Background Three‐dimensional (3D) computer modeling and interactive virtual reality (VR) simulation are validated teaching techniques used throughout medical disciplines. Little objective data exists supporting its use in clinical anatomy. Learner motivation is thought to limit the rate of utilization such novel technologies. The purpose this study evaluate effectiveness, satisfaction, associated with immersive VR students neuroanatomy. Methods Images normal cerebral anatomy were...
Abstract Objective We aim to more accurately characterize the current distribution and rates of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) cases across various oral cavity subsites in United States. Study Design Retrospective cohort. Setting Database study evaluating cancer incidence States from 2001 2017. Methods utilized US Cancer Statistics Public Use Database, which includes deidentified data reported Centers for Disease Control Prevention's National Program Registries Institute's SEER (Surveillance,...
Objectives: Osteocutaneous free flap reconstruction can be complicated by hardware failure. The present study investigates the frequency and predictors of failure in head neck osteocutaneous reconstruction. Methods: Patients who underwent between years 2014 2022 were identified at our institution. Hardware was defined as infection, screw plate loosening, exposed hardware, migration, deformation, or fracture. Results: We 47 patients met inclusion criteria for this study. Common indications...
To assess the geographic distribution of head and neck oncology surgeons (HNS) in U.S. to evaluate association this with neighborhood-level social determinants health as measured by Social Vulnerability Index (SVI). U.S.-based HNSs their practice addresses were obtained from publicly available sources. The was analyzed at state, county, metropolitan statistical area levels. census tracts scored on a continuous scale increasing vulnerability (0-1) across Overall SVI four subthemes:...
Objective To describe patient demographics, histology, treatment modalities, and survival associated with adult sinonasal rhabdomyosarcoma. Study Design Retrospective review of a national database. Setting Tertiary medical center. Subjects Methods Patient tumor trends were examined for patients aged ≥18 years who diagnosed rhabdomyosarcoma between 2004 2013 the National Cancer Database. Kaplan-Meier analysis log-rank tests performed to determine unadjusted association overall various disease...
It is impossible to secure the airway of a patient with “neck‐only” breathing transorally or transnasally. Surgical removal larynx (laryngectomy) tracheal rerouting (tracheoesophageal diversion laryngotracheal separation) creates anatomic discontinuity. Misguided attempts at oral intubation neck breathers may cause hypoxic brain injury death. We present national data from American Academy Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, Head Society, United Kingdom’s National Reporting Learning...
Race has been shown to have variable prognostic importance in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). However, previous studies are limited by a lack of comprehensive treatment, epidemiologic, and comorbidity data.This was retrospective cohort study utilizing the National Cancer Database from 2004 2016. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards regressions were used calculate adjusted hazard ratios (aHR) for overall survival.A 9995 patients met inclusion exclusion criteria. Race, insurance,...
Abstract Objective To characterize neighborhood‐level area deprivation's association with oropharyngeal carcinoma clinicodemographics, tumor staging, recurrence, and overall survival. Study Design Retrospective study. Setting Single institution academic medical center. Methods Patients diagnosed squamous cell (OPSCC) between 2007 2022 at our were included in this The Area Deprivation Index (ADI) was used to quantify disadvantage based on patients’ primary residence the time of their...
Fiberoptic laryngoscopy is dependent on accurate descriptions of examination findings. Traditional recording methods can be impractical for inpatient consults. Therefore, we aim to determine the utility a smartphone-coupled portable system with flexible transmitting information between resident and attending physicians in real-time setting.Pilot prospective study tertiary academic hospital.This consultations referral hospital over 3-month period from April 2015 June 2015. Flexible was...
Objectives/Hypothesis The recent addition of mandatory program‐specific paragraphs within the personal statement during otolaryngology match process has been controversial. It is unclear whether applicants customize these for programs, or if they are largely uniform across applications. objective our study was to assess degree variability among paragraphs. Study Design Retrospective cohort analysis. Methods An analysis deidentified 2016 residency at two institutions performed. Applicants who...
Patient safety and quality improvement (PS/QI) has become an integral part of the health care system, ability to effectively use data track, understand, communicate performance is essential designing implementing initiatives, as well assessing their impact. Though many otolaryngologists are proficient in methodologies traditional research pursuits, educational gaps remain foundational principles PS/QI measurement strategies. Part IV this primer discusses fundamentals design analysis methods...
The incidence of oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) is increasing secondary to human papillomavirus (HPV)-related disease. Despite this, outcomes patients with HPV-negative OPSCC undergoing transoral robotic surgery (TORS) are largely unknown.Analysis the National Cancer Database (NCDB).Not applicable.The 2015 participant user file from NCDB was analyzed between 2010 and for who underwent TORS neck dissection. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis used estimate overall study population....
Abstract Background Little data exists regarding the incidence of oropharyngeal and upper aerodigestive tract (UADT) second primary malignancies (SPM) among human papilloma virus (HPV)‐positive squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC). Here we evaluate SPM rates patients with HPV‐related OPSCC. Methods A retrospective cohort study 412 OPSCC who underwent transoral resection +/− adjuvant therapy at a single center between 1996 2018. Results Twenty (4.9%) developed UADT, nine (2.2%) occurring in...
Hybrid peripheral nerve sheath tumors (HPNSTs) are classified as benign that consist of at least two tumor subtypes - neurofibroma, schwannoma, or perineurioma the lesion site. While there reports these lesions in head and neck, is no documentation a hypopharynx hybrid neurofibroma-schwannoma literature. This case report describes clinical presentation, treatment, histopathologic features 45-year-old man. The patient presented to clinic with mild dysphagia globus but prior history neck...
