results 54 out of the 107 HIV positive children had ear, nose and throat symptoms. The sex distribution was 24 males and 30 females. 73% of these children were from Africa, 14% from the UK, 10% from Europe, 1 from Canada, 1 from Thailand and 2 were of uncertain origin. The mode of transmission was vertical in 48 children, horizontal in 4 and unclear in 2. The commonest ENT manifestations included cervical lymphadenopathy (70%), otitis media (46%), oral candidiasis (35%), adenotonsillar disease (33%), salivary gland hypertrophy (26%), rhinosinusitis (24%) and epistaxis (7%). The mean age of children presenting with these conditions was 4.7 years. The majority of these conditions were successfully treated conservatively. Discussion This is the largest UK based study looking at the ENT presentations of HIV positive children. When compared to previous series, it would seem that the proportion of HIV positive children being referred with ENT symptoms has decreased. The nature of the conditions has not changed markedly, however the mean age of presentation of these conditions has risen. In our series there appeared a trend towards more conservative management of these conditions. It is possible that these results signify a new

93

pattern of HIV infection associated with earlier diagnosis and modern anti-retroviral treatment. Conclusion We describe our series of ENT conditions afflicting HIV seropositive children. There appears to be a change in the pattern of these disease presentations as compared with previously published series.
