Rationale And Objectives: Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) often metastasizes to lateral cervical lymph nodes, especially in level II. This study aims to develop predictive models to identify level II lymph node metastasis (LNM), guiding selective neck dissection (SND) to minimize unnecessary surgery and morbidity in low-risk patients.
Methods: A retrospective cohort of 313 PTC patients who underwent modified radical neck dissection (MRND) between October 2020 and January 2023 was analyzed.

Background/aim: This study evaluated the outcomes of combining submucosal turbinectomy with extensive disruption of the pterygopalatine ganglionic efferent nerve fibers through a minimucosal incision in patients with intractable rhinitis, irrespective of their dependency on the posterior nasal nerve.
Patients And Methods: We describe an endoscopic extended neurectomy procedure performed via a minimucosal pocket. The primary outcome measures included the Total Nasal Symptom Score (TNSS), Visual Analog Scale (VAS) score, and runny nose and nasal obstruction subdomains of the Sino-Nasal Outcome Test-22 (SNOT-22), which were assessed pre-procedure and at 3 and 6 months post-procedure.

Carotid body tumors (CBTs) are rare head and neck paragangliomas that arise from the carotid body chemoreceptor at the common carotid bifurcation. These neoplasms are generally benign, slow-growing, nonsecreting, and well-vascularized. Metastasis occurs in ~5% of cases.

Background: The preservation of olfaction during the surgical resection of anterior skull base meningiomas presents a significant challenge. This study presents a modified endonasal endoscopic L-shaped approach designed to maximize tumor resection while preserving olfaction, a vital function that profoundly impacts the quality of life.
Methods: A cadaveric dissection was conducted to refine the surgical technique, and this approach was subsequently applied to a 34-year-old female patient presenting with a large planum sphenoidale meningioma.

To investigate the clinical value of tympanic membrane repairment with modified ear canal flap under endoscope. A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 62 patients who underwent simple tympanic membrane perforation repair surgery in our hospital from August 2019 to January 2023. All patients were divided into two groups: 37 cases in the otoscopy group and 25 cases in the microscope group.

Objectives: This study aims to improve fenestrated/branched endovascular aortic repair (F/B EVAR) through fabricating physician-modified stent grafts (PMSG) with short bridging stent to treat complex aortic dissection.
Methods: From November 2018 to January 2024, a total of 82 aortic dissection patients were treated by F/B EVAR combined with short bridging stents, including 19 aortic arch dissection patients and 63 thoracoabdominal aortic dissection patients. Inner or outer short bridging stents were applied to fabricate PMSG with the help of 3D-printing models intraoperatively.

Introduction: Sarcomas of the head and neck region account for less than 10% of soft tissue sarcomas, and comprise less than 1% of head and neck malignancies. Approximately 80% of sarcomas arise from soft tissue, with the remaining originating from bone or cartilage. Head and neck sarcomas typically occur more frequently in men.

Background: To explore prognostic factors for early mortality among patients undergoing surgery for oral cavity cancer (OCC) and identify valuable strategies to improve patient outcomes.
Patients And Methods: A total of 397 patients treated by primary tumor resection and neck dissection between 2017 and 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis were used to explore the relationships between the study factors and early death (within 12 months).

This report presents a rare case of direct invasion from a metastatic submandibular lymph node (SMLN) to submandibular gland (SMG) in a resected specimen of neck dissection (ND) of buccal mucosal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). The patient was an 82-year-old woman with a clinical diagnosis of the left buccal mucosal SCC (cT4bN2bM0, Stage IVB). The tracheostomy, modified radical neck dissection, buccal mucosal cancer resection including maxillary partial resection, mandibular segmentectomy, and reconstructive surgery with a plate and a free rectus abdominis flap were performed.
