Objectives It is generally thought that the recovery of damaged chorda tympani nerve (CTN) function after middle ear surgery is different in pediatric patients from that in adult patients. The purpose of this study was to investigate the changes and the progress of taste and somatosensory functions of the tongue after middle ear surgery in pediatric patients compared with those of adult patients. Study Design Prospective study. Methods Fifty‐nine pediatric patients and 106 adult patients...
Objectives/Hypothesis Augmented reality (AR) allows for the addition of transparent virtual images and video to one's view of a physical environment. Our objective was to develop a head‐worn, AR system for accurate, intraoperative localization of pathology and normal anatomic landmarks during open head and neck surgery. Study Design Face validity and case study. Methods A protocol was developed for the creation of three‐dimensional (3D) virtual models based on computed tomography scans....
Objectives/Hypothesis To determine the volumetric changes in pharyngeal structures in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) treated with curative chemoradiation therapy (CRT). Patients treated with CRT for esophageal carcinoma (EC), where pharyngeal structures were not part of the radiation treatment fields, were controlled for dysphagia‐associated weight loss. We hypothesize that tissue volume alteration is a contributing factor of post‐CRT dysphagia. Study Design Case...
Objectives/Hypothesis Prognostic variables upon presentation can assist in recommending the optimal treatment for patients and may help in management of patient's expectations and side effects. Our objective was to evaluate prognostic factors for survival and nonfunctional larynx in patients with laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Study Design Retrospective chart review. Methods All patients diagnosed as having laryngeal SCC from January 2007 through December 2016 in a tertiary,...
