Laryngotracheal and esophageal functional reconstruction using a single anterolateral thigh flap.

The main goal for treatment of locally advanced thyroid carcinoma invading the laryngotracheal and esophageal complex, is radical surgical excision and reconstruction of a functional aerodigestive tract. We describe a challenging surgical technique in which a wide laryngotracheal and esophageal defect was functionally reconstructed using a single anterolateral thigh flap. This can represent a good option for a tailored functional reconstruction of extended defects of the aerodigestive tract.

Autologous platelet-rich fibrin: a novel method for tracheoesophageal puncture site closure: a case report.

Closure of a tracheoesophageal puncture site performed during voice prosthesis implantation may sometimes be required. Besides local techniques, more elaborate procedures, such as closure by means of free microvascular flaps, have been advocated. In this report, we describe a case of local treatment of a hard-to-heal fistula with local application of autologous platelet-rich fibrin matrix in a 77-year-old male patient.

Early experience in tracheostomy and tracheostomy tube management in Covid-19 patients.

In Italy, we have experienced Europe's first and largest coronavirus outbreak. Based on our preliminary experience, we discuss the challenges in performing tracheotomy and tracheostoma care in the setting of a new pathogen.

Acute Invasive Fungal Rhinosinusitis in Immunocompromised Patients: Role of an Early Diagnosis.

Objective The aims of the present study were to evaluate the clinical significance of the delay for surgical treatment and the prognostic value of other clinical, pathologic, and microbiological variables among hematologic patients affected by acute invasive fungal rhinosinusitis (AIFRS). Furthermore, we propose our early diagnosis and treatment protocol, reporting its 10-year results. Study Design Monocentric retrospective analysis.
