Introduction: A growing amount of evidence points at lymph node yield (LNY) and lymph node ratio (LNR) as useful indicators in the prognostic evaluation of patients affected by head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) who require neck dissection. The aim of this study was to assess the importance of LNY and LNR in the prognostic evaluation of head and neck cancer patients.
Materials And Methods: Included studies were those examining LNY and/or LNR in head and neck cancer patients.

Prostheses for extended total temporomandibular joint replacement (eTJR) include modifications to the traditional alloplastic fossa-condyle joint that extend to adjacent bone defects. The aim of this retrospective study was to assess the feasibility, postoperative complications, and functional and aesthetic outcomes after eTJR. Patients aged ≥18 years undergoing eTJR between 2013 and 2022 were included.

- The study investigated the impact of standing electric scooters on maxillofacial injuries in Italy, collecting data from 10 maxillofacial surgery departments over a three-year period from January 2020 to December 2023.
- A total of 79 patients were analyzed, with an average age of 31; notable findings included that 19% had elevated blood alcohol levels and only one patient wore a helmet during the accident.
- The most common injuries were fractures in the middle third of the face, particularly the orbito-malar-zygomatic complex and multifocal mandibular fractures, highlighting the complex nature of injuries and high likelihood of post-surgical complications.
Background: Reconstructing cranio-maxillo-facial defects presents significant challenges. This study evaluates the results of polyetheretherketone patient-specific implants (PEEK PSIs) in primary and secondary cranio-maxillo-facial reconstructions, with a focus on aesthetic and functional outcomes and long-term complications.
Methods: From October 2009 to February 2023, 45 patients underwent cranio-maxillo-facial reconstructions with PSIs.

Article Synopsis
- * They reviewed 125 patients who had surgery for eye problems and found that most complications were not very high, at about 11.2%.
- * Most patients felt their appearance after surgery was really good, with 80.4% saying they were "excellent," showing that careful planning can help achieve better results.
