Peroperative Cooling in Rhinoplasty: Does it Differ?

The main causes of ecchymosis and edema are osteotomy (bone manipulation), dissection of subcutaneous tissue, and skin manipulation in the rhinoplasty procedure. Eyelid edema following surgery can potentially affect visual acuity, particularly during the initial twenty-four hours after the procedure. These may also delay the patient's return to their normal social life therefore hampering their quality of life.

The Comparison of Electroacoustic and Subjective Voice Quality in Type 3 and 4 Transoral Laser Cordectomy for Early-Stage Glottic Carcinoma.

One of the main issues in early-stage glottic carcinoma management is the voice quality following different types of treatment modalities. In type 3 and 4 transoral laser cordectomies, the voice outcomes can show significant differences due to the extent of the vocal muscle resection. This study aims to compare the voice quality in patients who underwent type 3 and 4 laser cordectomy for early-stage glottic carcinoma.

Orbital abscess a rare complication after bichectomy surgery.

Bichectomy is the partial removal of the Bichat's fat pad for the aim of smoothing the facial contour. The complications of bichectomy include soft tissue infections, hematoma, facial paralysis (especially buccal branch paralysis), stenon canal injuries and related complications such as sialocele and sialoadenitis, however these are not common complications in clinical practice. Here we report a case of a 29-year-old white female with a right sided orbital abscess following bichectomy.

The use of chimeric-superthin anterolateral thigh flap in reconstruction of laryngopharyngoesophagectomy defects of hypopharyngeal cancer.

Introduction: Due to 3D defects after resection of hypopharyngeal cancers, free flaps have become as first option for reconstruction and the anterolateral thigh flap (ALT) has been chosen frequently for soft tissue defects. Chimerization of the skin island of the ALT is also possible which can result in reconstruction of multiple defects simultaneously and monitorization of buried flaps. However, ALT can be bulky in some patients.

Methods: Seventeen patients who underwent TLM for supraglottic laryngeal cancer were included in the study.

Long-term swallowing outcomes of radiotherapy and transoral laser microsurgery for T1 glottic cancer treatment.

Introduction: Both CO2 transoral laser microsurgery (CO2 TOLMS) and radiotherapy (RT) are standard of care in early glottic carcinoma. However, previous studies focus on voice outcomes rather than swallowing outcomes. This study aimed to compare the late post-treatment effects of CO2 TOLMS and RT treatment on swallowing function in T1 glottic carcinoma.

A Case with Thyroid Cartilage Fracture after Sneezing.

Non-traumatic laryngeal injuries are unusual occasions. In the medical literature we found only six reports of cases that had laryngeal injury after sneezing. We report a case of a 34-year-old man diagnosed with thyroid cartilage fracture after a strong sneeze.

Delayed Reconstruction with Full-Thickness Skin Grafts Following Defect Size Reduction in Head and Neck Nonmelanoma Skin Cancer.

Different treatment modalities have been applied for nonmelanoma skin cancers (NMSCs) of the head and neck area. One of the most important points after surgical treatment is the selection of appropriate reconstruction methods. The aim of this study is to investigate the efficacy and feasibility of the use of both defect size reduction with sutures and secondary healing with delayed reconstruction with full-thickness skin grafts in NMSC patients.

Orbital complications of pediatric rhinosinusitis: A single institution report.

Background And Objectives: Rhinosinusitis is one of the most common infections of childhood. Rhinosinusitis usually limits itself in the pediatric age group, however orbital and intracranial complications may arise in some of the patients. The purpose of the study was to retrospectively analyse the previous treatments and outcomes in pediatric rhinosinusitis patients with orbital complications.

The Comparative Analysis of Suture versus Linear Stapler Pharyngeal Closure in Total Laryngectomy: A Prospective Randomized Study.

Objective: The aim of this study was to prospectively evaluate and compare the outcomes in patients undergoing pharyngeal closure with the linear stapler and suture techniques after total laryngectomy.

Methods: Forty-one patients who needed total laryngectomy for laryngeal cancer were enrolled in the study. Patients were randomized into two groups according to the pharyngeal closure technique: the linear stapler group (Group A) and the suture closure group (Group B).

Sublingual Lymph Node Metastasis in Early-Stage Floor of the Mouth Carcinoma.

Metastasis to the sublingual lymph nodes is very rare in oral cavity cancers. We present an early-stage floor of the mouth (FOM) cancer case with metastasis to the sublingual lymph node. Even though the rate of metastatic sublingual lymph nodes is low, the uncommon presence of sublingual lymph node metastasis in an early-stage FOM cancer case raises the question of routine FOM dissection.
