Abstract

Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a typical chronic condition commonly affecting the upper airway. Allergic rhinitis is marked by nasal congestion, rhinorrhea, pruritus, sneezing, and postnasal drip syndrome (PND), which includes eye itching and erythema. This study aims to assess the validity and reliability of the Indonesian version of the knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) of the allergic rhinitis questionnaire. The study employed a cross-sectional design. The study included patients with allergic rhinitis who were 18 or older and visited the otorhinolaryngology clinic between January and February 2024. The questionnaire was generated and disseminated using a Google form, and the statistical analysis was performed with SPSS 22.0. The correlation coefficient (r) between all questions on the knowledge dimension was consistently high, ranging from 0.302 to 0.828. The items on the attitude dimension had a strong positive association with the total score, as seen by the high correlation coefficients (all r = 0.962). The practice dimension also exhibited high correlation coefficients, ranging from 0.273 to 0.810 in total score. The questionnaire's validity and reliability have been established, confirming that the Indonesian version is recommended for future studies.

Abstract

Circumcision is a common surgical operation that entails excising the foreskin from the penis, primarily to improve hygiene and prevent the accumulation of smegma. This practice is widely observed worldwide, especially within Muslim and Jewish populations. However, despite its advantages, circumcision may lead to several complications, such as excessive bleeding and infections. A healthy 13-year-old male presented for circumcision due to grade 2 phimosis, seeking to improve his personal hygiene. The procedure was executed using a combination of diode laser technology and cyanoacrylate skin glue, which minimized tissue trauma and provided effective wound closure. When circumcision is performed utilizing advanced methods such as diode laser and cyanoacrylate glue, it is regarded as a safe and effective intervention. This approach offers considerable benefits in terms of recovery duration, cosmetic results, and overall patient comfort, while also maintaining low rates of complications.

Abstract

Tonsillectomy is one of the most often conducted surgical procedures in children. It has several surgical techniques, such as tonsillectomy with thermal welding, guillotine excision, electrocautery, cryosurgery, coblation, ultrasonic removal, laser removal, monopolar and bipolar surgery, and tonsillectomy with ligatures. This case report aims to present a detailed description of a 9-year-old boy who is suffering from tonsillitis. The patient came to the Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) clinic with a chronic history of reoccurring throat pain over the past two years, which has lately intensified over the past six months. Complaints are experienced nearly monthly, occasionally accompanied by pain while swallowing, coughing, and a runny nose. The patient experiences a laser-assisted surgical procedure to remove the tonsils. We performed a surgical procedure to excise the tonsil mass using a gallium aluminum arsenide (GaAlAs) diode laser with a wavelength of 980nm/1470nm and a power of 4 watts. This procedure was successfully performed. After laser tonsillectomy treatment on days 1-3, the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) score was 1, indicating no bleeding. On the fourth day, the patient had no pain or bleeding.
