Objective: This retrospective cohort study aims to compare donor site morbidity of three commonly used upper extremity flaps used in head and neck reconstructive surgery: scapular tip free flap (STFF), radial forearm free flap (RFFF), and pectoralis major pedicled flap (PMPF).
Methods: The billing database of an urban, academic, tertiary otolaryngology practice was queried to identify patients who underwent STFF, RFFF, and PMPF from 2020 to 2023. The primary outcome was identification of donor site pain and need for physical therapy (PT) referral after undergoing reconstruction.
Numerous factors regulate alternative splicing of human genes at a co-transcriptional level. However, how alternative splicing depends on the regulation of gene expression is poorly understood. We leveraged data from the Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) project to show a significant association of gene expression and splicing for 6874 (4.

- The study investigates the impact of different surgical tools on the risk of damage to permanent molars during mandibular distraction osteogenesis (MDO) in infants with micrognathia.
- A total of 11 patients were reviewed, comparing the use of side-cutting burrs and piezoelectric saws for osteotomy, with side-cutting resulting in higher rates of abnormal molar findings (88%).
- The results indicate that using a piezoelectric device significantly reduces the risk of injury to the permanent molars in patients undergoing MDO.
