[OBJECTIVE] To describe the clinical predictors of survival, disease control, and functional outcomes in patients with HPV-negative oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) who underwent primary transoral surgery (TOS). [STUDY DESIGN]…

[OBJECTIVES] Evaluate the association of plating strategies with hardware removal and operative time, after adjusting for relevant clinical variables. [STUDY DESIGN] Retrospective Review. [SETTING] Multiple Academic Medical Centers. [MET…

[BACKGROUND] To describe utilization and outcomes of submandibular gland flap (SGF) reconstruction after transoral robotic surgery (TORS) for oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC). [METHODS] A multi-institutional retrospective case…

[OBJECTIVES] To assess airway, safety, and resource utilization outcomes between transoral base of tongue (BOT) surgery with staged versus concurrent bilateral neck dissections (BND). [METHODS] A retrospective cohort study of patients with…

[INTRODUCTION] Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) affects the vascular system, subjecting patients to a hypercoagulable state. This is of particular concern for the success of microvascular free flap reconstruction. This study aims to repo…

[BACKGROUND] Given limitations in the current literature, the precise indications, techniques, and outcomes relevant to vascularized fascia lata free flap reconstruction remain uncertain. The objective of this study was to perform a systema…

[INTRODUCTION] Cervical spine defects result in spinal instability, putting the spinal cord and vertebral arteries at risk of damage and possibly devastating neurological injuries. The fibula free flap can span the spinal defects for stabil…

[BACKGROUND] Although lumpectomy with oncoplastic breast reduction (OBR) improves cosmetic results and ameliorates symptomatic macromastia, associated complications may delay adjuvant therapy. [METHODS] This was a single-institution, retro…

[OBJECTIVES] Aggressive surgical debridement is required in cervical necrotizing fasciitis, and in severe defects, subsequent free tissue transfer might be necessary. However, there is concern that the inflammatory environment of the infect…

[OBJECTIVES] (1) Evaluate the association of flap type with late complications in patients undergoing osseous head and neck reconstruction with the fibula free flap (FFF), osteocutaneous radial forearm free flap (OCRFFF), and scapula free f…

[OBJECTIVE] To systematically review the literature to determine the prevalence and risk of the free flap and postoperative complications in scalp-free tissue reconstruction with synthetic mesh cranioplasty. [DATA SOURCES] Search strategie…

[UNLABELLED] For patients with large and/or ptotic breasts, a planned staged approach to nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) has been described. Less is known about surgical outcomes of unplanned staged NSM for management of positive margins af…

An oncoplastic breast reduction may disrupt normal lymphatic drainage and make subsequent identification of the sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs) unreliable. There are little data on the success rate of sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) after rec…

Fibular free flap reconstruction of head and neck defects is complex, and the anatomic relationships among components of the fibular flap pose challenges to reconstructive surgeons. Various techniques have been employed in planning for fibu…

[BACKGROUND] Composite flaps based on the subscapular arterial system are excellent choices for complex defects, including those of the head and neck, though rates of anatomic variants are not well described. [OBJECTIVE] Characterize subsc…

 Given the limitations in the available literature, the precise indications, techniques, and outcomes of anterior skull base free flap reconstruction remain uncertain. The objective of this study was to perform a systematic review of publis…

[IMPORTANCE] Surgical site infections (SSIs) after vascularized reconstruction of the upper aerodigestive tract (UADT) are associated with considerable morbidity. The association between perioperative prophylaxis practices, particularly top…

[OBJECTIVE] To systematically review management of flap loss in head and neck construction with free tissue transfer as compared with locoregional flap or conservative management. [DATA SOURCES] Medline, Embase, Scopus, Cochrane Central Re…

[UNLABELLED] Tissue rearrangement after an oncoplastic breast reduction may complicate identification of margins during reexcision. Little is known about outcomes of reoperation in this setting. [METHODS] This is a single-institution, retr…

[OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS] To determine the frequency and management of short- and long-term complications related to oromandibular free flap reconstruction and identify potentially predictive factors of hardware complications. [STUDY DESIGN]…

Reconstructive outcomes after complete temporomandibular joint (TMJ) resection, including the condyle and glenoid fossa bone, are poorly defined in the literature. We described our technique and reviewed occlusion and functional outcomes of…
