<i>Purpose of the Study:</i>To evaluate feasibility, tolerability and efficacy tongue base management by means transoral robotic surgery (TORS) in patients suffering from obstructive sleep apnoea-hypopnoea syndrome (OSAHS) primarily related to hypertrophy base. <i>Procedure:</i>Seventeen with OSAHS principally were managed TORS (Intuitive da Vinci®). Patients a minimum follow-up 3 months evaluated. <i>Results:</i> Ten [mean preoperative index (AHI): 38.3 ±...
The purpose of our work was to describe, through cadaveric dissection, the anatomy tongue base with a robotic perspective and demonstrate feasibility this approach in case hypertrophy Obstructive Sleep Apnea-Hypopnea Syndrome (OSAHS).Forty-four patients OSAHS underwent resection last 2 years. Twenty 10-month minimum follow-up were evaluated. anatomic details 3 bases dissected from above are illustrated.The study shows that no constant landmarks identifiable, significant neurovascular...
<b><i>Background:</i></b> The aim of this study was to create benchmarks for evaluating clinical outcomes and complications transoral robotic surgeries (TORS) in a multicenter setting. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> 243 TORS obstructive sleep apnea/hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) operations, carried out between 2008 2012, were analyzed at 7 different centers. average hospitalization 3.5 days. mean patient age 50 ± 12 years, the BMI time procedure 28.53 3.87...
In the last years, both medicine and dentistry have come across a revolution represented by introduction of more digital technologies for diagnostic therapeutic purposes. Additive manufacturing is relatively new technology consisting computer-aided design (CAD/CAM) workflow, which allows substitution many materials with data. This process requires three fundamental steps digitalization an item through scanner, editing data acquired using software, to transform into final product,...
La malattia MYH9-correlata è una rara sindrome genetica caratterizzata da piastrinopenia congenita associata al rischio di sviluppare, durante linfanzia o letà adulta, ipoacusia neurosensoriale, nefropatia e cataratta presenile ad andamento evolutivo. Furono inclusi in uno studio retrospettivo tutti i casi con sordità severa a profonda arruolati consecutivamente nel Registro Italiano dei pazienti affetti MYH9-correlata. popolazione esaminata coinvolse 147 Italiani MYH9-correlata:...
Recent technological improvements in head and neck field have changed diagnostic therapeutic strategies for salivary disorders. Diagnosis is now based on colour Doppler ultrasonography (US), magnetic resonance (MR) sialography cone beam 3D computed tomography (CT), extra- intracorporeal lithotripsy, interventional sialendscopy sialendoscopy-assisted surgery are used as minimally invasive, conservative procedures functional preservation of the affected gland. We evaluated results our...
MYH9-related disease (MYH9-RD) is a rare syndromic disorder deriving from mutations in MYH9, the gene for heavy chain of non-muscle myosin IIA. Patients present with congenital thrombocytopenia and giant platelets have variable risk developing sensorineural deafness, kidney damage, presenile cataract, liver abnormalities. Almost all MYH9-RD patients develop hearing defect, which, many individuals, progresses to severe profound deafness high impact on quality life. These are potential...
Abstract Objectives To evaluate the effectiveness of interventional sialendoscopy alone or combined with outpatient intraductal steroid irrigations in patients sialadenitis due to Sjögren's syndrome ( SS ). Design A pilot therapeutic study. Setting ENT Clinics, Universities Milan and Pavia. Study Population We included 22 whom 12 underwent followed by (group A), 10 B). Outcomes Measures The following outcome measures were considered recorded before after intervention: (i) number episodes...
Sebbene le tecniche scialoendoscopiche abbiano assunto un ruolo fondamentale nel trattamento delle patologie ostruttive dei dotti salivari, in letteratura sono riportati pochi studi multicentrici sullargomento. Questo studio basato sullesperienza di 9 centri italiani è stato condotto su 1152 pazienti (553 donne, età media 50 anni) per totale 1342 procedure scialoendoscopiche, il 44,6% quali a carico della ghiandola parotide. Il 12% sottoposto più interventi. I calcoli salivari risultati...
The aim of the present study was to assess feasibility and utility 3D printing technology in surgical planning a transcutaneous bone-conduction hearing device (Bonebridge®) (BB), focusing on identification proper location placement transducer. printed (3DP) models three human cadaveric temporal bones, previously submitted CT scan, were created with representation topographic bone thickness map sinus pathway outer surface. 3DP model used detect most suitable for BB. A transparent mask that...
Background Over 50% of patients with head-and-neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) experience locoregional recurrence, which is associated poor outcome. In the course follow-up for surviving primary surgery HNSCC, one might ask: What probability recurrence in year considering that cancer has not yet recurred to date?Materials and methods To answer this question, 979 surgically treated HNSCC (i.e. oral cavity, oropharynx, hypopharynx or larynx) between March 2004 June 2018 were enrolled a...
Endolymphatic hydrops has been documented as a possible complication of cochlear implantation; however, few studies have addressed its treatment. We describe the first case ever reported delayed endolymphatic after implant successfully treated with intratympanic gentamicin injection. A detailed discussion this focus on management and outcomes will be provided in comparison literature data. The injection demonstrated to an effective treatment for symptomatic implantation. advocate further...
To primarily evaluate MRI-induced effects for Ultra 3D cochlear implantation in human cadavers terms of artifact generation and MR image quality.Three cadaveric heads were submitted to imaging after unilateral bilateral implantation. The 1.5 T examination protocol was chosen accordance with our institutional the assessment brain pathology. maximal signal void size measured according each sequence plane. Two experienced neuro-radiologists one otoneurosurgeon independently evaluated quality...
Objective To report the personalized decision-making pro- cess adopted for a cochlear implant (CI) candidate requiring magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) brain surveillance. Study Design Clinical capsule report. Setting Tertiary academic referral center. Patient A 23-year-old man affected by posttraumatic bilat- eral profound hearing loss, already in radiological follow-up suspected small left cuneal low-grade glioma. Interventions multidisciplinary approach involving preoperative MRI...
<i>Aims:</i> To assess the feasibility of a flexible thulium laser coupled with novel robotic introducer for head and neck cancers. <i>Methods:</i> In prospective nonrandomized clinical trial, 58 patients were evaluated. When indicated, transoral surgery (TORS) was performed using an Intuitive da Vinci S System Surgical® Endo Wrist Introducer, 5Fr to hold position surgical fibers. <i>Results:</i> Six underwent TORS early supraglottic oropharyngeal squamous...
