Can a modified tissue-preserving uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP) convert retropalatal concentric collapse to anteroposterior or lateral patterns of collapse on drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) in patients who are not candidates for upper airway stimulation (UAS) due to complete circumferential collapse at the velum? BOTTOM LINE A modified UPPP can successfully convert collapse patterns in patients with complete […]
Early Diagnosis, Treatment Essential in Acute Invasive Fungal Sinusitis in Patients with Recent COVID-19 Infection
Clinical suspicion of acute invasive fungal rhinosinusitis (AIFR) among COVID-19 patients and early management with antifungal therapy and surgical debridement is essential for better outcomes and higher survival.
Data on Upper Airway Stimulation Therapy Show High Success Rates for Obstructive Sleep Apnea Patients

Extensive Dataset for Esophageal Dilation Shows Very Low Rates of Complications, Mortality
Evidence from a national insurance claim database suggests that esophageal dilation is a safe procedure with a very low rate of serious complications and mortality.
Do Hearing Aids Help Prevent Cognitive Decline?
Though the evidence is encouraging, clear causal linkage between hearing loss and cognition has not been established.
Frailty Scores Predictive of Postoperative Morbidity, Mortality in Skull Base Surgery
Frailty as measured by the 5-factor mF1-5 is shown to be significantly associated with life-threatening postoperative morbidity, mortality, and length of stay following skull base surgeries.
Hearing Impairment in Pediatric Population Associated with Higher Prevalence of Loneliness
Most existing studies have found that hearing impairment results in a higher prevalence of social isolation and loneliness in the pediatric population.
Drug-Induced Sleep Endoscopy May Have Broader Role in Evaluating OSA Patients for Hypoglossal Nerve Stimulation
The role for drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) in counseling candidates for HNS extends beyond excluding complete concentric collapse related to the velum.
Extracranial/Intracranial Vascular Bypass Preferred for Head and Neck Cancer Patients with Internal or Common Carotid Artery-Related Carotid Blowout Syndrome
A look at the effect of endovascular intervention or extracranial/intracranial (EC/IC) vascular bypass on the management of patients with head and neck cancer-related rupture of the extracranial carotid artery or its major branches.
How To: Tension-Free Anterior Rerouting of the Facial Nerve in Management of Jugular Foramen Paragangliomas
In the study, we modified Dr. Brackmann’s total anterior FN rerouting technique to achieve tension-free FN anterior transposition and explored the surgical outcomes postoperatively.
