Resolution of Iatrogenic Spinal Accessory Neuropathy Following Delayed Surgical Intervention.

We present an interesting case of a 74-year-old female who presented with spinal accessory neuropathy following an ipsilateral right-sided carotid endarterectomy 6 months after the initial injury. Subsequent surgical exploration revealed a surgical clip that had been placed directly across the spinal accessory nerve. Clip removal and neurolysis was subsequently performed, leaving the nerve intact.

Systematic Review of the Profunda Artery Perforator Free Flap for Head and Neck Reconstruction.

Objective: The profunda artery perforator (PAP) flap has gained popularity in head and neck reconstruction with a favorable donor site providing a relatively hidden scar and the ability to harvest a large amount of pliable tissue with consistent vascular anatomy. The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of this PAP flap in head and neck reconstruction.

Total Laryngeal Transplant in the Setting of Active Laryngeal Malignancy.

Laryngeal transplant (LT) is a promising option to restore quality of life in patients with severe laryngeal dysfunction or a laryngectomy. These patients may be tracheostomy tube dependent or gastrostomy tube dependent and may lose their ability to verbally communicate. The loss of these important functions frequently results in social isolation and a severe decrease in quality of life.

Transoral Robotic Surgery for Eagle Syndrome: A Systematic Review.

Transoral robotic surgery (TORS) is gaining popularity and has been introduced for the treatment of Eagle syndrome. This review aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of TORS for the treatment of Eagle syndrome. A systematic review of the English language literature using multiple databases was completed for studies describing TORS for Eagle syndrome.

Systematic review of the free thoracodorsal artery perforator flap for head and neck reconstruction.

Background: The thoracodorsal artery perforator (TDAP) flap has gained interest as a option for reconstruction of head and neck defects while minimizing donor site morbidity as compared to traditional workhorse flaps. The primary aim of this systematic review is to assess the postoperative outcomes and efficacy of this flap.

Methods: Several databases were screened for relevant citations.
