Postparotidectomy sialocele: 6-year review of underlying factors.

Background: Postparotidectomy sialocele is a frustrating challenge. Published rates of postparotidectomy fluid collections range from 6% to 39%. We report our experience of 398 parotidectomies performed over a 6-year period.

Outcome in Patients with Partial and Full-Thickness Cheek Defects following Free Flap Reconstruction-A Multicentric Analysis of 47 Cases.

The objective of this study was to evaluate whether the extent of tumor resection and free flap reconstruction influences functional outcome and complications in patients with solid malignancies of the cheek. Therefore, we retrospectively assessed recipient site complications and functional outcomes in 47 patients with solid malignancies of the cheek who underwent either partial ( = 30; 63.8%) or full-thickness ( = 17; 36.

Detection of Cerebrospinal Fluid Leaks: Is There a Radiologic Standard of Care? A Systematic Review.

Introduction: Diagnosis of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks traditionally involves laboratory testing of markers and appropriate imaging. Surgical localization can be difficult, and the inability to accurately localize skull base defects leads to increased rates of repair failure and complications. Many imaging techniques localizing and identifying CSF leaks have been proposed.
