Objectives: Several devices have been developed to improve head and neck surgery. 3D exoscopes provide surgeons a viable alternative to microscopes. We propose our setting for transoral exoscopic oropharyngeal (TOEOS) and transoral exoscopic laryngeal surgery (TOELS).

Detecting early-stage lesions in this anatomical region is crucial for achieving a high survival rate. However, it poses significant diagnostic challenges owing to the varied appearance of lesions and the need for precise characterization for appropriate clinical management.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFObjective: This systematic review evaluates the efficacy and morbidity of transnasal endoscopic nasopharyngectomy as a salvage treatment for advanced-stage recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma (rNPC).
Methods: Following PRISMA guidelines, we conducted a systematic search in Medline, Scopus, and PubMed, identifying studies on transnasal endoscopic nasopharyngectomy for rNPC. Inclusion criteria encompassed histologically confirmed rT3 and rT4 NPC patients previously treated with radiotherapy or chemoradiotherapy.
Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis: comparing in-office and operating room treatments.
Acta Otorhinolaryngol Ital
August 2024
Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on a new way to treat a disease called recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP) using both office visits and general anesthesia.
- They compared how well patients felt after treatment between those using the new method and those who only had general anesthesia before.
- Results showed that patients treated in the office had a better quality of life and fewer healthcare costs after a year of treatment.
Article Synopsis
- - Melanoma of the external auditory canal (EAC) is rare and poorly understood, with this systematic review analyzing 30 patient cases to provide insights on management and survival, adhering to PRISMA 2020 guidelines.
- - The review finds that Breslow thickness's influence on surgical decisions is unclear due to insufficient data, and both sentinel lymph node biopsy and adjuvant therapies are rarely used, highlighting the need for standardized treatment protocols.
- - Overall, patients show a 50% survival rate at 5 years, indicating that EAC melanoma is an aggressive cancer, with surgical options like wide local excision and lateral temporal bone resection as primary treatments for those without metastatic disease.
