The use of VR in surgical planning could enhance clinical outcomes for HNC resections. The authors’ goal was to assess the feasibility of a vr protocol for oncologic surgical planning and to analyze its impact on surgical outcomes.
Allograft Nerve Repair of a Transected Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve with Voice and Singing Recovery
This Case Involves A Transected Left Rln That Was Repaired Using Allograft Nerve Interposition, Resulting In An Excellent Return Of Both Speaking And Singing Voice, As Well As Restored Vocal Cord Function.
Correction of Lower Lip Malposition with Fascia Lata Slings Following Anterior Mandibular Resection
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.
Pre-Operative Nodal Biopsy and Extranodal Extension in p16+ Oropharyngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma
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?
Questions on NIH Funding Leave ENT Researchers Pondering Next Steps and Leaving Everything Up in the Air
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.
Changing Perspectives: Why ENT Surgeons Should Consider Nerve Reconstruction
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.
Endoscopic Ear Surgery: Advancements and Adoption Challenges
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.
How To: Open Expansion Laryngoplasty for Combined Glottic and Subglottic Stenosis
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.
How to: Pediatric Endoscopic Transsphenoidal Skull Base Approach and Closure: Technique and Technical Tips
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.
New Parotidectomy Quality of Life Index Poised to Help Improve Clinical Practice
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?
