RESUMEN

Objective: Nasal obstruction is a very common problem often addressed by functional nasal surgery. Increasingly, these procedures are being performed in the office setting secondary to decreased down time, cost, and obviation of general anesthesia. Our goal with this review is to discuss how to appropriately select patients for office-based procedures, what procedures may be considered, and current outcomes with in-office functional nasal surgery. Data Sources: PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar. Methods: Research databases were searched for articles discussing techniques for performing functional nasal surgery in an office setting, and outcomes of various in-office functional nasal procedures. Results: Studies found and included in this review discuss many aspects of office-based functional nasal surgery, including practical points on patient selection and office set-up, what procedures can safely be performed, and outcomes of different techniques to address specific problems. Broadly, procedures amenable to performance in the office address the internal and external nasal valves, the nasal septum, and the inferior turbinates. Conclusion: A wide range of techniques to aaddress the nasal valves, septum, and inferior turbinates can be performed in a safe and effective manner without the need for an operative suite.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: In revision or posttraumatic rhinoplasty, the quantity and quality of septal cartilage available for grafting is often deficient and auricular cartilage often provides insufficient strength for structural nasal reconstruction. Accordingly, rib cartilage serves as a reliable, abundant source of cartilage for grafting. However, the various sources of rib cartilage carry respective benefits and weaknesses. This review examines recent studies, novel applications and a comparison of the primary sources of rib cartilage, including autologous cartilage, irradiated cadaveric rib and fresh frozen cadaveric cartilage. RECENT FINDINGS: Options for rib cartilage include autologous, irradiated cadaveric rib, and more recently, reports on fresh frozen cadaveric cartilage. Studies continue to conclude that autologous and irradiated donor cartilage carry equivalent results, have similar rates of complication and have a comparable cost profile. SUMMARY: Regardless of the source, rib cartilage plays an important role in structural rhinoplasty, especially in revision cases. Although the risks, benefits and long-term results of autologous and radiated homologous cartilage have been evaluated in observational studies, fresh frozen rib cartilage will need further follow up before widespread use, although preliminary literature shows promise.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: Interposition vein grafting in free flap reconstruction is often viewed as a risky procedure, but is necessary in cases of inadequate pedicle length. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Two tertiary care centers retrospectively.reviewed 3008 head and neck free flap reconstructions from 2008 to 2017 91 patients were identified requiring interposition vein grafting during reconstruction. Pre and perioperative characteristics were recorded Univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted with a p value <0.05 indicating statistical significance. RESULTS: Of the 91 patients 75% had undergone reconstruction for cancer, 66% of these cases were in the setting of recurrence or complication, 33% had a previous free flap, and 52% had prior radiation therapy. Surgical site was primarily craniofacial (36%) or oral cavity (26%). The majority of vein grafts were saphenous (64%), average graft length 18 cm (SD 11 cm). Half were used for both artery and vein anastomosis. Flap survival was 85% overall and only prior free flap was predictive of failure on multivariate analysis. No other peri-operative or graft variable assessed in this study were predictive of flap failure. CONCLUSION: In a multi-institutional study of head and neck free flap reconstructions using interposition vein grafts, we identified an overall 85% success rate with no significant difference between soft tissue and osteocutaneous flaps despite the complicated nature of these cases.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Solid organ transplant recipients are known to be at an increased risk of cancer development, but research on head and neck cancer in transplant recipients has been limited and prior risk assessments may not be accurate. METHODS: A retrospective review using a national Veterans Administration database to query outpatient problem lists for ICD codes indicating solid organ transplant and subsequent diagnosis of head and neck cancer. RESULTS: In a study of 30 939 656 patients (37 969 solid organ transplants and 113 995 head and neck cancers), history of transplant significantly predicted head and neck cancer, with relative risks ranging from 1.85 (thyroid) to 2.91 (salivary gland). Worse overall survival (OS) was seen for head and neck cancer patients with prior transplants. CONCLUSIONS: In a large case-control study, prior transplant was a risk factor for head and neck cancer development and worse OS for head and neck cancer patients.
