ABSTRACT Background The optimal margins for surgically treated human papilloma virus (HPV)‐related oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) remain undefined. We evaluated the impact of surgical on progression‐free survival (PFS) in patients with HPV+ OPSCC primary transoral robotic surgery (TORS). Methods Patients undergoing TORS from May 2012 to December 2021 intermediate‐risk (T1–T2, resected clear (≥ 3 mm) or close (< mm), and N1‐N2) were included. Survival outcomes reviewed,...
Abstract Background To help ensure adequate hemostasis immediately following potassium titanyl phosphate (KTP) laser treatment, many centres treating hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) routinely use nasal packing post‐operatively. The purpose of this study was to compare hemostatic thrombin matrix with standard for postoperative bleeding, patient pain, and comfort. Methods A prospective, randomized, double‐blinded, non‐inferiority conducted participants at an HHT centre excellence...
Introduction Resection of the mandible and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) without formal reconstruction is a devastating condition that negatively affects all aspects patient's life. We have approached mandibular defects include condyle with simultaneous vascularized free fibular flap (FFF) using Surgical Design Simulation (SDS) alloplastic TMJ prosthesis. The objective this study to report functional quality life (QOL) outcomes in cohort patients had undergone our reconstructive protocol....
Background: Three-dimensional imaging can be used to obtain objective assessments of facial morphology that is useful in a variety clinical settings. The VECTRA H1 unique it relatively inexpensive, handheld, and does not require standardized environmental conditions for image capture. Although provides accurate measurements when relaxed expressions, the evaluation many disorders involves assessment performing movements. aim this study was assess accuracy reliability H1, specifically...
The objective of this study was to examine the utility postoperative radiation for low and intermediate grade cancers parotid submandibular glands.The authors conducted a retrospective, Canadian-led, international, multi-institutional analysis patient cohort with or salivary gland cancer who were treated from 2010 until 2020 without therapy. A multivariable, marginal Cox proportional hazards regression performed quantify association between locoregional recurrence (LRR) receipt therapy while...
The SARS-CoV-2 virus (COVID19) pandemic has placed extreme pressures on the Canadian Healthcare system. Many health care regions in Canada have cancelled or limited surgical and non-surgical interventions patients to preserve healthcare resources for a predicted increase COVID19 related hospital admissions. Also reduced may limit risk of possible transmission other workers during this pandemic. majority institutions developed their own operational mandates regarding access suffering from...
Abstract Background Transoral laser microsurgery for glottic squamous cell carcinoma is the standard of care at many institutions. Repeat transoral recurrence may avoid need radiotherapy and total laryngectomy. This study aimed to identify oncological functional outcomes in a cohort patients who had undergone repeat procedures. Method A retrospective review prospectively collected data treated with situ or tumour stages T 1 2 cancer, from 2003 2018. Results Twenty were identified. Additional...
Abstract Background The tongue is an essential organ for human interaction, communication and survival. To date, there a paucity of objective functional, patient reported, or quality life outcomes patients undergoing total glossectomy with preservation the larynx (TGLP). Objective examine prospectively collected objective, self‐reported functional (QOL) data in TGLP free flap reconstruction. Methods Sixteen were identified prospective head neck cancer database between January 2009 December...
Importance: Conventional reconstruction techniques for superficial parotidectomy have been criticized their ability to provide long-term volumetric correction and prevent Frey's syndrome. Objective: To demonstrate the effectiveness of a pedicled innervated sternocleidomastoid muscle flap (PISCMMF) reconstruct defects. Design, Setting, Participants: This is retrospective cohort study patients treated by single surgeon in tertiary care center from July 2012 March 2018. Seventeen possible 34...
Lymph node count (LNC) from neck dissection has been associated with undernutrition and survival in head squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). As local components of the immune system, cervical lymph nodes may reflect anti-tumor status. This study investigates relationship between decreased LNC, formation tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS), primary tumor infiltration by lymphocytes undernourished patients.
