Biography
Ron Eliashar is the Chief of The Division of Head-Face-Neck and Reconstructive Surgery and The Chairman of The Department of Otolaryngology / Head & Neck Surgery at Hadassah, Jerusalem, Israel. He is a Professor of Otolaryngology / Head & Neck Surgery at the Hadassah-Hebrew University School of Medicine, and past President of The Israeli Rhinologic Society. He has published over 125 manuscripts in peer reviewed journals. Collaboration with Dentists and Dental Surgeons enlarged the volume of his Rhinology clinic by 30% in the last 5 years, thus enabling vast experience in evaluation and management of dental-related sinus disease.
Research Interest
The Otolaryngologist may also be involved in treating patients after dental rehabilitation when dental implants penetrate into the maxillary sinus or are accidentally displaced into the sinus cavity. We evaluated a case series of 14 patients with unintentional displacement of dental implants into the maxillary sinus that underwent ESS. We found that migration of displaced implants and mucosal changes occurred over a short period, eventually causing secondary sinusitis. We therefore favor early surgical removal.
