Digastric muscle sew-up procedure for the repair of the floor of the mouth following pull-through operation for oral cancers.

Objectives: We report the digastric muscle sew-up procedure for the repair of the floor of the mouth following the pull-through operation for advanced oral cancers.

Methods: Eleven patients with advanced oral cancers (of the tongue in 8 cases and of the floor of the mouth in 3 cases) were retrospectively analyzed. One-third glossectomy and hemiglossectomy were performed in 4 patients each; the other 3 patients underwent tumor resection on the floor of the mouth.

Endoscopic sinus surgery for the treatment of organized hematoma of the maxillary sinus.

Organized hematoma is a benign and non-neoplastic lesion, however, differential diagnosis from neoplastic diseases is always problematic, and patients are often forced to sustain excessive surgical invasion. We retrospectively studied the characteristics of imaging findings of organized hematoma of the maxillary sinus, and estimated the validity and effectiveness of endoscopic sinus surgery for the treatment of this disease. Three patients (2 men and a woman, ranging in age from 50 to 62 years) with organized hematoma of the maxillary sinus who underwent endoscopic sinus surgery were retrospectively analyzed.
