Article Abstract
Background: The purpose of this study was to compare surgical outcomes between those patients who underwent open thyroidectomy with and without neck extension.
Methods: One hundred eighty patients were randomized into 2 groups, with neck extension (group I) and without neck extension (group II). Outcomes included pain score on postoperative day 0, day 1, and the first clinic visit, operating time, blood loss, recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) injury, and hypoparathyroidism.
Results: Pain scores in group II were significantly lower on postoperative day 1 (2.38 vs 3.08; p = .022) and at the first clinic visit (0.57 vs 0.78; p = .026). There was a significant direct correlation between degree of neck extension and pain score on day 1 (p = .159 and p = .033). Other outcomes seemed comparable. However, the overall RLN injury rate was not significantly different between the 2 groups (5.3% vs 2.0%; p = .212).
Conclusion: Compared to group I, pain on postoperative day 1 and at the first visit in group II were significantly less, but both groups had similar overall RLN injury rate.

Orthognathic surgery-related condylar resorption in patients with skeletal class III malocclusion versus class III malocclusion: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
BMC Oral Health
January 2025
School of Dentistry, Complutense University of Madrid, Madrid, 28040, Spain.
Background: Orthodontic-orthognathic treatment is the standard of care for moderate and/or severe skeletal class III (SCIII) malocclusion. Following orthognathic surgery, morphological changes in the temporomandibular joint structures (TMJ) may contribute to condylar resorption (CR).
Objectives: This systematic review aimed to identify the morphological signs of condylar resorption (changes in the condylar head, position, neck, disk, and joint space) following orthognathic surgery in patients with SCIII compared with those with skeletal class II (SCII) malocclusion.
Cervical Retrieval of Giant Posterior Mediastinal Parathyroid Adenoma with Bizarre Morphology.

Department of Pathology, Izmir Katip Celebi University, Ataturk Training and Research Hospital, Izmir, Türkiye.
Parathyroid adenoma is the most common cause of primary hyperparathyroidism and rarely reaches huge sizes. As the gland enlarges it may exhibit atypical morphology and extension to the mediastinum which may complicate the excision of the tumor while preserving the capsular integrity. We present a 35-year-old male patient who was referred to our department with a complaint of severe hypercalcemia.

Study Design: Retrospective cohort study.
Objective: To (1) determine whether preoperative neck pain improves after laminoplasty for cervical myelopathy and identify factors that could predict improvements in neck pain.
Methods: A total of 88 patients with preoperative neck pain visual analogue scale (VAS) of ≥4, who underwent laminoplasty for cervical myelopathy, and were followed-up for >2 years were retrospectively reviewed.
Background: Emergency Front of Neck access eFONA) via cricothyroidotomy using a size 6 internal diameter tracheal tube is recommended by the Difficult Airway Society in the event of a 'can't intubate, can't oxygenate' (CICO) scenario in adults. There is a lack of clear guidance on whether to retain or remove a previously inserted supraglottic airway device (SAD) before eFONA. We aimed to study the effect of both neck extension and insertion of an SAD on sagittal cricothyroid membrane (CTM) height.
