Fresh frozen homologous costal cartilage in rhinoplasty represents an alternative approach that has been described mostly through single-surgeon case series in the existing literature.
What Is the Optimal Anticoagulation in HGNS Surgery in Patients with High-Risk Cardiac Comorbidities?
Hypoglossal nerve stimulation (HGNS) therapy has become a more frequently employed tool in the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea since its approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 2014. One of the benefits of HGNS therapy is the low morbidity associated with the procedure.
Management of Pediatric Tracheocutaneous Fistulae
Tracheocutaneous fistulae (TCF) involve a remnant skin tract that connects the external cervical skin with the anterior trachea following decannulation of a tracheostomy tube (TT). Due to the young age at insertion, length of TT dependence, and propensity for removal with aging, persistent pediatric TCF (PPTCF) are more frequent than in adults. Methods of management are varied, and ideal approaches to management are debated.
Is Post-Operative Nasal Stenting Necessary After Primary Cleft Lip and Nose Repair
Evidence suggests that post-operative nasal stents are beneficial if used for three to six months by a hypothesized mechanism of hindering the contraction and regression of the surgically repositioned lower lateral cartilages.
Is Topical Tranexamic Acid Effective in Treating Epistaxis?
Epistaxis is a common emergency department (ED) presentation. Many cases are self-limited, but other cases may require an intervention to stop bleeding. Methods to manage epistaxis include nasal compression, topical vasoconstrictors, cautery, nasal packing, and even surgical ligation in severe cases.
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.
What Are the Predictors of Success with Hypoglossal Nerve Stimulation?
HNS was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 2014 as a treatment option for patients with moderate to severe OSA who cannot tolerate CPAP.
Can Calcitonin Levels Guide Prophylactic Neck Dissection in Sporadic Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma?
Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) comprises less than 5% of thyroid cancers but is responsible for more than 10% of deaths related to thyroid cancer.
Can Anticoagulation Be Safely Continued in Most Otolaryngologic/Head and Neck Surgery?
Antithrombotic management is a key component of surgical optimization, as it necessitates balancing the risk of a peri-operative thrombotic event with the risk of bleeding.
What Is the Optimal Method for Margin Assessment in Oral Cavity Carcinoma?
Although en bloc resection remains the standard of care for primary treatment of oral cavity squamous cell carcinomas (OCSCC), methods of intra-operative assessment of margins vary.
