Abstract Objective To summarize current knowledge about the prevalence, etiology and management of recalcitrant laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) patients ‐ those who do not respond to anti‐reflux medical treatment. Methods A literature search was conducted following the PRISMA guidelines to identify studies that reported success of anti‐reflux medical treatment with emphasis on studies that attempted to be rigorous in defining a population of LPR patients and which subsequently explored the...

Objective Age‐based formulas for selecting the appropriate size of tracheostomy tubes in children are based on data on tracheal dimensions. This study aims to measure the tracheal dimensions of Indian children by computerized tomography (CT) and to compare this with the dimensions of age‐appropriate tracheostomy tubes. Methods CT scans of children aged less than 16 years that were taken for indications other than respiratory distress were included. Tracheal diameters at the tracheostomy point...

Purpose of review This article reviewed studies that support the use of implants for nasal valve surgery and augmentation rhinoplasty. Recent findings For nasal valve collapse, there is a trend for rhinoplasty surgeons to use Monarch nasal implant, absorbable valve implant and titanium butterfly implant rather than traditional cartilaginous grafts. For augmentation rhinoplasty, it is still a gold standard to use autologous cartilage. However, alloplastic implants are still very popular for...

ChaidasAbstractIntroductionTension pneumo-orbit is a rare but eye-threatening sequelae of orbital trauma. Minimal trauma to the lamina papyracea can result in a valve effect leading to rapid-onset proptosis and optic nerve compression in the absence of a haematoma.Case reportWe describe a case of medial orbital wall fracture in a 35-year-old lady...
Abstract Background The milking patency test (MPT) is widely used to assess the patency of microanastomosis, despite it being proven to be a traumatic test. Methods We performed microanastomoses with intentional two‐wall stitches and asked senior microsurgeons to evaluate the permeability of the anastomoses by looking first at the results of the MPT, then according to artery pulsation. Results Microsurgeons were all accurate in evaluating normal or clamped anastomoses. But in anastomoses...
Abstract Background This systematic review summarizes the prevalence of dental defects after chemo and radiation therapy and correlates the findings with specific characteristics of each treatment modality. Methods Database search was performed for studies reporting dental late effects of chemo and radiation therapy. After data extraction and risk of bias assessment, prevalence of crown and root defects was assessed. Correlations between each defect and the characteristics of the antineoplastic...

Abstract Depth of invasion (DOI) and tumour thickness (TT) are known prognostic indicators in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), but varying definitions have been used by pathologists for reporting. The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) has proposed adoption of a uniform definition of DOI and incorporated this measurement in the revised TNM staging (8th edition); however, unambiguous DOI determination can be a challenge in clinical practice. We reviewed archived slides...
Abstract Clear cell acanthoma (CCA), also known as pale cell acanthoma, represents a rare benign epidermal tumor with strong predilection for the lower extremities of middle-aged individuals and no frank gender preference. The etiology of CCA is poorly understood, although a localized psoriasiform reaction is favored. Herein, we report on the clinicopathologic and immunohistochemical features, and HPV status of an apparent example of oral CCA. A 58-year-old female presented with...
Objectives In otolaryngology, postoperative pain management lacks evidence‐based guidelines. We designed a prospective, multiphasic study aimed to develop evidence‐based guidelines for postoperative pain management within our institution. In this first phase of our project, we investigated opioid prescription and consumption as well as pain trends for common otolaryngologic procedures. Methods Patients (n = 161) who underwent procedures between July 2018 and February 2019 were surveyed on...
