[OBJECTIVE] To analyze the clinical outcomes associated with free flap bony reconstruction of maxillary defects. [DATA SOURCES] A systematic search was performed on PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar databases. [REVIEW METHODS] A single-a…

[BACKGROUND] This study develops a predictive model that stratifies patients with HPV-related oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) by survival outcomes based on adjuvant treatment received following transoral surgery (TOS). [METHO…

[BACKGROUND] The role of postoperative antithrombotic therapy in microvascular free flap reconstruction remains controversial, with no consensus on the optimal regimen. [METHODS] A systematic review and arm-based Bayesian network meta-anal…

[BACKGROUND] Osteoradionecrosis (ORN) is a severe complication following radiotherapy (RT), particularly after mandibular reconstruction with a fibula free flap. Risk prediction remains challenging due to limited data. [METHODS] We conduct…

[OBJECTIVE] This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of the profunda artery perforator (PAP) flap in head and neck reconstruction. [METHODS] A single arm meta-analysis was performed for flap survival rate (primary outcome), reoperation for…

[OBJECTIVE] We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to compare venous couplers and hand-sewn techniques for venous anastomosis in head and neck reconstruction. [DATA SOURCES] PubMed/MEDLINE and Scopus, databases were searched fo…

[OBJECTIVES] Older adults are an increasing proportion of patients with HPV-related oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC), and transoral surgery (TOS) remains a valid treatment option for this population. This study aimed to evaluat…

[BACKGROUND] This study compares the oncological outcomes of primary transoral surgery (TOS) and primary radiotherapy (RT) in elderly patients with HPV-related oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC). [METHODS] This retrospective coh…

: This cross-sectional survey aimed to comprehensively gather data on radial forearm free flap (RFFF) utilization and practices in head and neck reconstructive surgery. : An online questionnaire was organized into seven sections: demographi…

[PURPOSE] We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the outcomes of end-to-side (ETS) anastomosis to the internal jugular vein (IJV) in head and neck free flap reconstruction. Postoperative outcomes of ETS were compared…

[BACKGROUND] The radial forearm flap (RFF) is one of the most commonly used flaps in reconstructive surgery. Split-thickness skin grafting (STSG) has traditionally been used for closure of the forearm. However, full-thickness skin grafting …

The purpose of this study was to compare the three-dimensional (3D) operating exoscope (OE) with the conventional operating microscope (OM) in head and neck reconstruction. A retrospective cohort study was performed including 50 consecutive…

[BACKGROUND] No consensus exists regarding the most effective reconstruction after total laryngectomy with partial pharyngectomy (TLwPP). This study aims to compare different reconstructive techniques (pectoralis major myo-cutaneous flap, P…

The impact of surgery for cerebellar brain metastases in elderly population has been the object of limited studies in literature. Given the increasing burden of their chronic illnesses, the decision to recommend surgery remains difficult. A…

[OBJECTIVE] To determine the oncological outcomes of salvage transoral laser microsurgery (TLM) in the treatment of patients suffering from recurrent laryngeal cancer. [METHODS] PubMed/MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, and Scopus databases were s…

[BACKGROUND] Buried free flaps represent a reconstructive challenge concerning monitoring of vitality, which is fundamental for an early detection of flap failure and prompt surgical salvage. Many flap monitoring techniques have been develo…

The 3D exoscope is a surgical visualization and magnification tool that has been recently introduced in microvascular anastomoses. However, other surgical scenarios, such as transoral surgery which has a limited surgical field visualization…

[OBJECTIVE] To compare the functional outcomes of different reconstructive techniques for circumferential pharyngeal reconstruction. [METHODS] A comprehensive electronic search was performed on PubMed/MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, and Google …

[PURPOSE] To analyze the advantages and disadvantages of a three-dimensional (3D) operating exoscope (OE) in head and neck free flap reconstruction. [METHODS] Twenty-seven consecutive patients (females: 8; mean age: 57.0) were included. Af…

The aim of the present study is to report our preliminary experience with the vastus lateralis myofascial free flap (VLMFF) for tongue reconstruction according to tongue and donor site functional outcomes. Twelve consecutive patients (F: 5;…

[PURPOSE] To assess the feasibility of a high definition 3D exoscope (VITOM) for microsurgery training in a cohort of naïve medical students. [METHODS] Twenty-two consecutive medical students performed a battery of four exercises assessing…

In recent years, lipofilling has established itself as one of the most effective and least invasive techniques to treat connective dystrophy subsequent to radiotherapy. We report the case of a patient diagnosed with intraductal carcinoma of…

The growth of breast cancer cells is under the regulation of hormones, growth factors, and their receptors. In the present study, we have employed a new, sensitive, and specific radioimmunoassay for the direct measurement of insulin recepto…
