Node Count as a Quality Indicator in Surgically Treated Mucosal Head and Neck Squamous Cell Cancer.

Introduction: A yield of ≥18 nodes from neck dissection has been shown to be associated with improved locoregional recurrence rates and survival. We sought to determine factors associated with lymph node yields below this threshold.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective review of patients who underwent neck dissection as part of definitive surgical treatment for mucosal head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) between January 2015 and December 2018 at an academic tertiary referral center was performed.

The Association of Zygomaticomaxillary Complex Fractures with Naso-Orbitoethmoid Fractures in Pediatric Populations.

Background: Naso-orbitoethmoid fractures associated with ipsilateral zygomaticomaxillary complex fractures are more challenging injuries than zygomaticomaxillary complex fractures alone. However, there is a paucity of information on this complex fracture pattern in the pediatric population. This study investigated the cause, treatment, and outcomes of combined zygomaticomaxillary complex and naso-orbitoethmoid fractures versus isolated zygomaticomaxillary complex fractures in pediatric patients.
