Surgical Outcomes Following Neoadjuvant‐Targeted Therapy for Advanced Differentiated Thyroid Cancer—Real‐World Data Open
Background Differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) is typically managed surgically with favourable outcomes. However, surgery may have dire consequences when the tumour invades critical structures. Neoadjuvant therapy with tyrosine kinase i…

Early outcomes of osteofascial versus osteocutaneous fibula free flap mandibular reconstruction Open
Background This study compares early outcomes of osteofascial fibula free flap (OF‐FFF) with donor‐site primary closure and osteocutaneous (OC) FFF with donor‐site skin grafting in segmental mandibular reconstruction. Methods A retrospecti…

Mutated TP53 in Circulating Tumor DNA as a Risk Level Biomarker in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma Patients Open
Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) has been suggested as a surrogate biomarker for early detection of cancer recurrence. We aimed to explore the utility of ctDNA as a noninvasive prognostic biomarker in newly diagnosed head and neck squamous ce…

Functional outcome following intracapsular resection of head and neck peripheral nerve sheath tumors: A retrospective cohort Open
Background Intracapsular resection of head and neck peripheral nerve sheath tumors (PNST) has emerged as a nerve-preserving technique compared to en bloc resection. The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the functional outcome o…

The effect of septal deviation on postoperative quality of life in patients undergoing radiofrequency‐assisted turbinate reduction Open
Objectives Inferior turbinate hypertrophy (ITH) and nasal septum deviation are leading causes of chronic nasal obstruction. Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of hypertrophic inferior turbinates is effective for improving quality of life (QOL).…

The incidence of postoperative re-stratification for recurrence in well-differentiated thyroid cancer—a retrospective cohort study Open
We report a 15% rate of postoperative risk escalation of patients who required completion thyroidectomy according to current ATA guidelines. In our opinion, this rate of postoperative WDTC upscaling of risk requiring more radical surgery t…

A Prospective Evaluation of Quality of Life in Patients Undergoing Extended Endoscopic Endonasal Surgery for Benign Pituitary Gland Lesion Open
Introduction Endoscopic endonasal surgery (EES) has become the preferred approach for pituitary tumor resection. Nevertheless, research on quality of life related to pituitary adenoma surgery is scarce. Objective The aim of the study is to…

Lateral Neck Dissection for Well-Differentiated Thyroid Carcinoma: Is Prophylactic Level V Neck Dissection Necessary? A Retrospective Cohort Study Open
Objective: The presence of clinically detectable papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) metastases in the lateral neck is an indication for neck dissection (ND) and thyroidectomy. Although there is a consensus regarding the importance of therap…

The Role of Imaging in the Preoperative Assessment of Patients with Nasal Obstruction and Septal Deviation—A Retrospective Cohort Study Open
Introduction Isolated nasal obstruction (INO) is a common complaint of multiple etiology. The preoperative evaluation of patients presenting with nasal obstruction and deviated nasal septum (DNS) does not typically include imaging. The ben…

Assessment of the Rate of Skip Metastasis to Neck Level IV in Patients With Clinically Node-Negative Neck Oral Cavity Squamous Cell Carcinoma Open
This meta-analysis showed very low rates of skip metastasis to neck level IV in patients diagnosed with cN0 OCSCC. Encountering an allegedly positive lymph node during neck dissection does not portend high rates of level IV involvement. Su…
