RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Critical review of computed tomography (CT) imaging is essential in preoperative planning for endoscopic sinus surgery. In this study, we used a systematic review and a modified Delphi method to develop a comprehensive checklist that facilitates preoperative review of sinus CT imaging. METHODS: We performed a systematic review of PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, Cochrane, and Web of Science databases to identify existing checklists developed to evaluate sinus CT imaging. An inclusive list of items from these checklists was compiled and a modified Delphi methodology was used to assign ranked priority. The Delphi process involved 14 rhinologists and had three phases: an initial survey with Likert priority (scale of 1-9) and two rounds of live discussions followed by survey to confirm consensus. RESULTS: Ninety-seven possible checklist items were identified from a systematic review and panelist input. On initial survey, 63 items reached a consensus score of 7+, and 13 items had near consensus scores between 6 and 7; two of these 13 borderline items were retained after subsequent panelist discussion. The resulting items were consolidated into an 11-item disease checklist and a 24-item anatomical checklist; the anatomical checklist was further divided into six subsections: nasal cavity, maxillary, ethmoid, sphenoid, frontal, skull base, and orbit. Additionally, panelists identified six core aspects of patient history to consider prior to surgery. CONCLUSIONS: After establishing content validity through a systematic literature review and a modified Delphi method, we developed a comprehensive checklist for preoperative sinus CT imaging review; implementation and evaluation of validity among trainees will suggest overall utility.

RESUMO

We present in this paper a novel approach to perform endoscopic chondrolaryngoplasty without any external visible scars. The technique involves utilizing the endoscopic transoral vestibular approach. We have modified the technique by using the placement of a suture immediately above the anterior commissure, which provides a marker for the inferior extent of cartilage resection.

RESUMO

Benign bony tumors of the skull base and paranasal sinuses are uncommon entities, with an overall higher incidence in males. Benign bony tumors may lead to local expansion with resultant mass effect of potentially critical structures. Some benign bony tumors may undergo malignant transformation. This article reviews the presentation and management of benign bone tumors of the skull base and paranasal sinuses with special consideration to involvement of the adjacent orbit, intracranial and critical neurovascular structures. This review covers tumor incidence, location, gross and histologic appearance as well as radiographic findings, treatment, and recurrence rates. Tumors discussed in this article include osteochondromas, osteomas, osteoid osteomas, aneurysmal bone cysts, fibrous dysplasia, giant cell tumors, cemento-ossifying fibroma, ameloblastic fibro-odontoma, ecchordosis physaliphora, chondromyxoid fibroma, primary chronic osteomyelitis, primary chronic osteomyelitis, osteochondromyxoma, and dense bone islands.

