[Thrombosis of sewn vs. coupled anastomoses in microvascular head and neck reconstructions].

Objective: The Anastomotic Coupling Device for microvascular anastomoses has become widely used in free tissue transplantation. This study compares the thrombosis rate and flap failure as a function of the anastomosis technique at a large head and neck cancer center.

Material And Methods: Retrospective analysis of all patients receiving free flap reconstructions in the period 2001-2019.

Cold Atmospheric Plasma: A Promising Complementary Therapy for Squamous Head and Neck Cancer.

Head and neck squamous cell cancer (HNSCC) is the 7th most common cancer worldwide. Despite the development of new therapeutic agents such as monoclonal antibodies, prognosis did not change for the last decades. Cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) presents the most promising new technology in cancer treatment.

Primary surgical treatment of T2 oropharyngeal carcinoma.

Background: The optimal management of oropharyngeal carcinoma (OPC) is not yet proven. The aim of this study is to analyze the outcome of primary surgical management of T2 cancers of the oropharynx.

Methods: All patients treated with primary surgery for pT2 OPCs between 1984 and 2005 were evaluated retrospectively.
