Article Abstract
Background: Nasal surgeries, addressing anatomical variations for form and function, require careful anesthesia administration, including dexmedetomidine and remifentanil. This meta-analysis evaluates their safety and efficacy variations in nasal surgeries, emphasizing patient comfort and optimal outcomes.
Methods: Four electronic databases (PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and CINAHL Complete) were searched for records in English. Studies that measure the effect of dexmedetomidine versus remifentanil on patients underwent nasal surgery were included. The Cochrane Collaboration's tool was used to assess the quality of the included studies. A random-effect model was preferred and statistical analysis was performed by Stata software version 17.
Results: Out of an initial pool of 63 articles, five studies were selected for this analysis. All of these chosen studies were Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs). The meta-analysis involved a total of 302 participants, with 152 in the remifentanil group and 150 in the dexmedetomidine group. The analysis aimed to compare the effects of Dexmedetomidine and Remifentanil on heart rate (HR) and mean arterial pressure (MAP) during surgery. Both groups exhibited similar MAP and HR, with the exception of a slightly lower HR in the remifentanil group at the 15th minute of surgery (Standardized Mean Difference: -0.24 [-0.83, 0.34]). Furthermore, when evaluating the impact of these medications on post-surgery outcomes, including pain levels, the use of pain relief medications, patient-surgeon satisfaction, agitation scores, and recovery time, no significant differences were observed between the two medications in any of these aspects.
Conclusion: In summary, the study compared Dexmedetomidine and Remifentanil in nasal surgeries anesthesia. No significant differences were found in heart rate, blood pressure, satisfaction, pain, agitation, or recovery time. The study had limitations, and future research should establish standardized protocols and consider various surgical factors.

The treatment of bilateral cleft lip (BCL) is inherently complex, attributed to the discontinuity of the orbicularis oris muscle, significant nasal deformities, and the distinctive anatomical characteristics of the prolabium1. Several operative techniques exist, including the well-known Millard and Manchester methods. The Manchester technique preserves the vermilion of the prolabium, joining them with the lateral lip components2.

(GBS) is a rare cause of meningitis in healthy adults. We report the case of a healthy 33-year-old man with acute GBS meningitis who experienced relapsed high-grade fever and increased intracranial pressure following completing intravenous antibiotics. A short course of corticosteroids, along with additional antibiotics, improved the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) profile, and no further complications occurred after the recurrent episodes.

With the ongoing advancement of nasal endoscopic surgical techniques, rhinologists are increasingly tasked with addressing not only nasal sinus lesions but also exploring transnasal approaches for managing lesions involving the eyes and skull base. The complex anatomy of the nose, adjacent to the skull base superiorly and the medial orbital walls bilaterally, supports the use of artificial materials during surgical procedures for repair or reconstruction. Furthermore, artificial materials aid in the regeneration of nasal mucous membranes, promoting healing.
