Current role of artificial intelligence in head and neck cancer surgery: a systematic review of literature.
Explor Target Antitumor Ther
October 2023
Aim: Artificial intelligence (AI) is a new field of science in which computers will provide decisions-supporting tools to help doctors make difficult clinical choices. Recent AI applications in otolaryngology include head and neck oncology, rhinology, neurotology, and laryngology. The aim of this systematic review is to describe the potential uses of AI in head and neck oncology with a special focus on the surgical field.

Objective: To describe a clear and intuitive way to analyse the anatomical meaning of images observed in Drug-induced Sleep Endoscopy (DISE) to fully understand the obstructive dynamics and therefore opt for a tailor-made pharyngeal surgical technique.
Methods: From January 2016 to December 2020, 298 patients who underwent DISE were selected according to inclusion criteria.
Results: The case series consisted of 204 males and 94 females with a mean age of 56 years.
Article Synopsis
- This study looked at using a special surgery called modified glossoepiglottopexy to help adults with a sleep problem called obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) caused by the epiglottis collapsing.
- Researchers reviewed data from 49 patients and found that after the surgery, their sleep problems decreased a lot, meaning they had fewer breathing issues while sleeping.
- Overall, the study showed that the surgery was safe and effective, with no patients having trouble swallowing afterward.
Awake Rhinology Surgery in Response to the COVID-19 Pandemic in Europe.

Background: European health-care systems are faced with a backlog of surgical procedures following the suspension of routine surgery during the COVID-19 crisis. Routine rhinology surgery under general anaesthetic (GA) is now faced with significant challenges which include limited theatre capacity, the negative ramifications of surgical prioritization, reduced patient throughput in secondary care, and additional personal protective equipment requirements. Delayed surgery in rhinology, particularly with regards to chronic rhinosinusitis, has previously been shown to have poorer surgical outcomes, a detrimental effect on quality of life and long-term negative health socio-economic effects.

Design: Prospective study.
Setting: Multicentre study.
