For surgeons, adverse events such as medical errors and complications can result in guilt, anxiety, reduced confidence, burnout, depression, and reduced quality of life.
Patient Age Correlates with Medical, Not Surgical, Complications Following Free Flap Reconstruction
Following free flap reconstruction, patient age correlated with development of a medical complication, and postoperative medical complications correlated with perioperative mortality.
Can Posterior Septal Nasal Floor Mucosal Flap During Skull Base Reconstruction Repair Cerebrospinal Fluid Leaks?
The posterior septal nasal floor mucosal flap appears to produce good postoperative outcomes with reduced donor site morbidity.
Oncologic Outcomes in Patients with Head and Neck Cancer Improve Incrementally with Surgical Margin Category
There is a stepwise improvement in oncologic outcomes as surgical margin categorically improves from involved to close to clear.
Integrating Preoperative Imaging, Intraoperative Findings in Maxillary Sinus Floor Infiltration Assessment in Patients with Maxillary Cancer
Preoperative imaging should be integrated with intraoperative findings based on endoscopic inspection and frozen sections in patients with maxillary cancer.
Dynamic Optical Contrast Imaging Aids Parathyroid Gland Localization in Ex Vivo Specimens
A look at how effective the dynamic optical contrast imaging (DOCI) technique is as a tool in specifically differentiating parathyroid tissue and adjacent structures.
Frailty Scores Predictive of Postoperative Morbidity, Mortality in Skull Base Surgery
Frailty as measured by the 5-factor mF1-5 is shown to be significantly associated with life-threatening postoperative morbidity, mortality, and length of stay following skull base surgeries.
Data Shows Increasing Lack of Diversity within Elite Surgical Specialties, Especially Otolaryngology
Significant disparities exist in medical school enrollment for minority students and achievement of full professorship in otolaryngology, surgery, and internal medicine.
Transorbital Endoscopic Repair a Feasible Approach for Select Patients with Frontal Sinus Cerebrospinal Fluid Leaks
Transorbital endoscopic approach (TOEA) is a safe, minimally disruptive alternative for definitive management of frontal sinus cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak in well-selected primary or revision cases.
A Promising Approach to Enhance Regeneration in Tracheal Graft
A two-step method using the platysma as an in vivo bioreactor may be a promising approach to achieve long-term survival and enhanced luminal patency of a transplanted tracheal graft.
