ABSTRACT Background Sarcopenia, the systemic loss of skeletal muscle mass and function, is prevalent particularly detrimental to head neck cancer (HNC) patients. Cancer‐associated sarcopenia involves complex mechanisms poor nutrition inflammation, highlighting necessity for preoperative identification these high‐risk Methods A multi‐site retrospective chart review (2016–2021) was performed on HNC patients undergoing total laryngectomy with or without reconstruction. Preoperative lab values...
Abstract Background The SARS‐CoV‐2 (COVID‐19) pandemic has caused rapid changes in head and neck cancer (HNC) care. “Real‐time” methods to monitor practice patterns can optimize provider safety patient Methods Head surgeons from 14 institutions the United States regularly contributed their a shared spreadsheet. Data 27 March 2020 5 April was analyzed. Results All had significantly restricted HNC clinic evaluations. Two stopped free‐flap surgery with remaining scheduling by committee review....
Letters of reference (LORs) play an important role in postgraduate residency applications. Human-written LORs have been shown to carry implicit gender bias, such as using more agentic versus communal words for men, and frequent doubt-raisers references appearance personal life women. This can result inequitable access opportunities Given the known gendered language often unconsciously inserted into human-written LORs, we sought identify whether generated by artificial intelligence exhibit bias.
Objectives/Hypothesis To compare three different inoculation techniques for the development of cytomegalovirus (CMV)‐induced sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) in a mouse model. Study Design A prospective experimental animal study. Methods BALB/c mice underwent using green fluorescent protein‐expressing (mCMV‐GFP) via transtympanic (TT), intraperitoneal (IP), or intracranial (IC) routes. Control received an equal volume saline. Hearing thresholds were measured both distortion product...
Abstract Introduction Historically, there were concerns vasopressors impair free flap outcomes, but recent studies suggest are safe. Here we investigate this controversy by (1) evaluating vasopressors' effect on head and neck free‐flap survival surgical complications, (2) performing soft tissue bony subset analysis. Patients methods Post hoc analysis was performed of a single‐blinded, prospective, randomized clinical trial at tertiary care academic medical center involving patients ≥18 years...
Objective Determine the effectiveness of temporoparietal fascia flap (TPFF) with adipose tissue in preventing cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks for lateral skull base tumor reconstruction. Design A retrospective chart review from 2005 to 2010 was conducted patients undergoing resection. Patients TPFF reconstruction were compared those packing alone based on lumbar drain placement, size, extent dissection, and incidence CSF leak. Data analyzed a Fisher exact test at p < 0.05. Setting Tertiary...
Importance Postoperative radiation therapy for close surgical margins in low- to intermediate-grade salivary carcinomas lacks multi-institutional supportive evidence. Objective To evaluate the oncologic outcomes and with positive margins. Design, Setting, Participants The American Head Neck Society Salivary Gland Section conducted a retrospective cohort study from 2010 2019 at 41 centers. Margins were classified as R0 (negative), R1 (microscopically positive), or R2 (macroscopically...
Closure technique for optimization of postoperative and functional outcomes following salvage laryngectomy remains an area debate among head neck surgeons.
Fungal infections of the nasal cavity can be destructive entities that are typically seen in immunocompromised hosts. We present a case localized fungal abscess septum an immunocompetent host after endoscopic treatment maxillary sinus fungus balls.A 51-year-old woman with history asthma and recent oral steroids presented bilateral mycetomas. She underwent surgery. The postoperative course was complicated by flare, which required steroids. patient returned obstruction, results physical...
Burnout has been previously assessed in head and neck microvascular reconstructive surgeons (HNMVS), but not the context of modifiable workplace factors.Anonymous, cross-sectional survey. The Abbreviated Maslach Inventory - Human Services Survey for Medical Personnel (aMBI-HSS) was utilized to assess emotional exhaustion (EE), depersonalization (DP), personal achievement (PA). Modifiable risk factors were also evaluated.High burnout by EE, DP, PA demonstrated 24%, 9%, 27% respondents,...
Objective: Hemoptysis in the pediatric population may be caused by foreign body aspiration, cystic fibrosis, bronchiectasis, or infection. Vascular causes are uncommon. We present a rare cause of hemoptysis related to bronchial artery pseudoaneurysm. Methods: report case child with pseudoaneurysm causing and describe clinical evaluation, treatment, outcome. Results: A 12-year-old girl presented tertiary children’s hospital history daily, intermittent, moderate-volume hemoptysis. Rigid...
Abstract Background The availability of paid parental leave is an important factor for retention and wellness. experiences head neck surgeons with have never been reported. Methods A survey was electronically distributed to subspecialty in the United States. Responses were collected analyzed. Results Male had more children took significantly less than women. Thirty percent respondents reported that negatively impacted compensation, 14% a delay promotion due leave, which women men. vast...
Abstract Objective This study aimed to solve the debate over role and extent of neck dissection treat any occult nodal metastasis in patients undergoing salvage laryngectomy for recurrent and/or residual squamous cell carcinoma larynx. Methods was a retrospective time frame 6 years (2016–2022) 74 who underwent bilateral or persistent disease with N0 neck. We calculated incidence ipsilateral contralateral Results Incidence as 8.11 per cent it 0 Regarding level distribution, II highest at 6.76...
Chronic invasive fungal sinusitis (CIFS) is a rare form of which can cause significant morbidity and mortality. While it typically affects immunocompromised patients, there are reports in the literature describe CIFS affecting immunocompetent patients. Here we case an patient who presented with nasopharyngeal mass found to be CIFS, discuss how avoid possible delay diagnosis when evaluating atypical sinonasal lesions.
