Purpose Sarcopenia is associated with decreased survival and increased complications in patients renal cell carcinoma. Readily identifying low muscle composition that may experience worse outcomes or would benefit from preoperative intervention of clinical interest. Traditional body analysis methods are resource intensive; therefore, linear segmentation routine imaging has been proposed as a clinically practical alternative. This study assesses segmentation’s prognostic utility nonmetastatic...
Abstract Objective To describe our modifications to the submental island flap (SMIF) in a case series that demonstrates improved reproducibility, shortened length of stay (LOS), and reduced utilization hospital resources. Study Design This retrospective with chart review included adult patients who underwent resection malignant or benign tumors resulting lateral facial, parotid, temporal bone defects, which were reconstructed SMIF. Setting A tertiary‐care academic referral center. Methods...
To describe utilization and outcomes of submandibular gland flap (SGF) reconstruction after transoral robotic surgery (TORS) for oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC).
Abstract Background Preoperative skeletal muscle deficiency is an established risk factor for poor survival outcomes in patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC). However, given the dynamic nature of associated malignancy, there a need to evaluate prognostic benefit area change from preoperative postoperative period. We hypothesize that improvement following nephrectomy, measured by linear segmentation L3 psoas and paraspinal musculature, overall (OS) cancer specific (CSS) pT3 pT4 RCC....
617 Background: In renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and other solid organ malignancies, sarcopenia has been associated with decreased survival increased perioperative complications. Traditional body composition analysis is an expensive time extensive process. As a modifiable risk factor, more clinic friendly methods to identify patients low muscle of interest. Linear segmentation on routine imaging proposed as fast, reliable reproducible alternative. This study assesses the prognostic ability...
A patient with chronic submandibular sialolithiasis underwent conservative treatment appropriate imaging and multiple biopsies that continually revealed inflammation. Due to continued symptoms, the eventual excision finaly pathology salivary mucinous adenocarcinoma, which is a rare poorly understood malignancy. Persistent diagnostic workup high suspicion for gland lesions important diagnosis treatment. More attention research on this specific entity can help future clinicians better diagnose...
