Objective: This study aims to summarize the clinical characteristics of skull base osteoradionecrosis (ORN) with the internal carotid artery (ICA) involvement and to distill the key surgical techniques that can enhance the protective measures for ICA.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective, observational study over a six-year period from February 2017 to May 2023. We included patients who were diagnosed with osteoradionecrosis with invasion of the internal carotid artery and collected their demographic information, pathology results, complication rates, ect.

Background: There is no consensus regarding the indication for postoperative radiotherapy (PORT) for T1- and T2-classified squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the external auditory canal (EAC) even with negative surgical margins. This study aimed to evaluate whether PORT provides additional benefits for these cases.
Methods: We collected retrospective data from fourteen international hospitals, including resected pT1- and pT2-classified EAC SCC with negative surgical margins.

Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to compare the fractal dimension (FD) and lacunarity of mandibular bone in patients with osteoradionecrosis (ORN) versus those without, using digital panoramic radiographs and ImageJ software for analysis.
- - A total of 25 patients were divided into two groups (14 with ORN and 11 without), and while FD and lacunarity values were similar across groups, certain thresholds were identified that helped differentiate between the two populations.
- - Although the differences in FD and lacunarity were not statistically significant, the effect sizes suggest potential clinical relevance, indicating that these measurements could be useful in evaluating bone health post-radiotherapy.
A critical reflection of radiotherapy on osseous free flaps in mandibular segmental resection and immediate reconstruction in locally advanced oral squamous cell carcinoma: A cohort study.

Charité-Universitätsmedizin Berlin, Corporate Member of Freie Universität Berlin and Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Augustenburger Platz 1, Berlin 13353, Germany.
Background And Purpose: With standard radiotherapy protocols after R0 resection of advanced local oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) and primary reconstruction of segmental defects, a high radiation dose is applied to healthy tissue in autologous microvascular free flaps. Considering the potential consequences of flap complications and associated surgeries for patients, data is lacking on whether postoperative radiotherapy (PORT) of the flap volume is indicated at all.
Materials And Methods: Patients with segmental mandibular resection and immediate reconstruction with osseous free flaps due to advanced OSCC between 2012 and 2022 were analyzed retrospectively regarding overall (OS), disease-free survival (DFS), local failure-free survival (LFFS), the need for secondary surgeries as well as flap complications and compared between patients with and without PORT in a matched-pair approach with occurrence of flap complications as a primary endpoint.
