Objective and automated facial palsy grading and outcome assessment after facial palsy reanimation surgery - A prospective observational study.

Background: Facial palsy (FP) is a widespread condition affecting over 3 million people annually, with a complex etiology requiring tailored, multidisciplinary management. Despite advancements, there remains a lack of reliable, automated tools for objective pre- and postoperative assessment, limiting progress in treatment optimization. This study introduces the AI Research Metrics Model (CAARISMA ® ARMM) to evaluate FP severity and outcomes following microsurgical gracilis muscle transfer.

Lower Total Shoulder Arthroplasty Cost of Care at an Ambulatory Surgical Center Versus a Main Hospital.

Introduction: Total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) is an increasingly common orthopaedic procedure. Expansion of TSA to outpatient surgical settings has the potential to reduce costs, although there is limited research on the cost and efficiency of this shift in surgical site of care. The purpose of this study is to compare costs and efficiency of TSA between an ambulatory surgical center (ASC) and a hospital.

Tumor budding and lymphovascular invasion as prognostic factors in p16-positive oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinomas.

Background: We aimed to validate the prognostic significance of tumor budding (TB) in p16-positive oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinomas (OPSCC).

Methods: We analyzed digitized H&E-stained slides from a multicenter cohort of five large university centers consisting of n = 275 cases of p16-positive OPSCC. We evaluated TB along with other histological parameters (morphology, tumor-stroma-ratio, lymphovascular invasion (LVI), perineural invasion) and calculated survival outcomes using both univariate and multivariate analyses.

Therapeutic Outcomes in 691 Angiosarcomas of the Head and Neck-A Retrospective SEER Study.

Angiosarcomas (AS) are an aggressive subtype of head and neck tumors. Current outcome research is limited to single-surgeon and/or single-institution data. This study analyzes the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results program (SEER) database data to improve outcomes of head and neck AS.

Risk factors and outcomes after surgery for malignant neoplasm of the parotid gland: An ACS-NSQIP study.

Background: Malignant neoplasms of the parotid gland (MPG) are clinically challenging due to aggressive growth and metastasis. Despite tumor resection being the primary treatment, there is a paucity of studies on postsurgical outcomes and preoperative risk factors for MPG.

Materials And Methods: We queried the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database to identify patients who underwent MPG surgery between 2008 and 2021.
