Fully convoluted neural networks (FCNN) applied to video-analysis are of particular interest in the field head and neck oncology, given that endoscopic examination is a crucial step diagnosis, staging, follow-up patients affected by upper aero-digestive tract cancers. The aim this study was test FCNN-based methods for semantic segmentation squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) oral cavity (OC) oropharynx (OP).Two datasets were retrieved from institutional registry tertiary academic hospital...
Open partial horizontal laryngectomies (OPHLs) are well-established and oncologically safe procedures for intermediate⁻advanced laryngeal cancers (LC). T⁻N categories well-known prognosticators: herein we tested if "anterior" vs. "posterior" tumor location (as defined in respect to the paraglottic space divided according a plane passing through arytenoid vocal process, perpendicular ipsilateral thyroid lamina) may represent an additional prognostic factor. We analyzed retrospective cohort of...
The COVID-19 pandemic was an extraordinary challenge for the global healthcare system not only number of patients affected by pulmonary disease, but also incidence long-term sequalae. In this regard, laryngo-tracheal stenosis (LTS) represents one most common complications invasive ventilation.A case series who underwent tracheal resection and anastomosis (TRA) post-COVID-19 LTS collected from June 2020 to September 2021.Among 14 included, 50% had diabetes 64.3% were obese. During intensive...
In clinical practice the assessment of "vocal cord-arytenoid unit" (VCAU) mobility is crucial in staging, prognosis, and choice treatment laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC). The aim present study was to measure repeatability reliability VCAU radiologic analysis posterior extension.
Platelet concentrates represent a new approach to improve tissue regeneration and can be used alone or together with autogenous bone, recombinant human growth factors, and/or other biomaterials, enhance regeneration. Among platelet concentrates, concentrated factors (CGFs) exhibit an interesting clinical biotechnological application potential.The aim of this study was evaluate the in vitro release 4 (bone morphogenetic proteins [BMP] -2, BMP-7, transforming factor [TGF] -β1, insulin-like...
Endoscopic medial maxillectomies (EMMs) are used to optimize exposure of the maxillary sinus and retromaxillary areas. Although in type D EMM (Sturmann-Canfield procedure) anterior superior alveolar nerve (ASAN) is always at risk injury, only 29% patients complained process dental anesthesia. The purpose this anatomical study assess neural anastomotic network ASAN (ASAN-NAN) describe different extensions EMMs a preclinical setting.The its branches (MABs) lateral (LABs) were evaluated by...
The anatomy of structures surrounding the frontal sinus drainage pathway (FSDP) is extremely complex and challenging for endoscopic surgeons. anatomical nomenclature this area reflects complexity lack agreement regarding variants region present in literature. This work presents a new classification system air spaces FSDP, called agger-bullar (ABC), compares it with most widely used frontoethmoidal region, modified Bent Kuhn (MBKC).Fourteen human heads underwent cone beam computed tomography...
In nasal-ethmoidal malignancies, brain involvement is associated with dismal prognosis.Patients undergoing endoscopic resection transnasal craniectomy and subpial dissection (ERTC-SD) for brain-invading cancer between 2008 2016 were included. Complications analyzed in all patients, whereas oncological outcomes only patients pathological invasion. The prognostic impact of previous treatments, edema, histology was assessed. Hospitalization ratio calculated.Nineteen received ERTC-SD 11 had...
To evaluate long-term disease-specific survival (DSS) and organ preservation (OP) rates in patients affected by Tis-T2 glottic squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) treated carbon dioxide transoral laser microsurgery (CO2 TOLMS).Single-center retrospective cohort study.Tertiary academic hospital.The study included CO2 TOLMS for SCC at the Department of Otorhinolaryngology-Head Neck Surgery University Brescia, Italy, from 1988 to 2018. The male:female ratio was 11.2:1, mean age 64 years (range,...
To evaluate the efficacy of transoral laser exoscopic surgery (TOLES) in a unicentric series patients affected by benign and malignant glottic supraglottic lesions, compare outcomes with those microsurgery (TOLMS).
Objectives/Hypothesis Submandibular gland tumors (SMGTs) are rare and characterized by heterogeneity in histologic profiles. The aim of the present study was to retrieve data on submandibular (SMG) malignancies identify factors influencing survival. Study Design Retrospective study. Methods A multicenter, retrospective patients who underwent primary surgery for SMGTs at three referral centers performed. Results Among 204 with SMGTs, 50 (24.5%) SMG were analyzed detail. Definitive pT status...
Introduction: Surgery followed by adjuvant therapy represents the most adequate treatment for advanced oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Free flaps are considered best reconstructive option after major surgery. In last decades, OSCC has increased in elderly due to an augmented life span. The aim of this work is evaluate feasibility microvascular surgery patients older than 75 years, focusing on clinical and surgical prognosticators. Methods: "Older old" (aged ≥ 75) "oldest (>85) who...
Objective To assess functional outcomes in patients treated by compartmental tongue surgery (CTS) and reconstruction for advanced oral tongue/floor‐of‐mouth cancer. Study Design Retrospective case series. Methods A retrospective cohort of (n = 48) CTS free flap was prospectively evaluated concerning postoperative at different time points (6 months 1 year). Swallowing studied videonasal endoscopic evaluation (VEES) videofluoroscopy (VFS), testing various food consistencies grading the results...
