Background: Frontal sinus cranialization with closure via bifrontal pericranial flaps is the gold standard for separating the nasofrontal recess from the intracranial cavity for posterior table defects. Despite the high success rate, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak may persist and is particularly challenging when vascularized reconstructive options from the bicoronal incision are exhausted.
Objective: To assess a novel endonasal technique using an adipofascial radial forearm free flap delivered to the frontal recess through a Draf sinusotomy to repair complex CSF leaks from the frontal sinus.
Article Synopsis
- * It analyzes data from 2676 patients, comparing those who received PPAs (31.7%) against those who didn't, with outcomes including surgical revision, local infection, and osteomyelitis.
- * The results indicate that PPAs do not significantly improve postoperative outcomes, regardless of whether the repair was open or closed.
Computer-Aided Rhinoplasty Using a Novel "navigated" Nasal Osteotomy Technique: A Pilot Study.
Ann Otol Rhinol Laryngol
October 2021
Objective: To describe the surgical technique of navigation-guided nasal osteotomies and assess feasibility of this technique for treating complex nasal bone deformities in reconstructive rhinoplasty.
Methods: A retrospective chart review was performed in order to identify patients who underwent computer-aided rhinoplasty from August 2014 to February 2017. Inclusion criteria were nasal bone deformities on computed-tomography (CT) that correlated with specific nasal complaints.
Objective: To assess the reliability and construct validity of the Penetration-Aspiration Scale in children.
Study Design: This was a retrospective cohort study of pre- and postoperative video modified barium swallow studies from children who underwent interarytenoid injection augmentation for unexplained persistent pharyngeal dysphagia. Two pediatric speech and language pathologists reviewed each study twice in a blinded and randomized fashion.
Objectives: To determine the proportion and relative advancement of women in leadership positions at high-impact otolaryngology journals.
Methods: Nine clinical otolaryngology journals were selected based on high impact factor and subspecialty representation (journal impact factor, 2016: 1.16-2.
