Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the risk of developing deep venous thromboembolisms (DVT) in patients who undergo an endoscopic endonasal approach (EEA) for skull base surgery, focusing on the impact of postoperative bedrest.
- A review of 221 patients' records revealed that factors like age, sex, body mass index (BMI), bedrest duration, and other surgical variables were not significant predictors of DVT occurrence.
- The conclusion indicates that temporary bedrest after EEA surgery does not contribute to a higher risk of thromboembolic complications in the immediate postoperative period.
Objective: Surgical frailty estimates a patient's ability to withstand the physiologic stress of an intervention. There is limited data regarding the impact of frailty on endoscopic cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak repair.
Methods: Patients undergoing CSF leak repair at two tertiary academic skull base programs were retrospectively reviewed.
Objectives: To evaluate the impact of facility volume on outcomes following primary endoscopic surgical management of sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma (SNSCC).
Methods: The 2010-2016 National Cancer DataBase (NCDB) was queried for patients diagnosed with T1-T4a SNSCC surgically treated endoscopically as the primary treatment modality. Factors associated with overall survival (OS) were evaluated, including facility volume.

Article Synopsis
Objective: Frailty metrics estimate a patient's ability to tolerate physiologic stress and there are limited frailty data in patients undergoing expanded endonasal approaches (EEA) for suprasellar pathologies. Elevated frailty metrics have been associated with increased perioperative complications in patients undergoing craniotomies. We sought to examine this potential relationship in EEA.

Methods: Demographics, clinicopathologic data, and treatment outcomes for patients treated for SL were queried from January 1, 2000 to December 31, 2021 at 2 tertiary academic medical centers.
Introduction: Surfing is a popular pastime in coastal areas around the world with increasing numbers of participants. There is a lack of detailed data in the literature regarding surfing-related head and neck (HN) injuries.
Materials And Methods: We queried the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS) database to characterize patient demographics, injury types, injury subsite, and emergency department (ED) disposition status associated with surfing-related HN injuries between 2009 and 2020 in the United States.
Importance: Data regarding outcomes after major head and neck ablation and reconstruction in the growing geriatric population (specifically ≥80 years of age) are limited. Such information would be extremely valuable in preoperative discussions with elderly patients about their surgical risks and expected functional outcomes.
Objectives: To identify patient and surgical factors associated with 30-day postoperative complications, 90-day mortality, and 90-day functional decline; to explore whether an association exists between the type of reconstructive procedure and outcome; and to create a preoperative risk stratification system for these outcomes.
