Moreover, to analyze the predictive effect of various evaluated indicators on the nature, quantities, and ratios of central lymph node metastasis (LNM) in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC), to provide the basis for precise individualized central lymph node dissection (LND).
Methods: According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 1,271 PTC patients were selected in this cohort study.
Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate the one-stage reconstruction of primary or secondary neoplastic defects in the parotid masseter area.
Methods: Fifty-eight cases of soft tissue defects reconstruction caused by tumors in the parotid masseter area from 2014 to 2018 were analyzed. The minimum area of defect was 4 cm × 5 cm, and the maximum area was 12 cm × 12 cm.
Article Synopsis
- Surgery is the primary treatment for tongue cancer, with a focus on immediate reconstruction using radial forearm free (RFF) flaps or anterolateral thigh (ALT) flaps following tumor removal.
- A study analyzed 39 cases from 2014 to 2018, assessing flap survival, functional status post-surgery, and the impact on donor sites; results showed both flap types had high survival rates and similar speech recovery outcomes.
- Recovery of tongue flexibility showed a significant difference, with some patients facing limitations; over half were able to maintain a regular diet post-surgery, and donor area satisfaction remained a point of interest.
