In otolaryngology, training often involves simulation in animal specimens, human cadavers, and artificial models to facilitate learning surgical procedures, reducing the time needed to acquire essential skills. Simulated training has become integral to medical education, particularly in microsurgical techniques, such as microlaryngeal surgery. These procedures, also known as phonomicrosurgery, are performed on the vocal folds using microscopic visualization and precision instruments with long shafts and millimetric tips.

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.

Caliber mismatch in microvascular anastomosis can significantly increase procedural difficulty and elevate the risk of thrombosis. A comprehensive literature search in PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar was conducted to identify articles addressing surgical techniques for overcoming caliber mismatch in microvascular anastomosis. Various techniques described in the literature were found: modifications of end-to-end anastomosis, the use of end-to-side anastomosis, the application of vessel grafts and the use of vessel couplers.