RESUMO

Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has been associated with a dramatic increase in postviral olfactory dysfunction (PVOD) among patients who are infected. A contemporary evidence-based review of current treatment options for PVOD is both timely and relevant to improve patient care. Objective: This review seeks to impact patient care by qualitatively reviewing available evidence in support of medical and procedural treatment options for PVOD. Systematic evaluation of data quality and of the level of evidence was completed to generate current treatment recommendations. Methods: A systematic review was conducted to identify primary studies that evaluated treatment outcomes for PVOD. A number of medical literature data bases were queried from January 1998 to May 2020, with completion of subsequent reference searches of retrieved articles to identify all relevant studies. Validated tools for the assessment of bias among both interventional and observational studies were used to complete quality assessment. The summary level of evidence and associated outcomes were used to generate treatment recommendations. Results: Twenty-two publications were identified for qualitative review. Outcomes of alpha-lipoic acid, intranasal and systemic corticosteroids, minocycline, zinc sulfate, vitamin A, sodium citrate, caroverine, intranasal insulin, theophylline, and Gingko biloba are reported. In addition, outcomes of traditional Chinese acupuncture and olfactory training are reviewed. Conclusion: Several medical and procedural treatments may expedite the return of olfactory function after PVOD. Current evidence supports olfactory training as a first-line intervention. Additional study is required to define specific treatment recommendations and expected outcomes for PVOD in the setting of COVID-19.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: Demonstrate feasibility, safety and outcome metrics of geriatric sinus surgery (GESS). STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective review of patients undergoing sinus surgery for indication of chronic rhinosinusitis with and without nasal polyposis. SETTING: Tertiary referral center. PARTICIPANTS: Patients who underwent FESS from 2008-2017; excluding skull base, craniofacial, or oncologic surgery. Primary study group were patients aged 65 years and older. Patients aged 40-64 years of age were included for comparison.Main Outcomes and Measures: Multivariate analysis was performed to identify independently associated patient characteristics and perioperative variables. Preoperative medical and treatment history, revision and primary surgery, preoperative and post-operative SNOT-22 and NOSE scores, Lund-McKay scores were recorded when available. Post-operative data was assessed at a minimum of two months after the index procedure. Post-operative complications were included. RESULTS: Ninety-one (91) patients met criteria. 21.2% of the geriatric patients were taking systemic anticoagulation prior to surgery, and underwent treatment with nasal steroids (25.0%), oral antibiotics (67.7%), nasal irrigations (48.4%), and systemic steroids (37.5%) over an average of 7.3 months prior to surgery. There was an average post-operative reduction of 15.0 points (p < 0.0001) and 42.5 points (p = 0.0008) for SNOT-22 and NOSE scores, respectively. Average operative time was 117.4 minutes in geriatric patients compared to 183.4 minutes in younger patients (p = 0.004), with an average estimated blood loss of 55.6 milliliters (mL) compared to younger patients (111.8 mL) (p = 0.04). Linear regression identified revision surgery as associated with reductions in Sinonasal Outcome Test (SNOT-22) scores (p = 0.011). Geriatric patients had a shorter operative time (p = 0.011) while male sex was associated with a longer operative time (p = 0.014). Patients over 65 had fewer minor complications (p = 0.01), and there were no major complications in either group. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: Geriatric sinus surgery is effective and safe in this cohort of patients.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: A minimal access technique for the management of nasopharyngeal tumors extending below the palatal plane and laterally beyond the pterygoid musculature is yet to be developed. In this study we demonstrate the feasibility of endoscopic transoral nasopharyngectomy (ETON) for resection of large nasopharyngeal lesions as a natural orifice alternative to traditional approaches. METHODS: ETON was completed in three latex-injected specimens. Surgical freedom (SF) and angles of attack (AoA) were calculated along the internal carotid artery (ICA). RESULTS: An endoscopic transoral approach was successfully used to identify the parapharyngeal ICA and subsequently perform a complete nasopharyngeal resection. SF and AoA (sagittal) were found to be the greatest at the anterior genu of the ICA. CONCLUSIONS: ETON is feasible. It provides wide exposure of the skull base and proximal control of the ICA. It may be indicated for the management of nasopharyngeal tumors with inferolateral extension, involving the ICA.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: COVID-19 poses a risk to the endoscopic skull base surgeon. Significant efforts to improving safety have been employed, including the use of personal protective equipment, preoperative COVID-19 testing, and recently the use of a modified surgical mask barrier. OBJECTIVE: To reduce the risks of pathogen transmission during endoscopic skull base surgery. METHODS: This study was exempt from Institutional Review Board approval. Our study utilizes a 3-dimensional (3D)-printed mask with an anterior aperture fitted with a surgical glove with ports designed to allow for surgical instrumentation and side ports to accommodate suction ventilation and an endotracheal tube. As an alternative, a modified laparoscopic surgery trocar served as a port for instruments, and, on the contralateral side, rubber tubing was used over the endoscrub endosheath to create an airtight seal. Surgical freedom and aerosolization were tested in both modalities. RESULTS: The ventilated mask allowed for excellent surgical maneuverability and freedom. The trocar system was effective for posterior surgical procedures, allowing access to critical paramedian structures, and afforded a superior surgical seal, but was limited in terms of visualization and maneuverability during anterior approaches. Aerosolization was reduced using both the mask and nasal trocar. CONCLUSION: The ventilated upper airway endoscopic procedure mask allows for a sealed surgical barrier during endoscopic skull base surgery and may play a critical role in advancing skull base surgery in the COVID-19 era. The nasal trocar may be a useful alternative in instances where 3D printing is not available. Additional studies are needed to validate these preliminary findings.

