Comparison of Trans-septal Suturing Technique With Polyvinyl Alcohol Sponge-Based Nasal Packing for Hemostasis in Septoplasty.

Introduction Despite the theoretical advantages of bleeding control, there is increased morbidity in postoperative pain, sleep disturbance, allergy, toxic shock syndrome, and mucosal injury with the nasal packing in septoplasty procedure for deviated nasal septum. Trans-septal suturing after septoplasty has been advocated as an effective alternative to conventional nasal packing. The current study aims to compare the frequency of subjective symptoms, such as postoperative nasal pain, nasal bleeding, postnasal drip, sleep disturbance, dysphagia, headache, and epiphora between the trans-septal suturing technique and nasal packing in septoplasty surgery.

Prevalence of Positive Level IIb Lymph Nodes in Tongue Carcinoma: Experience From a Tertiary Care Center in North India.

Introduction Complications during and after dissection of level IIb lymph nodes include spinal accessory nerve (SAN) dysfunction, which results in the limitation of shoulder movements and, thus, hurts the quality of life. The current study aims to know the occurrence of level IIb lymph node positivity in tongue carcinoma. Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted from January 2019 to December 2019 in a tertiary care center in North India.

Acinic cell carcinoma of the parotid gland with neuroendocrine differentiation.

Acinic cell carcinoma (ACC) is a malignant salivary gland tumor characterized by tumor cells displaying acinar features. Usually presenting as a slow-growing tumor, ACC, however, may show dedifferentiation to a higher grade including neuroendocrine carcinoma. In addition, ACC may rarely show focal neuroendocrine differentiation without any frank evidence of neuroendocrine carcinoma.

Thirty proven cases of HNSCC with no palpable neck nodes were selected, requiring surgery for the primary tumour. Detailed clinical evaluation and contrast enhanced computed tomography (CECT) scans were done.
