<h3>Importance</h3> Three-dimensional (3D) printing is an emerging tool in the creation of anatomical models for simulation and preoperative planning. Its use sinus skull base surgery has been limited because difficulty replicating details anatomy. <h3>Objective</h3> To describe development 3D-printed endoscopic surgery. <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> In this single-center study performed from April 1, 2017, through June a total 7 otolaryngology residents 2 attending physicians at...
Prognosis of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is largely determined by the extent lymph node (LN) metastasis at diagnosis, this appears to be controlled cancer genetics. To examine role these genes in LN metastasis, we created a human-in-mouse orthotopic model HNSCC performed comparative microarray analysis gene expression between populations lines derived before after serial transplantation vivo mice. Microarray comparing USC-HN3-GFP, USC-HN3-GFP-G1 USC-HN3-GFP-G2 identified...
Velopharyngeal insufficiency in children with cleft palate (and other causes) contributes to difficulty communication and quality of life. The pharyngeal flap is a workhorse address hypernasality nasal air escape. However, there paucity literature on the characteristics cases that require revision.To measure revision rate flaps, compare preperceptual postperceptual speech scores, identify those patients who required revision.A retrospective medical record review was completed for underwent...
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...
Locoregional relapse in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is common, approaching 50% for some subsites despite multimodality therapy. Salvage surgery the standard of care, but able to achieve durable control only a minority patients. While adjuvant radiotherapy or chemo-radiotherapy offered select patients, this approach can be prohibitively toxic. Given activity tolerability programmed death-1 inhibitors metastatic HNSCC, we investigated safety efficacy nivolumab...
In order to increase junior resident physician proficiency and improve patient safety, simulation-based procedural training courses, or bootcamps, have been become an emerging educational tool.To compare pre- post-course confidence levels assess station efficacy after completion of our single day bootcamp.We developed the University California (UC) Davis otolaryngology bootcamp, a course including six cadaveric task trainer stations four simulations. The included (1) Epistaxis, (2)...
Objective To compare improvement in patient‐reported outcomes (PROM) persons undergoing endoscopic and open surgical management of Zenker diverticula (ZD). Methodology Prospective, multicenter cohort study all individuals enrolled the Prospective OUtcomes Cricopharyngeus Hypertonicity (POUCH) Collaborative who underwent surgery for ZD. Patient survey, radiography reports, 10‐item Eating Assessment Tool (EAT‐10) pre‐ post‐procedure were abstracted from a REDCap database, which summarized...
Objective To describe demographics and imaging compare findings symptoms at presentation in a large cohort of persons with cricopharyngeus muscle dysfunction (CPMD) without hypopharyngeal diverticula. Methodology Prospective, multicenter study all individuals enrolled the Prospective OUtcomes Cricopharyngeal Hypertonicity (POUCH) Collaborative. Patient survey, comorbidities, radiography, laryngoscopy findings, patient‐reported outcome measures (e.g., Eating Assessment Tool [EAT‐10]) data...
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...
Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a rare mesenchymal neoplasm that can present essentially anywhere in the body. Presentations hypopharynx are extremely with only two previous cases reported. We report first case of postcricoid SFT occurring 58-year-old male requiring microsuspension laryngoscopy excision following an unsuccessful transoral robotic attempt. The was uneventful, and patient currently without recurrence. Current management strategies hypopharyngeal SFT, unique differential...
Objective Total laryngectomy is a well‐established treatment for locally advanced laryngeal cancer. Evidence the benefit of post‐operative radiotherapy after in patients with primaries and N0 or N1 nodal disease limited. This study aimed to determine whether total alone adequate therapy certain patient subgroups Design We performed retrospective survival analysis surveillance epidemiology end results ( SEER ) database cancer between 2004 2012. Outcome Measures Primary outcome measure was...
Objective To assess barium esophagram (BAS) as a diagnostic marker for patients with Killian Jamieson diverticula (KJD). Methods Prospective, multicenter cohort study of individuals enrolled in the Prospective OUtcomes Cricopharyngeus Hypertonicity (POUCH) Collaborative. Patient demographics, comorbidities, radiographic imaging reports, laryngoscopy findings, patient‐reported outcome measures (PROM), and operative reporting were abstracted from REDCap database summarized using means,...
6031 Background: Salvage surgery for locally recurrent head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (rHNSCC) results in local control rates of 33-50% but only 20-40% patients achieve long-term survival necessitating additional therapy (Haque et al., Oral Oncol. 2019). Many are ineligible re-irradiation chemotherapy alone after salvage surgeryhas shown no benefit. The clinical activity tolerability immune checkpoint inhibitors has been demonstrated metastatic HNSCC, the benefit (SS) not studied....
Preseptal cellulitis is an infection of ocular tissue that often unilateral and caused by extension sinonasal disease. In rare instances it can lead to life-threatening necrotizing fasciitis. We present here a unique case bilateral preseptal incited local conjunctivitis prescription eye drops. The patient was immunosuppressed, which allowed her inflammation progress severe and, ultimately, This necessitated serial debridement ophthalmology otolaryngology teams prolonged course intravenous...
