Complete Platysma Muscle Suspension in Deep Plane Facelift Surgery.

Deep plane facelift surgery is not new, having originally been described over 30 years ago, however the technique has seen a recent surge in popularity. While proponents emphasize its ability to deliver very natural results, critics often cite the possibility of additional risk of the procedure due to its technically challenging dissection in proximity to branches of the facial nerve and other critical structures. These risks are perhaps greatest when operating in what have historically been described as the "danger zones," particularly when releasing the zygomatic retaining ligaments, when performing the medial deep plane dissection in the midface, and when extending the platysma flap over the angle of the mandible into the neck.

Facial Implants in Male Rejuvenation.

Many different methods achieve male facial augmentation. Arranged from shorter- to longer-term results, these methods include filler, fat/tissue grafting, fat/tissue transposition, and alloplastic implants. This study solely reviews allografts, which provide the most predictable hard-tissue augmentation.

Pediatric laryngeal cleft repair with coblation: Functional comparison of a novel technique with traditional methods.

Objectives: The traditional endoscopic techniques for surgical management of laryngeal clefts are carbon dioxide (CO) laser or microlaryngeal instruments (cold steel). This study compares the functional efficacy and safety of coblation, or "cold" radiofrequency ablation, to traditional approaches for endoscopic laryngeal cleft repair.

Methods: Patients who underwent endoscopic laryngeal cleft repair with CO laser, cold steel, or coblator at two tertiary academic centers from 2015 to 2021 were retrospectively identified.

Utility of Point-of-Care COVID-19 Testing in an Outpatient Otolaryngology clinic.

Objective: To evaluate the utility of point-of-care COVID-19 testing for identifying infected patients in an otolaryngology practice.

Study Design: Retrospective review of 947 patients tested with a point-of-care nucleic acid amplification test for SARS-CoV-2 (Abbott ID Now).

Setting: Tertiary otolaryngology clinic setting from July to November 2020.

Impact of montelukast and fluticasone on quality of life in mild pediatric sleep apnea.

Objectives: Research has shown improvement in apnea-hypopnea index in children with mild obstructive sleep apnea treated with anti-inflammatory medications. Data on quality of life outcomes in children receiving these medications is lacking. We aim to assess quality of life in children with mild obstructive sleep apnea treated with montelukast and fluticasone.
