Intraoperative Neuromonitoring Does Not Reduce the Risk of Temporary and Definitive Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve Damage during Thyroid Surgery: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Endoscopic Findings from 73,325 Nerves at Risk.

Background: While intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) helps the early identification of recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) damage, IONM's role in RLN damage prevention is not defined, given the lack of large studies on the subject.

Methods: In a PRISMA-compliant framework, all original thyroid surgery prospective studies providing early postoperative endoscopic data for all patients were pooled in a random-effects meta-analysis. We compared the temporary (and definitive where available) RLN damage rates according to IONM use and IONM type (intermittent, I-IONM, or continuous, C-IONM).

Radiation-Induced Oropharyngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma: Case Report and Review of the Literature.

Background: Radiation therapy (RT) is a mainstay for the treatment of head and neck (HN) cancers, with 80% of patients receiving such treatment. Radiation-induced malignancies represent a life-threatening long-term effect of RT, with an incidence of 0.5% to 15%.

Erythema Multiforme Major following SARS-CoV-2 vaccine.

Erythema multiforme major, an immune-mediated skin reaction to infections or medications with oral involvement, should be taken into account as a potential side effect of several vaccines, including SARS-CoV-2. Correct patient history collection allows prompt recognition and subsequent successful medical management with oral corticosteroids.
