There is epidemiologic evidence that the increasing incidence of thyroid cancer associated with subclinical disease detection. Evidence for a true increase in has also been identified. However, would likely be heralded by an increased thyroid-referable symptoms patients presenting disease.To evaluate whether modes detection (MODs) used to identify nodules surgical removal have changed compared historic data and determine if MODs vary geographic location.This was retrospective analysis...
This study demonstrates the role of deltoid branch artery as a donor vessel for microvascular reconstruction in various free flaps vessel-depleted neck. is cohort that reports our experience with 12 patients treated between January 5, 2020 and 12, flap utilizing donor. All had necks secondary to previous surgery (75%), radiotherapy (100%), and/or chemotherapy (66%). Donor sites included radial forearm (n = 4), anterolateral thigh 5), latissimus dorsi 3). complete survival, none experienced...

Multiple techniques may be used to perform bicoronal incisions, and alopecia is a known postoperative complication of this procedure. To date, no large studies exist comparing outcomes among incision with without the use Raney clips.To determine (1) whether more common when incisions are performed monopolar cautery, Colorado microdissection tip or traditional cold steel (2) outcome affected by clips.This retrospective study included 505 patients undergoing in single head neck surgery...
Involvement of deep margins represents a significant challenge in the treatment oropharyngeal cancer, and given practical limitations frozen-section analysis, need exists for real-time, nondestructive intraoperative margin analysis. Wide-field optical coherence tomography (WF-OCT) has been evaluated as tool high-resolution adjunct specimen imaging breast surgery, but its clinical application head neck surgery not explored.To evaluate utility WF-OCT visualizing microstructures at excised oral...
Analyze patients treated with transoral robotic surgery (TORS) in the context of eighth edition American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system.Retrospective cohort study including 110 human papillomavirus-related oropharyngeal cancer (HPV+OPC) a minimum 1-year follow-up TORS between 2007 to 2016. Kaplan-Meier methods were used estimate 3-year disease-free survival and assess differences recurrence.One hundred ten median 54 months analyzed. Of those, 85% male, age 60. Twenty-two...
Abstract The vessel-depleted neck presents a unique and challenging scenario for reconstructive surgery of the head neck. Prior radiation often result in significant scarring damage to vasculature, making identification suitable recipient vessels microvascular free tissue transfer exceedingly difficult. Therefore, alternative techniques and/or vessel options must be considered obtain successful outcome patient. In this article, we discuss our experience approach management neck, emphasizing...
