Results: In our series, 85.
Article Synopsis
- The minimally invasive total laryngectomy (TL) approach aims to reduce recovery complications, especially in patients with prior radiation treatment, and has been demonstrated using the transoral ultrasonic surgery technique (TOUSS).
- Two patients undergoing TL for laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma experienced successful tumor removal with satisfactory functional recovery in swallowing and speech, with no intraoperative complications recorded.
- The research suggests that TOUSS-TL is a feasible, non-robotic alternative to robotic methods, potentially enhancing the adoption of minimally invasive techniques in laryngeal surgeries, with further studies needed to assess long-term outcomes and benefits.
The objective of this study is to describe and evaluate the feasibility of TransOral UltraSonic Surgery (TOUSS), a new endoscopic alternative to transoral robotic surgery for approaching pharyngeal and laryngeal tumours based on ultrasonic scalpel as a resection tool. This is a prospective study on 11 consecutive patients with pharyngeal and supraglottic carcinomas between December 2013 and August 2014. All tumours were resected transorally with 35 cm ThunderbeatTM.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFOssifying fibromas are rare fibro-osseous lesions occurring in maxilla or mandible. However, there have been reports of the lesion developing in nasal bones, paranasal sinus or the eye socket. We describe here a case of ossifying fibroma in the temporal bone with a review of the current literature.
