Abstract
The aim of present study was to observe the effect of topical application of manuka honey in healing in the healing of postoperative mastoid cavity. A total of 100 patients diagnosed with chronic suppurative otitis media with cholesteatoma underwent canal wall down mastoidectomy, Manuka honey-soaked roller gauze pack was placed on Day 10 and was removed on day 17 and manuka honey was applied on day 17. Cavity was assessed on day 47 and day 90 on follow-up. Otoendoscopy was done on every visit to assess mastoid cavity. The primary outcome measure was the creation of a dry cavity as measured by a semi-quantitative scale as described by Merchant et al. Then Mastoid Cavity Healing Score was calculated on every visit and scoring was done at the end. On intragroup comparison it appeared that both the treatment methods exhibited improvised merchant grade score with the course of time (p-value = < 0.001). At 47th day and 90th day, the healing score in Group A was significantly higher than in Group B [p-value = < 0.001 and 0.001] respectively. We recommend Manuka honey as an adjunct to achieve a safe, dry ear in view of faster epithelization after mastoidectomy.
本研究旨在观察局部涂抹麦卢卡蜂蜜对术后乳突腔愈合的影响。共有 100 名被诊断为慢性化脓性中耳炎伴胆脂瘤的患者接受了乳突管壁向下切除术,第 10 天放置浸有麦卢卡蜂蜜的滚筒纱布包,第 17 天取出,第 17 天涂抹麦卢卡蜂蜜。第 47 天和第 90 天的随访对龋洞进行了评估。每次就诊都要进行耳内镜检查,以评估乳突腔。根据 Merchant 等人的半定量量表,乳突腔愈合评分是衡量疗效的主要指标。组内比较显示,随着时间的推移,两种治疗方法的商等级得分都有所提高(p 值 = p 值 = p 值 = p 值 = p 值 = p 值 = p 值 = p 值 = p 值 = p 值 = p 值 = p 值 = p 值 = p 值 =
期刊介绍:
Indian Journal of Otolaryngology and Head & Neck Surgery was founded as Indian Journal of Otolaryngology in 1949 as a scientific Journal published by the Association of Otolaryngologists of India and was later rechristened as IJOHNS to incorporate the changes and progress.
IJOHNS, undoubtedly one of the oldest Journals in India, is the official publication of the Association of Otolaryngologists of India and is about to publish it is 67th Volume in 2015. The Journal published quarterly accepts articles in general Oto-Rhino-Laryngology and various subspecialities such as Otology, Rhinology, Laryngology and Phonosurgery, Neurotology, Head and Neck Surgery etc.
The Journal acts as a window to showcase and project the clinical and research work done by Otolaryngologists community in India and around the world. It is a continued source of useful clinical information with peer review by eminent Otolaryngologists of repute in their respective fields. The Journal accepts articles pertaining to clinical reports, Clinical studies, Research articles in basic and applied Otolaryngology, short Communications, Clinical records reporting unusual presentations or lesions and new surgical techniques. The journal acts as a catalyst and mirrors the Indian Otolaryngologist’s active interests and pursuits. The Journal also invites articles from senior and experienced authors on interesting topics in Otolaryngology and allied sciences from all over the world.
The print version is distributed free to about 4000 members of Association of Otolaryngologists of India and the e-Journal shortly going to make its appearance on the Springer Board can be accessed by all the members.
Association of Otolaryngologists of India and M/s Springer India group have come together to co-publish IJOHNS from January 2007 and this bondage is going to provide an impetus to the Journal in terms of international presence and global exposure.
