Pediatric Facial Reanimation.

Pediatric facial palsy is rare but severely debilitating and results in profound functional, developmental, psychosocial, and esthetic consequences. Identifying the specific cause of the palsy is important in directing the treatment course. The most common etiologies of pediatric facial palsy are distinct from those of adults.

Trilayer temporalis fascia interposition graft: A reliable technique for nasal septal perforation repair.

Purpose: Nasal septal perforation (NSP) repair is a complex procedure with variable techniques and success rates. In this study we describe NSP repair using a trilayer interposition graft of temporalis fascia and thin polydioxanone (PDS) plate without intranasal flaps and report outcomes in our patient population.

Materials And Methods: IRB-approved retrospective review of 20 consecutive patients presenting to a tertiary medical center with NSP from September 2018 to December 2020 and who underwent NSP repair via our trilayer temporalis fascia interposition graft.

Management, Referral Patterns, and Outcomes in Bell's Palsy: A Single-Institution 903 Patient Series.

Objective: In 2013, the American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery (AAO-HNS) published guidelines for Bell's palsy (BP), including recommendations for workup, management, and specialist referral. Patients with BP often present to primary care; however, adherence to guidelines may vary by setting. This study sought to evaluate the management of patients with BP presenting to primary care, emergency department (ED), and urgent care settings.

The profunda artery perforator flap for head and neck reconstruction.

Introduction: The profunda artery perforator (PAP) fasciocutaneous flap is underutilized in head and neck reconstruction, with advantages including ease of harvest and minimal donor site morbidity.

Methods: Cadaveric dissection of cutaneous perforators to origin at profunda femoris system to characterize vascular anatomy.

Results: 22 PAP flaps were studied.
