High recurrence rates have been reported after surgical treatment of aneurysmal bone cysts, ranging from 10–59%, and greater (five seven) in children younger than 10 years. No previous study has focused specifically on as a function age large pediatric study. The purpose the current was to review outcome techniques primary cysts determine if were higher children, proposed by some authors. This included 45 with more 2 years followup their first using our four-step technique. subjects studied...
PURPOSE:: This study was designed to compare histologic T and N stages in patients with rectal adenocarcinoma undergoing various neoadjuvant radiotherapy regimens proctectomy, an attempt determine if final stage of the mural tumor predicts nodal status. METHODS:: Data were collected from computerized databases at two institutions on 649 consecutive who underwent or chemoradiotherapy proctectomy for primary rectum 1990 2002. RESULTS:: Five excluded because incomplete pathology data sets,...
Coins are the most frequently ingested foreign bodies by children. While rigid esophagoscopy with concomitant intubation is used for removal, it has potential serious complications. We aimed to assess and compare safety, efficacy, efficiency of two different techniques pediatric cervical esophageal coin removal. Retrospective chart review identified patients who underwent removal from January 2017-August 2023 at one tertiary academic centers: Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital...
Patients with acromegaly present unique challenges to cranial base surgery and anesthesia teams in the perioperative period, especially regard airway management. Abnormal anatomy may result from soft tissue hypertrophy bony alterations. Additional relate management of medical comorbidities. We aim review concerns acromegalic patients for skull surgeon order reduce preventable complications.Case series chart review.Tertiary care academic institution.Thirty-two undergoing endoscopic...
Syndecans comprise a major family of cell surface heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs). bind and modulate wide variety biological molecules through their (HS) moiety. Although all syndecans contain the ligand binding HS chains, they likely perform specific functions in vivo because temporal spatial expression patterns are different. However, how syndecan is regulated has yet to be clearly defined. In this study, we examined syndecan-1 epithelial cells. Our results showed that among several...
Objectives This study was performed to determine whether teens have different rates of posttonsillectomy hemorrhage, admission for dehydration, or recurrent tonsillitis compared adults. Specifically, these parameters were within two groups: patients who underwent powered intracapsular tonsillectomy (PIT) and those monopolar electrocautery (MET). Methods In a retrospective review 579 at least 12 years age from January 2000 July 2006 in tertiary referral center, outcome measures reoperation...
Objectives To evaluate the clinical features of first branchial cleft anomalies (BCAs) and their relationship to pre‐operative imaging, pathologic data, post‐operative surveillance outcomes. Additional aims were assess validity Work classification describe recurrent cysts. Methods Records for 56 children (34 females, 22 males; age at surgery 5.6 ± 4.4 years) collected over a 12‐year period (2009–2021) reviewed. Imaging slides re‐reviewed in blinded fashion by experts those respective areas....

Statistical analysis determined significantly associated findings. A probability tree was formulated.Of patients, 30.1% had history intubation, 6.8% a...
Objective In a large academic children’s hospital ambulatory clinic, the increasing demand for Spanish interpretation exceeds Interpreting Services Department capacity, necessitating telephone interpretation. By adding dedicated interpreter in otolaryngology we aimed to decrease visit times Spanish‐speaking patients and increase satisfaction. Additional aims explored if interpreters could seen per session. Methods A quality improvement initiative investigated baseline state compared 2 tests...
