Lower lip malposition can arise after anterior mandibular resection due to lost soft tissue attachments. The authors describe using cranial suspension with fascia lata slings to enhance lip position, which alleviates drooling, improves oral intake, and restores facial aesthetics.
Does the type of pre-operative nodal biopsy influence the risk of ENE in patients with p16-positive OPSCC, and is it associated with adjuvant therapy type?

With the Trump administration interrupting research at academic medical centers, court fights over the proposal of a 15% cap on the indirect rate, diversity research de-funded, and a proposal that would cut the NIH budget by 40%, traditionally robust federal support for medical research in the U.S. has eroded, and the research community shows little confidence that this will change in the short term.

We should consider our patients as more than just cases. They are people whose lives will be forever impacted by nerve loss, who will have lifelong issues with eating, speaking, and expressing themselves.

Scan the literature on transcanal endoscopic ear surgery (TEES) and you’ll find a host of benefits for the procedure when it is compared with its microscope-guided counterpart, including enhanced visualization, superior training, and reduced post-operative complications, to name just a few. Coupled with recent equipment advances, such as thinner, more flexible endoscopes and ones that combine cutting and suctioning for enhanced bleeding control, it’s clearly an exciting time for TEES.

Expansion laryngoplasty is a new, combined procedure that can treat both glottic and subglottic stenosis simultaneously. This is a small case series showing how to perform this surgery, as well as outcomes from 15 years.
The authors review their pediatric EESS technique in patients with intra-operative high flow cerebrospinal fluid leak, with a focus on details that differ from adult transsphenoidal surgery technique.
What is the potential value of a newly developed Parotidectomy Quality of Life Index (PQOL) in addressing the multidimensional nature of patient-centered outcomes from this procedure?

This study presents a pioneering report on an endoscopic-assisted total maxillectomy that allows for en bloc resection without a facial skin incision.
