Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the impact of standing electric scooters on maxillofacial injuries in Italy, collecting data from 10 maxillofacial surgery departments over a three-year period from January 2020 to December 2023.
- A total of 79 patients were analyzed, with an average age of 31; notable findings included that 19% had elevated blood alcohol levels and only one patient wore a helmet during the accident.
- The most common injuries were fractures in the middle third of the face, particularly the orbito-malar-zygomatic complex and multifocal mandibular fractures, highlighting the complex nature of injuries and high likelihood of post-surgical complications.
Objective: The objective of this study is to investigate whether age is a significant risk factor for spinal nerve injury following selective neck dissection (SND) in patients with head and neck cancer.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted on patients who had undergone SND for head and neck cancer at a tertiary hospital between 2020 and 2022. The primary outcome was the incidence of spinal nerve injury after SND.
Purpose: Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OSCC) is characterized by a high aggressiveness and a tendency to metastasize. The management of the neck in cT1-2N0 patients c follows three strategies: watchful waiting, elective neck dissection (END) or sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB). The aim was to assess the viability of intraoperative frozen sections of the nodes of cT1-2N0 to spot occult metastases as an alternative to SLNB, performing a modified radical neck dissection (MRND) in intraoperatively positive patients.
