Objectives/Hypothesis To identify a clinical predictor score for difficult laryngeal exposure (DLE) during operative microlaryngoscopy. Study Design Prospective cohort study in two academic institutions. Methods We evaluated 319 patients before microlaryngoscopy benign and malignant glottic diseases by standardized preoperative assessment protocol (Laryngoscore) that included 11 parameters: interincisors gap (IIG), thyro‐mental distance, upper jaw dental status, trismus, mandibular...
Objectives/Hypothesis To demonstrate that endoscopic resection (ER), open partial laryngectomies, and cricotracheal anastomosis (CTRA) achieve a good balance between oncologic radicality organ preservation for laryngeal low‐grade chondrosarcoma (LCS) intermediate‐grade (ICS). Study Design Retrospective series in an academic institution. Methods Between 2001 2013, we treated 13 cricoid, two thyroid, one arytenoid LCS ICS. Two cricoid the only were managed by ER. thyroid ala submitted to...
To seek a correlation between the four types of transoral supraglottic laryngectomies (TSLs) according to European Laryngological Society (ELS) and postoperative morbidity.Retrospective case series at an academic institution.Chart review was done for 96 patients affected by T1-T3 cancers (28 pT1, 46 pT2, 22 pT3) treated TSL (29 type I, 14 II, 35 III, 18 IV) with CO2 laser. Five-year overall survival (OS), disease-specific (DSS), local control laser alone (LCL), organ preservation (OP) were...
To evaluate outcomes in different malignancies involving the thyroid and infiltrating airway submitted to tracheal (TRA) or crico-tracheal resection anastomosis (CTRA).Retrospective charts review of 27 patients affected by treated TRA/CTRA a single academic institution. Kaplan-Meier curves were used overall (OS) disease-specific (DSS) survivals local (LC) loco-regional control (LRC). Impact on survival age, comorbidities, previous radiotherapy, types TRA/CTRA, Shin's stage (II, III, IV),...
Abstract Background Neck dissection is considered the treatment of choice in patients with lateral neck metastases from well‐differentiated thyroid cancer. Methods A multicenter, retrospective review who underwent therapeutic for carcinoma was carried out. Results The study included a total 405 dissections performed 352 patients; 197 women (56%) and 155 men (44%). When considering ipsilateral metastases, levels IIa, IIb, III, IV, Va, Vb, V (not otherwise specified) were involved 42%, 6%,...
Abstract Background Many studies have recently emphasized the role of tumor angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis in regional distant spread disease. Although early laryngeal cancer has a favorable oncologic outcome after conservative surgery or radiation therapy, we observed few cases with poor prognosis terms locoregional relapse, organ preservation, survival. The aim our study was to evaluate immunohistochemical expression CD31 podoplanin define angiogenic lymphangiogenic patterns their...
Aim Ectopic eruption of a tooth within the dental arch is often noticed in clinical practice and well documented literature, while ectopic outside (as maxillary sinus) rare. Due to its rarity lack consensus over management, incidence needs be further defined. Surgical approach, with cyst enucleation, has been considered treatment choice. In present study, case an third molar chronic purulent sinusitis presented. The aim this report describe extraction molar carried out through nasal...
Mucosal melanomas of the head and neck region are uncommon pathologies that can affect oral cavity, characterized by a high rate mortality. Considering lack knowledge regarding risk prognostic factors, current best clinical practice is represented large surgical excision with disease-free margins, eventually associated reconstructive flap. Indeed, given frequent necessity postoperative radiotherapy fast healing process, reconstruction gap advisable. Even if several flaps have been most...
A generalized skeletal dysplasia with features of chronic idiopathic hyperhosphatasia and fibrous the mandidible were observed in a 6-year-old child. The abnormal development bones resulted from enhanced remodeling failure mature bone to from. occurence two lessions same child review litterature support hypothesis that pathogensis dyolasia byperphosphatasia reflect an underlying common defect control cell activity.
This study investigates the use of near-infrared fluorescence imaging (NIFI) as an alternative to intraoperative parathyroid hormone (ioPTH) measurement in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHP) due adenoma (PA) two preoperative examinations agreement on position altered gland.
Total thyroidectomy is associated with a high rate of transient or permanent hypoparathyroidism. During surgery, indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescein angiography can be used to detect and preserve well-vascularized parathyroid glands. This technique has been introduced as an intraoperative support prevent postoperative
