Abstract Objectives Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging is commonly requested by dental implant surgeons, pre‐operatively, for patients being considered for dental implants. Incidental maxillary sinus findings often result in otolaryngology (ENT) referral for further assessment. CBCT findings include transient and benign mucosal changes that may not require any intervention and therefore unnecessarily delay implant surgery. We aim to define appropriateness criteria for ESS in the management...

Abstract Background Patients with head and neck cancer (HNC) who are not candidates for definitive treatment represent an increasing challenge, with limited data to guide management. Conventional local therapies such as surgery and chemoradiation can significantly impact quality of life (QoL). There has been limited data published using stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) as primary treatment in previously unirradiated patients. We hypothesize that SBRT provides high rates of control while...

Abstract Background Locoregional recurrence rates following parotidectomy for cancer remain as high as 20‐30%. The auriculotemporal nerve (ATN) may allow parotid cancers to spread from the facial nerve (FN) toward the skull base, causing local recurrence. Methods Retrospective review of 173 parotidectomies for malignancy. Preoperative and post‐recurrence imaging were reviewed by a neuroradiologist for signs of tumor adjacent to the ATN. Results Clinical and imaging signs of possible...

Abstract Background This study demonstrates the anatomy of the pedicled temporal artery posterior auricular skin (TAPAS) flap, its variable arc of rotation based on stepwise dissection, and case reports demonstrating clinical use. This flap provides excellent color match and ultrathin tissue for targeted reconstruction of small‐ to medium‐sized facial subunit defects. Methods Twenty‐six cadaver dissections were performed. The authors measured the reach and rotation limits of the flap in...

Abstract Oral cancer is on the rise globally and survival rates, despite improvements in clinical care, have not significantly improved. Early detection followed by immediate intervention is key to improving patient outcomes. The use of biomarkers has changed the diagnostic landscape for many cancers. For oral cancers, visual inspection followed by a tissue biopsy is standard practice. The discovery of microRNAs as potential biomarkers has attracted clinical interest but several challenges remain....

Abstract With an increase in the number of cochlear implant surgeries there is bound to be an increase in the number of complications. A dreaded problem in any implant procedure is the implant exposure and infection. Explantation of the implant leads to an unpleasant situation to the patient and the surgeon owing to the high cost of the device. There are reports in the literature favouring the mandatory relocation or removal of the infected implants. On the other hand, there...

Abstract A laryngoscopically benign lesion with minimal hoarseness may turn out to be mimickers of malignancy or malignancy itself. Histopathological study is mandatory in such cases to rule out malignancy. A descriptive study of histopathological and laryngoscopic findings of benign laryngeal lesions were studies over a period of 4.5 years. Among the thirty-six patients studied, the mean age of the patients was 42 years. The most common presenting complaint was hoarseness of...

Abstract Difficult airway is a commonly encountered problem in the anesthesia practice, might needing otolaryngologist expert in creation of surgical airway. Supraglottic airways, surgical or needle cricothyrotomy, high frequency jet ventilation, cardiopulmonary bypass (Tunstall in Can J Anaesth 36:611–613, 1989) are initial rescue measures in such scenario. But in otolaryngology practice, patient presenting with stridor having difficult airway and difficult tracheostomy concurrently...
