Background: The frontal sinus, due to its anatomical position, has gained interest as a minimally invasive pathway for neurosurgery, with number of transfrontal sinus keyhole (TFSK) approaches been described. However, the variability in size necessitates thorough study feasibility TFSK approaches. goal this was assess various anterior skull base by measuring dimensions.

To describe the outcomes of patients undergoing open stapler versus transoral rigid and flexible endoscopic therapies for symptomatic Zenker's diverticulum.Single institution retrospective review.Tertiary care academic hospital.We retrospectively evaluated 424 consecutive who underwent diverticulotomy via an stapler, CO2 laser, harmonic scalpel, or technique from January 2006 to December 2020.A total (173 females, mean age 73.1 ± 11.2 years) a single were included. A 142 (33%) laser...
Introduction: During the COVID-19 pandemic, medical schools needed to redirect students alternative educational opportunities. The University of Nevada, Reno School Medicine addressed this issue by forming a partnership with rural counties in northern Nevada create multicounty hotline clinical experience. Medical staffed and assisted underserved populations providing counseling education via telehealth. With support preceptors, completed screening forms patients, utilized audio-only physical...
Complex ventral incisional hernia repair represents a challenging clinical condition in which biologically derived graft reinforcement is often utilized, but little long-term data inform that decision. Urinary bladder matrix (UBM) has shown effectiveness diverse settings as durable material, it not been studied over long term repair. This study evaluates the clinical, radiographic, and histological outcome of complex using UBM with 12–70 months follow-up. A single-arm, retrospective...
Medical education instructional videos are more popular and easier to create than ever before. Standard quality measures for this medium do not exist, leaving educators, learners, content creators unable assess these videos.Drawing from the literature on video popularity, reusable learning objects, multimedia curriculum development principles, we developed a 26-item checklist (IVQC), capture aspects of educational design (six items), source reliability (four principle adherence (10...
Secondary rhinoplasty to address complications from initial surgical intervention is a technically challenging operation. Common aesthetic that plague patients after primary include nasal tip asymmetries, bossae, and alar retraction. These adverse outcomes are usually result of over-manipulation and/or over-excision native cartilage especially prevalent in with thick lower lateral cartilages thin skin. Techniques minimize tissue handling, maintain natural anatomic support structure, soften...
Background: Orbital decompression for thyroid eye disease is an established treatment reducing proptosis, significantly improving exposure and aesthetics. Existing literature has mostly sought to determine average proptosis improvement via various surgical techniques, but individual outcomes vary are challenging predict. Few studies have extensively investigated potential factors leading improved or poorer outcomes.
Objective The use of composite chondromucosal nasal septal flaps (ccNSF) has been demonstrated to be effective in cadaveric studies for the anterior skull base and orbit. However, their application clinical setting remains unexplored. Our study aims introduce a new method treating palatal defects using ccNSF. Additionally, we studied average NSF area compared it palate area. Methods We collected 108 CT scans from medical records patients without head neck pathologies tertiary institution....
Abstract Objective To compare reflux symptoms, Zenker's diverticulum recurrence, and clinical outcomes in patients with without a history of hiatal hernia who underwent diverticulotomy (ZD). Study Design Single institution retrospective review. Setting Tertiary care academic hospital. Methods A review ZD via an open stapler, rigid endoscopic CO 2 laser, or harmonic scalpel technique from January 2006 to December 2020 was performed. Data were abstracted for patient demographics, rates adverse...
Abstract Background Intracranial schwannomas are most commonly associated with the vestibulocochlear nerve, often leading to hearing loss, tinnitus, and vestibular dysfunction. Much less often, a schwannoma can arise from trigeminal nerve which lead facial pain, numbness, weakness. Purpose We explored case of patient an magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-confirmed that was mistaken for because myriad ipsilateral symptoms. Research Design This is retrospective chart review study, no statistics...
In this educational video report, the authors discuss and present a case of large biopsy-proven ameloblastoma centered in left maxilla with extension into masticator space, medial nasal cavity, superior ethmoid air cells skull base. This EEA allowed patient to avoid previously planned open transmaxillary approach/maxillary swing.
