The Unseen Strain: Investigating the Awareness of Rhinoplasty Surgeons Regarding Their Spine Health.

Background: Musculoskeletal pain is a common occupational health problem among surgeons that can affect work productivity and quality of life.

Objectives: The aim of the study was to investigate the prevalence and causes of back pain among rhinoplasty surgeons, evaluate their routine practice, and identify unique risk factors. A further goal was to measure functional disabilities with the Total Disability Index (TDI) questionnaire.

The implications of concomitant mucosal inflammation on clinical manifestations and outcomes of sinonasal inverted papilloma.

Purpose: This study examines the impact of concomitant mucosal inflammation on clinical manifestations and long-term outcomes of Inverted Papilloma (IP).

Methods: This retrospective cohort study was conducted in five tertiary medical centers. The included patients underwent an attachment-oriented surgical resection for IP with a minimum follow-up of 3 years.

Qualitative Interview Study of Gynecologic Oncologist Utilization of Recommended Same-Day Discharge Following Minimally Invasive Hysterectomy.

Recent investigations have supported the safety and benefits of discharging women on the same day following a minimally invasive hysterectomy (MIH) for both benign and malignant indications. Not all eligible candidates for same-day discharge (SDD) are discharged the same day, and patients undergoing an MIH for malignant indications have decreased the odds of receiving SDD despite established safety. The objective of this study was to use qualitative interviews to explore physician decision making regarding SDD after an MIH for malignant indications.

Utilization of Free Soft Tissue Grafts in Otoplasty: A Simple Yet Effective Way to Avoid Suture Extrusion.

Background: Prominent ear deformity occurs in 5% of the general population and has been treated by otoplasty for many years to address the psychosocial challenges of having such a deformity. There is extensive literature but no consensus on the best method to address potential surgical complications, including suture extrusion.

Objectives: The aim of this article was to describe a surgical technique designed to reduce suture extrusion following otoplasty surgery by placing free soft tissue grafts between Mustardé sutures and postauricular skin.

Is intraoperative margin sampling necessary in inverted papilloma resection?

Purpose: To explore the association between intraoperative surgical margin sampling by the frozen sections and recurrence in inverted papilloma surgery.

Methods: A multicenter, retrospective study of patients who underwent attachment-oriented IP resection in four tertiary care medical centers with a minimal follow-up of 36 months.

Results: The study included 220 surgeries with a mean follow-up period of 49 months (range 36-204).
