Standard treatments include anti-epileptic drugs and surgical interventions, but many patients experience limited relief or adverse effects. Non-invasive therapies, such as transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), have emerged as alternative options.

Objectives: This study investigates the clinical and patient-reported outcomes of full-endoscopic parotidectomy compared to the conventional approach.

Methods: Between July 2021 and December 2023, patients who underwent parotidectomy were prospectively enrolled and assigned to either the full-endoscopic parotidectomy group (Group I) or the conventional surgery group (Group II). Clinical outcomes were evaluated, and patient-reported outcomes were assessed using a Visual Analogue Scale and five FACE-Q scales.

Article Synopsis
  • This study examined how the volume of operative vaginal deliveries (OVDs) at hospitals in California from 2008 to 2020 affects adverse outcomes for both birthing individuals and newborns.
  • It categorized hospital OVD volume into low (less than 5.2%), medium (5.2%-7.4%), and high (7.4% or more), finding that lower volume hospitals had a higher incidence of complications such as obstetric anal sphincter injuries and adverse neonatal outcomes.
  • The research utilized extensive data from birth certificates and hospital records to analyze trends, highlighting the need for improvements in obstetric care based on hospital performance.
