Background: The prognostic significance of close margins in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is controversial. We wished to investigate the impact of close margins on the risk of local recurrence (LR) in OSCC according to the oral subsite.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study of 342 OSCC patients undergoing primary surgical treatment was conducted.
Background: Preoperative radiological findings of hypopharyngeal cancers are used to determine suitability for surgical resection. We sought to examine preoperative imaging characteristics to determine how well imaging findings predicted surgical resectability.
Methods: A retrospective case-control study of patients undergoing a pharyngolaryngectomy in a tertiary referral center over a 2-year period was completed.
Ankyloglossia, or tongue-tie, is a variation in the anatomy of the lingual frenulum that restricts tongue movement. It is recognised as a cause of breastfeeding difficulty. We prospectively collected data from a specialist tongue-tie assessment clinic and evaluated mothers' experience using a questionnaire.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in assessing features of T4a disease in locally advanced laryngeal cancer and determine if primary site played a role in the accuracy of MRI in this setting.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study of patients undergoing a total laryngectomy in a tertiary referral center for head and neck cancer over a 10-year time period was carried out.

Article Synopsis
- Tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy (AT) are common ENT procedures for children, performed over 500,000 times a year in the U.S., and while generally safe, they carry risks like bleeding and pain.
- Tranexamic acid (TXA) has been shown to reduce bleeding in various surgical settings, but its effectiveness and safety in pediatric AT haven't been thoroughly reviewed until now.
- A systematic review of existing literature was conducted, analyzing eight studies involving 1,315 pediatric patients to assess the efficacy and safety of using TXA for reducing bleeding during tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy.
