[OBJECTIVE] To evaluate national trends in racial disparities for patients undergoing head and neck reconstructive surgery. [METHODS] Retrospective analysis using the 2008 to 2021 American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Impr…

[OBJECTIVE] Mandibular osteoradionecrosis (MORN) is a morbid complication of head and neck radiation therapy. Recent advances in surgical and medical therapies underscore the need for a shift in traditional treatment paradigms and a disease…

The greater saphenous vein can be harvested from the standard incision for an anterolateral free flap and used as a vein graft in complex head and neck reconstruction. Laryngoscope, 134:648-650, 2024.…

Pediatric facial palsy is rare but severely debilitating and results in profound functional, developmental, psychosocial, and esthetic consequences. Identifying the specific cause of the palsy is important in directing the treatment course.…

[INTRODUCTION] The profunda artery perforator (PAP) fasciocutaneous flap is underutilized in head and neck reconstruction, with advantages including ease of harvest and minimal donor site morbidity. [METHODS] Cadaveric dissection of cutane…

[BACKGROUND] Resected oral cavity carcinoma defects are often reconstructed with osteocutaneous or soft-tissue free flaps, but risk of osteoradionecrosis (ORN) is unknown. [METHODS] This retrospective study included oral cavity carcinoma t…

[IMPORTANCE] Mandibular osteoradionecrosis (ORN) is a progressive disease that can be difficult to treat. Conservative measures often fail, while conventional definitive management requires a morbid segmental resection with osteocutaneous r…

This review aims to summarize recent studies regarding the specific modalities of physical therapy as a form of treatment for patients with facial paralysis, analyze the different components of physical therapy, and provide healthcare provi…

[PURPOSE] Nasal septal perforation (NSP) repair is a complex procedure with variable techniques and success rates. In this study we describe NSP repair using a trilayer interposition graft of temporalis fascia and thin polydioxanone (PDS) p…
