Objectives: Tonsillectomy is the most common operation performed by otolaryngologists in the UK, despite this we have a poor understanding of the post-operative recovery. We aimed to investigate post-operative bleeding and pain following paediatric tonsillectomy using a patient diary.
Design: Prospective observational cohort study.
Objectives: Our primary aim was to validate the Liverpool Peritonsillar abscess Score (LPS) externally in a new patient cohort. Our secondary aim was to modify the LPS in the light of the COVID-19 pandemic to produce a no-examination variant for use in this instance.
Design: Prospective multicentre external validation study.
Introduction: Data regarding regionally metastatic cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (cSCCHN) is limited and derived almost exclusively from Australian and United States (US) institutions. We report the first United Kingdom perspective, with the aims of benchmarking survival outcomes and identifying clinically relevant prognosticators.
Materials And Methods: Ninety-one patients with regionally recurrent cSCCHN treated with curative intent over a ten-year period (2009-2018) were studied retrospectively.
Purpose: Seroma/sialocele and haematoma formations following parotidectomy are common complications. Fibrin-sealant tissue glue (FSTG) applied to the surgical bed prior to closure has been used widely to reduce such complications at other surgical sites. We sought to evaluate a potential role in parotidectomy, examining outcomes before and after the use of FSTG was introduced in our department.
