This study presents a pioneering report on an endoscopic-assisted total maxillectomy that allows for en bloc resection without a facial skin incision.
How To: Full Endoscopic Procedures of Total Parotidectomy
The authors presented the surgical procedures of full endoscopic total parotidectomy followed by the sternocleidomastoid muscle flap transplantation via a short postauricular hairline incision and reported patient outcomes to evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of this novel approach.
American Head and Neck Society Reviews Recommendations on Surgical Management of the Neck in Patients with Oral Cancer
What are the current recommendations regarding surgical management of the neck in patients with oral cancer, specifically in regard to the indications and extent of dissection required in patients with oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma (SCC)?
Patients Younger Than 11 Years with Differentiated Thyroid Cancer Have a More Aggressive Disease and Lower Early Remission Rate Than Older Children
Pediatric patients with DTC who are younger than 11 years at diagnosis have more aggressive disease features and a lower early remission rate than older patients, although their long-term outcome is satisfactory.
How To: Endoscope-Assisted Transoral Procedure of Accessory Parotid Gland Tumor Resection
This article aimed to present the authors’ experiences with endoscopic-assisted transoral resection of APG tumor and to describe the surgical procedure involved.
How To: Tunneled Submental Island Flap for Reconstruction of Endoscopic Nasopharyngectomy Defects
Endoscopic nasopharyngectomy in the context of recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma may require reconstruction with strongly vascularized flaps. This is fundamental to address the volumetric deficit and prevent complications such as carotid blowout syndrome. The submental island flap is well suited for this purpose.
NECTORS and Dissection Compares Favorably to CCRT in Patients with HPV-Related Oropharyngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma
How effective is neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by transoral robotic surgery (NECTORS) and neck dissection compared with standard-of-care concurrent chemoradiation (CCRT) in patients with human papillomavirus (HPV)-related oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC)?
Awareness Fuels Olfactory Advances: Treating and Managing Smell Loss
More than 13 million U.S adults live with measurable smell dysfunction, according to the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders.
How To: A Case Report of Transnasal Endoscopic Drainage for Upper Parapharyngeal Abscess
This is a case report of an upper parapharyngeal abscess arising from the progression of a central skull base osteomyelitis in a patient with poorly controlled diabetes mellitus. It’s unusual for its presentation in an upper parapharyngeal location, involvement of the skull base, and poor response to medical treatment, hence requiring transnasal endoscopic surgical drainage to achieve definitive treatment.
Current Indications for Surgical Intervention with Lateral Skull Base Osteomyelitis
Over the past few decades, a transition toward culture-directed antibiotics has shifted the treatment paradigm of SBO toward primary medical management, with mortality rates now decreasing to 10-20% compared to 50% initially.
