The Fundamental Role of Multidisciplinary Approach in Complex Head and Neck Pathology: A Case Report of Maxillary Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma.

Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is a rare tumor, with a documented annual incidence ranging from 3 to 4.5 cases per million. It constitutes approximately 1% of all head and neck malignancies and around 10% of salivary gland tumors.

Submandibular Ectopic Parathyroid Adenoma: A Case Report.

Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is a common endocrine disorder characterized by hypercalcemia and elevated or abnormally normal parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels, due to excessive secretion of PTH by 1 or more parathyroid glands. In this report, we discuss the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges posed by ectopic parathyroid adenomas, a rare but atypical presentation of PHPT. We present the case of a 36-year-old female with PHPT due to an ectopic parathyroid adenoma located in the submandibular region.

Cervical Cutaneous Emphysema after Laser Microsurgery for Treatment of Laryngeal Cancer: Case Report.

Laser laryngectomy is a minimally invasive surgical technique that offers advantages such as precise and limited resections, magnification of the surgical field by microscopy, and improved patient outcomes. However, it is not without risks, and intraoperative complications have been reported, including cervical-cutaneous emphysema. This case report presents a rare complication of cervical-cutaneous emphysema after laser laryngectomy occurring in a 57-year-old patient with glottic carcinoma.

Prognostic factors for recurrence in patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma.

Background: The prognostic factors for tumor recurrence and mortality of patients diagnosed with Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma (PTC) with immediate surgery in Colombia has not been reported.

Objective: To retrospectively evaluate the risk factors for recurrence and survival at 10 years in patients with the diagnosis of PTC treated at Fundación Santa Fe deBogota (FSFB).

Methods: A total of 486 patients with thyroid surgery accompanied by medical follow-up were recruited.

Management of Middle Hepatic Vein Injury during Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy: A Case Report.

 Cholecystectomy continues to be the first choice for the treatment of symptomatic cholelithiasis. Especially in patients with acute cholecystitis, a laparoscopic approach has become the standard treatment option. Intraoperative complications of laparoscopic cholecystectomy include: bile duct injury, organ damage, and bleeding due to vascular injury.

Tracheal Bridge for Reconstruction of the Upper Airway in Double Tracheal Stenosis.

Tracheal reconstruction is a complex surgical procedure that requires a well-trained, multidisciplinary team to achieve optimal results. No reviews or case reports involving the use of a healthy tracheal bridge to achieve reconstruction after extensive tracheal resection (greater than 7 cm) are described. We present a clinical case of a patient with double tracheal stenosis secondary to prolonged intubation and tracheostomy for which a healthy, well-vascularized tracheal bridge was used to achieve a tracheal reconstruction without tension.

Early Recognition and Diagnosis of Buried Bumper Syndrome: A Report of Three Cases.

Buried bumper syndrome (BBS) was described as a complication of percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) that occurs when the internal stump of the probe migrates and is located between the gastric wall and the skin. The increase of compression between the internal stump and the external stump of the gastrostomy tube causes pain and the inability to feed. We present the cases of three patients with BBS managed by the metabolic and nutritional support department.
