A newly proposed classification by the European Laryngological Society (ELS) of glottic lesions narrow-band imaging (NBI) divides their vascular patterns into longitudinal and perpendicular ones. The latter are further subdivided wide narrow patterns. longitudinal, wide, characteristic benign disease, papilloma, malignancy, respectively. aim study was to investigate diagnostic effectiveness classification. Forty patients with underwent microlaryngoscopy. all vocal cords were defined NBI....
The pharyngocutaneous fistula (PCF) is the most common complication following a total laryngectomy (TL) with wide range of incidence and various potential risk factors. aim was to analyse factors for PCF formation in large study set collected over longer period time. In retrospective at Department Otorhinolaryngology Cervicofacial Surgery Ljubljana, 422 patients who were treated head neck cancer by TL between 2007 2020 included. comprehensive clinicopathologic data including related patient,...
The diagnostic gain of narrow band imaging in the definition surgical margins treatment head and neck cancer was evaluated.A prospective study, blinded to pathologist, with historical comparison.The study group included 45 patients subjected intraoperative by imaging. control 55 who had undergone standard margins. All underwent resection tumor frozen section analysis superficial rate initial R0 ratio histologically negative for both groups were statistically compared.The 88.9% 70.9% (P =...
Neuroendocrine carcinomas (NECs) of the head and neck are rare experience scanty. The Cancer Registry Slovenia database was used to identify cases laryngeal pharyngeal NECs diagnosed between 1995-2020. Biopsies were analyzed for expression standard neuroendocrine markers (synaptophysin, chromogranin, CD56), INSM1, Ki-67, p16, PD-L1 (using combined positive score, CPS). In situ hybridization human papillomavirus (HPV) Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) performed. Twenty patients (larynx, 12; pharynx,...
Traheotomija in postopki, povezani z njo pri bolniku s covidom-19, se ocenjujejo kot visoko tvegani za prenos virusa SARS-CoV-2 na ekipo, ki poseg opravlja, osebje, po operaciji skrbi bolnika. Namen članka je prikazati prilagoditev postopkov elektivne odprte kirurške traheotomije dolgotrajno intubiranih bolnikih zaradi okužbe virusom SARS-CoV-2. Pripravljen bil osnovni protokol elektivno odprto kirurško traheotomijo začne multidisciplinarni postavitvi indikacije vsakega bolnika posebej. Za...
The aim of the study was to provide insight into influence COVID-19 on frequency and characteristics urgent emergent tracheostomies (TS), comparing data collected both before during pandemic. Our two hypotheses were that
Background/Objectives: To test the hypothesis that clinical tumor response after a single cycle of induction chemotherapy (ICT) can reliably differentiate between chemo-/radiosensitive and resistant tumors in larynx preservation setting. Methods: Treatment consisted docetaxel/cisplatin/5-fluorouracil (TPF) ICT followed by concurrent chemoradiotherapy (cCRT) with weekly cisplatin. The primary was assessed transnasal endoscopy first cycle. Results: 37/39 (95%) patients laryngeal (46%) or...
(1) Background: Head and neck paragangliomas are neuroendocrine tumors that typically originate from the parasympathetic nervous system predominantly non-secretory. Their clinical manifestations result their mass effect on surrounding tissues. The approach to treating these depends factors such as location, size, impact adjacent structures, patient's overall health preferences. (2) Methods: A retrospective analysis of management temporal bone paraganglioma classes B (according modified Fisch...
This study aimed to analyse the variability in incidence of pharyngocutaneous fistula (PCF), most common complication following a total laryngectomy (TLE), and identify underlying causes for fluctuations rates.
The temporary tracheostoma's metastases of head and neck cancer had already been reported in the literature. So far, they considered as regional dissemination malignant disease. We report a case metastasis carcinoma from non-head-and-neck primary site, what has not literature, yet. Therefore, it is first systemic tumour into tracheostoma.Fifty-four-year-old female patient, previously treated for rectal adenocarcinoma, our office with exophytic pink tissue masses around tracheostoma. biopsy...
Kirurgija glave in vratu med pandemijo covida-19 je za zdravstveni sistem velik izziv. Pred kirurškimi posegi potrebna ustrezna priprava poznavanje vseh možnosti zdravljenja, da bolnik delavci ne tvegajo okužbe. Treba odložiti vse posege, katerih odložitev ogroža bolnikovega zdravja. Operacijske posege glede na nujnost delimo v tri skupine – prvo skupino sodijo urgentni, neodložljivi posegi, drugo ki jih lahko odložimo največ štiri tedne, tretjo šest do osem tednov vpliva izid zdravljenja....
Background. Cervical necrotizing fasciitis is an infectious disease with serious complications and grave prognosis. We report a case of the cervical consequent bilateral dysfunction superior laryngeal nerves describe characteristics this exceptional complication.Case report. A 71-year-old female patient, surgically treated for fasciitis, suffered from severe dysphagia after surgery. Radiographic fiberendoscopic evaluation showed aspiration hyposensibility glottis supraglottis. Apart...
Narrow-Band Imaging (NBI) is an optical endoscopic technique using optic filters to select two wavebands from a white light source and revealing mucosal submucosal vascular patterns. NBI endoscopy implemented detect various lesions of the nasal oral cavity, oropharynx hypopharynx, larynx; for finding bleeding vessel in recurrent epistaxis, more precise tissue biopsy, diagnostics synchronous cancers, tumours unknown origin, defining surgical margins, inflammation follow-up oncologic patients....
Obstaja veliko možnosti za kritje vrzeli po onkološki kirurgiji na glavi in vratu. Najpogosteje se uporablja prosti fasciokutani radialni reženj, anterolateralni stegenski reženj vezani mišičnokožni t. i. pectoralis maior.Fasciokutani otočni supraklavikularne arterije (SCAIF) je vsestranski s področja nad ključnico ramena. Baziran supraklavikularni arteriji, katere odcepišče od žile arteria transversa colli nahaja v trikotniku vratu, ki ga omejuje posteriorni rob sternokleidomastoidne mišice...
