Effect of microporous polysaccharide hemospheres (MPH) on bleeding after endoscopic sinus surgery: randomized controlled study.

30 Aug 2009 OBJECTIVES: Absorbable hemostatic agents are commonly used after endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS). MPH (microporous polysaccharide hemospheres) is a novel hemostatic powder that is rapidly absorbed. The goal of this study was to examine the effects of ... Read more...

[Case of unexpected intraoperative hyperkalemia]

30 Jul 2009 We experienced a case of unexpected ECG abnormality with hyperkalemia. A 65-year-old man was suffering from maxillary sinus cyst and Caldwell-Luc procedure was scheduled. He had diabetes mellitus and hypertension for 15 years, and was taking oral ... Read more...

Ectopic molar in the maxillary sinus precipitating a mucocele: a case report and literature review.
