Background Patient compliance is critical for successful allergen immunotherapy (AIT). Previous studies suggest that AIT worse outside of controlled clinical trials, with reported subcutaneous (SCIT) and sublingual (SLIT) noncompliance at 11% to 50% 3% 25%, respectively. Methods A retrospective review 384 patients a single, tertiary care otolaryngic allergy practice evaluated SCIT SLIT compliance, based on treatment stage. was defined as the number 2‐week breaks per year or in their...
Objective Posttonsillectomy hemorrhage can be life‐threatening, so we investigated whether patients are at increased risk with an inexperienced surgeon. There is scant information on how surgical experience affects outcomes in pediatric tonsillectomy. We hypothesized that supervised residents would have longer operative times but no difference complication rates compared to attending surgeons. Study Design Retrospective case series of children who underwent tonsillectomy from July 2014 April...
Importance: There are no universally adopted surgical techniques to treat depressor labii inferioris (DLI) dysfunction in patients with postfacial paralysis synkinesis. We describe a novel description of this disorder and technical considerations for reanimation. Objective: To new classification DLI option restore natural appearing full dentition smile. Design: Surgical pearls-description technique. Setting: A private practice. Participants: Patients who underwent the operation.
Background For allergy immunotherapy to be effective, patient compliance is critical. However, aqueous sublingual (SLIT) may considered demanding for patients, requiring strict daily dosing and refilling of medication at regular intervals. In this study we sought determine how patients perceive their own with SLIT identify barriers that hinder compliance. Methods Using a retrospective review, 46 currently undergoing were identified have less‐than‐excellent based on frequency clinic visits...
Objective Create and validate an objective structured assessment of technical skills (OSATS) for otolaryngology residents learning how to perform a tonsillectomy. Study Design Multicenter prospective longitudinal validation study. Methods A multi‐institutional study at six tertiary academic residency programs from July 2009 May 2012. Using the modified Delphi technique, panel pediatric otolaryngologists created tonsillectomy task‐based checklist (TBC) tonsil OSATS using 5‐point Likert‐type...
To examine functional outcomes following end-to-trunk masseteric to facial nerve transfer in patients with chronic flaccid paralysis.Retrospective chart review.Tertiary-care private practice setting.Patients complete unilateral paralysis of less than 24 months duration.Direct anastomosis.Outcome measures included time first movement, development synkinesis, and an objective assessment the resting tone dynamic movement that was achieved.Patient age at ranged from 6 61. Follow-up 12 months. No...
BACKGROUND:Extrapulmonary small cell carcinoma (SmCC) is a relatively rare clinical entity constituting only 2.5–5% of SmCCs. Recently, evidence has emerged that high-risk types human papillomavirus (HPV) might play an etiologic role in oropharyngeal SmCC, similar to squamous carcinoma. CASE REPORT:Here, we present case tonsillar SmCC presented as combined SmCC-squamous cervical lymph node, raising the possibility SmCC-component represents disease progression. CONCLUSIONS:This lends further...
Importance: The diagnosis and management of brow dysfunction in patients with postfacial paralysis synkinesis can be perplexing challenging for the treating physician. Objective: To describe a novel diagnostic treatment algorithm synkinesis. Design: Surgical pearls-description surgical technique. Setting: A private practice. Participants: Patients who underwent operation.
Objectives (1) Describe common patterns of semicircular canal (SCC) anomalies in CHARGE syndrome (CS) and (2) recognize that CS, the architecture superior SCC may be relatively preserved. Study Design This is a retrospective review temporal bone imaging studies. Setting Quaternary care center. Subjects Methods A sample 37 patients with CS. All subjects met clinical diagnostic criteria for The presence/absence middle ear, mastoid, venous anatomy, inner internal auditory was recorded....
A 6‐month‐old female presented for 2 months of noisy breathing. Flexible laryngoscopy showed limited bilateral vocal fold abduction. Computed tomography revealed a non‐enhancing 3.6 × 2.3 3.5 cystic prevertebral mass spanning C2‐T. Using an endoscopic approach, the overlying mucosa was incised, and cyst freed fully excised from surrounding with blunt microlaryngeal instruments without complication. Three postoperatively she had no respiratory issues eating well. mobility. We propose that...
