The current literature, including meta-analyses and systematic reviews incorporating data from 54 separate studies, suggests that prophylactic antibiotics be used conservatively in the setting of mandibular trauma.
Genetic Testing Is Appropriate for Some Pediatric Patients with Unilateral Hearing Loss or Single-Sided Deafness
Genetic testing should be considered when the most common nongenetic causes (congenital cytomegalovirus, negative imaging for structural inner ear, or cochlear nerve abnormality) are ruled out as subtle phenotypic manifestations of syndromic hearing loss.
The Role of Pulmonary Function Testing Prior to Partial Laryngeal Surgery
Laryngeal conservation surgery includes open and endoscopic approaches that address select malignant laryngeal lesions to achieve local control while preserving function.
Using Mucosal Preservation Techniques in Endonasal Dacryocystorhinostomy Improves Long-Term Success
Although the number of randomized control trials is lacking, the current literature suggests mucosal flap preservation may improve outcomes following endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy.
Anaplastic Thyroid Cancer Treatment by Multidisciplinary Palliative, Radiation, Oncology, and Surgical Teams
Resectable stage IVA/IVB tumors should be treated with surgery followed by chemoradiation, with consideration for dabrafenib/trametinib biotherapy for BRAFV600E-mutated tumors.
What Is the Role of Laryngeal Reinnervation Surgery for Adults with Unilateral Vocal Fold Paralysis?
The primary advantage of laryngeal reinnervation is prevention of denervation atrophy, which limits the long-term voice outcomes of static procedures. Recovery or maintenance of muscle tone is expected to lead to more symmetric vibratory masses, symmetric mucosal wave propagation, and improved voice quality.
Does Platelet-Rich Plasma Have a Therapeutic Role in Hair Restoration?
Platelet-rich plasma has a therapeutic role in hair restoration, with most trials examined having a low risk of bias.
Nuclear Medical Imaging Is Recommended in the Diagnosis and Management of Head and Neck Paragangliomas
Nuclear medical imaging is strongly recommended in the diagnosis of paragangliomas that are familial, SDHB variants, malignant, or potentially multifocal, but those that have classic presentations do not routinely require peptide receptor imaging.
Certain Approaches to Superior Semicircular Canal Dehiscence Repair Are Effective for Favorable Hearing Outcomes for Patients
Middle cranial fossa and transmastoid approaches to superior semicircular canal dehiscence repair are effective approaches that result in acceptable rates of favorable hearing outcomes for patients.
What Really Works in Functional Rhinoplasty?
Functional rhinoplasty is an umbrella term used to describe the various surgical techniques that alter the external nasal structure with the goal of improving nasal breathing. Numerous techniques have been described and shown to be successful.
