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.
At-Home Postoperative Drain Removal Is Safe and Effective for Many Head and Neck Surgery Patients
Home drain removal is a safe and efficacious option for patients following head and neck surgery, providing cost savings to them and better utilization of providers’ time.
Extracranial/Intracranial Vascular Bypass Preferred for Head and Neck Cancer Patients with Internal or Common Carotid Artery-Related Carotid Blowout Syndrome
A look at the effect of endovascular intervention or extracranial/intracranial (EC/IC) vascular bypass on the management of patients with head and neck cancer-related rupture of the extracranial carotid artery or its major branches.
OSA Treatment: Barbed Reposition and Expansion Sphincter Pharyngoplasties Produce Comparable Outcomes
BRP and ESP procedure outcomes are comparable in the improvement of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) with palatal collapse, although further trials and long-term follow-up are needed.
What Is the Best Approach to Repair of Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve Injured During Thyroid Surgery?
Injury to the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) during surgery impacts on the patient’s ability to phonate, breathe, and swallow.
Near-Infrared Fluorescence Imaging Useful in Locating Parathyroid Glands in Thyroidectomy Specimens
