It is the purpose of this study to determine incidence shoulder pain and restricted range motion after neck dissection, identify risk factors for development motion.Clinical patients who underwent a dissection completed questionnaire assessing pain. The intensity was assessed using visual analog scale (100 mm). Range measured. Information about reconstructive surgery side type retrieved from medical records.Of (n = 177, mean age 60.3 years [SD, 11.9]) 70% experienced in shoulder. Forward...

SUMMARY Although neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) is frequently used in esophageal cancer patients undergoing treatment with curative intent, it can negatively impact patients’ physical fitness. A decline fitness during may be an indication of vulnerability. The aim this study was to evaluate whether changes fitness, weight, and fat-free mass index (FFMI) nCRT predict the risk postoperative pneumonia. retrospective longitudinal observational cohort performed who received for between...

Muscle-sparing transplantation of the sternocostal part pectoralis major muscle while preserving clavicular may reduce donor-site morbidity, particularly in cases where dissection lymph nodes neck has been performed. The nerve supply and motor function is alleged to be preserved when transposed through deltopectoral groove. This study aims objectify such preservation.Muscle activity remaining abdominal parts was determined electromyographically, dynamometrically, goniometrically on 17 sides...

The aim of this study was to assess body composition and physical strength changes during neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) their predictive value for (severe) postoperative complications overall survival in patients who underwent oesophagectomy oesophageal cancer.Consecutive nCRT with curative intent a tertiary referral center were included the study. Perioperative data collected prospectively maintained database. CT images before after used skeletal muscle index (SMI), subcutaneous fat...
