Lymph node metastasis in level IIb neck dissection for clinically node-negative oral squamous cell carcinoma patients: an 11-year retrospective study.

The most common complication associated with selective neck dissection is spinal accessory nerve dysfunction and shoulder disability, which result from level IIb dissection. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the incidence of level IIb lymph node metastasis in clinically node-negative (cN0) oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) patients. Patients presenting with cN0 OSCC between November 2012 and November 2023 were included retrospectively.

The necessity of level IIb dissection for clinically negative neck oral squamous cell carcinoma.

Aim: Selective neck dissection reduces the incidence of complications associated with radical neck dissection while achieving the same oncological results, especially in clinically node-negative (cN0) cases. The most common complications associated with selective neck dissection are spinal accessory nerve dysfunction and shoulder disability, which result from level IIb dissection. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the incidence of level IIb lymph node metastasis in cN0 oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) patients to determine the necessity of selective neck surgery.

Current status of surgical planning and transfer methods in orthognathic surgery.

Since the advent of orthognathic surgery major efforts have been made to render these surgical procedures more reliable, accurate, reproducible, and shorter. Such improvements imply the enhancement of surgical planning (SP) techniques and optimization of SP transfer tools. Most widespread current SP methods are based on physical examination/anthropometric measurements combined with cephalometric analysis.

[Development of the facial feminization surgery patient's satisfaction questionnaire (QESFF1): Qualitative phase].

Objective: Facial feminization surgery is becoming a more frequently requested procedure in transsexual male to female patients transformation. A global way of reporting outcomes data and showing the beneficial impact of this specific procedure is necessary. The objective of this study is to develop a reliable and valid tool to report patients' outcomes after facial feminization surgery.

The Horizontal Myocutaneous Infrahyoid Island Flap for Soft-Tissue Head and Oral Reconstruction: Step-by-Step Video Description.

Unlabelled: A clinical case is presented of a 70-year-old woman suffering from a right hemilingual epidermoid carcinoma. A step-by-step video description of the regional infrahyoid island flap is presented and narrated. Long-term results at 2 months in terms of aesthetics and function at the recipient and donor sites are excellent.

[Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans: Surgical margins using Slow-Mohs micrographic surgery. A clinical retrospective study about 20 cases].

Objectives: The main objective of this study is to determine the necessary surgical margins to obtain a complete R0 resection for head and neck dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) using Slow-Mohs micrographic surgery. The secondary objective is to study the recurrence rate of these tumors.

Patients And Methods: Slow-Mohs micrographic surgery was used for patients included between 2005 and 2015 at Bordeaux universitary hospital.

[Superficial ulnar artery: Case report].

The anatomical variations of arterial axes of the upper limb are not uncommon and must be known to allow for safe surgical procedures and in order to limit the morbidity of these procedures. The superficial ulnar artery represents, after the variations in origin of the radial artery, the second most frequent variation in this area. When present, reconstructive procedures may be modified, especially when harvesting forearm free flaps, in order to choose this vessel as nourishing pedicle.

[When should an orthoptic evaluation be prescribed in the management of orbital floor fracture? A prospective study of 47 fractures].

Introduction: We evaluated the indication of orthoptic evaluation for the management of orbital floor fractures in a prospective series.

Material And Method: Forty-seven patients presenting with an orbital floor fracture were included in our prospective study. Consultations in orthoptics and maxillo-facial surgery were regularly carried out.

[Composite midfacial flap vascularized by the facial artery: a preliminary anatomic study].

Introduction: Extended facial tissue defects are difficult to reconstruct because of the anatomical and functional complexity of the area. Recently, composite facial allotransplantation was used for reconstruction. This could be performed because of specific facial blood supply and its facial and maxillary anastomoses.