RESUMO

This literature review collates and summarizes recent literature to explore the relationship between chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) and allergy. The relationship between CRS and allergy is not fully understood. However, current evidence suggests a relationship between allergy and specific endotypes of CRS with nasal polyposis, including allergic fungal rhinosinusitis and central compartment atopic disease. Specific endotypes of CRS with nasal polyps seem to have an association with allergy. More evidence is necessary to better characterize this relationship. Level of evidence: 5.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Headaches are commonly evaluated in otolaryngology and often represent a diagnostic dilemma. This review addresses rhinogenic headache as well as trigeminal neuralgia and migraine, both of which can masquerade as sinus headache and whose management increasingly involves otolaryngology intervention. Discussion considers diagnostic criteria and novel therapies and derives an algorithm for clinical decision-making. DATA SOURCES: OVID MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar databases. METHODS: A literature search was performed to identify relevant articles published in the past 10 years addressing the diagnosis and management of rhinogenic headache, trigeminal neuralgia and/or migraine. FINDINGS: Rhinogenic headache: Identification of the specific cause must be achieved before treatment. No studies have mentioned the effect of certain therapies on the amelioration of headache. New techniques of balloon dilation for sinusitis are controversial, and their use remains contingent on surgeon preference. Removal of mucosal contact points has been shown to benefit quality of life in patients with contact point headache. Trigeminal neuralgia: Microvascular decompression is considered the gold standard for treatment, but percutaneous therapies can be effective for achieving pain control. Migraine: Patients who report amelioration of symptoms after targeted botulinum toxin injection may benefit from definitive decompression or nerve avulsion. Patients with mucosal contact points may have less favorable outcomes with migraine surgery if they are not simultaneously addressed. CONCLUSIONS: A comprehensive understanding of the diagnostic workup and therapeutic options available for common headache etiologies is key to the management of a patient presenting with headache attributed to a rhinogenic cause.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: There is little population-level data evaluating risk factors for postoperative complications after total laryngectomy. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective review of the American College of Surgeons National Quality Improvement Program identifying patients who underwent total laryngectomy as a primary procedure from 2005 to 2014. Multivariate analysis was performed to identify variables that were independently associated with overall and major complications. RESULTS: Eight hundred seventy-one cases met inclusion criteria. Three hundred twenty-eight patients (37.7%) had complications, with operative time (hours; P < .0001), class III (P < .001) wound status, and patient age (decade; P = .003) associated with overall complications. Two hundred one patients had major complications that were associated with steroid use (P = .01) and class III (P = .0083) wound classification. Preoperative hematocrit was correlated with a reduction of all and major complications on multivariate analysis (P < .0001 and P = .036). CONCLUSION: Identifying and optimizing risk factors may improve outcomes in total laryngectomy.

RESUMO

Nasoseptal perforations can be a challenging defect for the reconstructive surgeon, with repair limited by the surrounding tissue availability and the defect size. In patients with a history of cocaine use, often the integrity of surrounding vasculature is questionable and large defects may not be well suited for local reconstruction. In the otolaryngology literature, several reconstructive options using local tissue and synthetic materials have been described, but there have been no reports of microvascular free flaps utilized in this regard. We present a unique case of a 37-year-old woman with a 3.0 cm × 3.5 cm nasoseptal perforation secondary to cocaine use successfully reconstructed with a temporoparietal fascia free flap anastomosed to the facial artery and vein. Postoperatively, the patient had a well-healed septal defect from the free flap reconstruction This new technique shows promise as a feasible option for patients with large defects and for those with limited local reconstructive options. The ease of harvest and low donor-site morbidity make the temporoparietal fascia flap a suitable option for repair of complex nasoseptal defects.

RESUMO

Introduction Laryngotracheal stenosis is a difficult problem with varied etiology and various treatment options. The holmium laser represents another tool for the treatment of benign tracheal stenosis. Objectives To determine the utility of holmium laser treatment for benign tracheal stenosis with regards to safety and efficacy. Methods This was a retrospective case study examining patients with benign tracheal stenosis from 1998-2016 who underwent holmium laser treatment. Determining the safety of this procedure was the primary goal, and complications were monitored as a surrogate of safety. Results A total of 123 patients who underwent holmium laser treatment for benign tracheal stenosis were identified. In total, 123 patients underwent 476 procedures, with follow-up ranging from 1 month to 14 years. No intraoperative or post-operative complications were identified as a direct result of the use of this particular laser. Conclusions The holmium laser is an effective and safe laser to use for tracheal stenosis treatment. It is a contact laser with a short acting distance, which reduces the risk of injury to distal airway structures. Given the favorable experience reported here, the holmium laser should be considered when tracheal surgery is attempted.

RESUMO

Reconstruction of the head and neck can be a challenging undertaking owing to numerous considerations for successful rehabilitation. Although head and neck defects were once considered irretrievably morbid and associated with a poor quality of life, advances in surgical technique has immensely contributed to the well-being of these patients. However, all patients are not suitable surgical candidates and many have sought nonsurgical options for functional and cosmetic restoration. As such, the advent of prostheses has ameliorated those concerns and provided a viable alternative for select patient populations. Prosthetic reconstruction has evolved significantly over the past decade. Advances in biocompatible materials and imaging adjuncts have spurred further discovery and forward progress. A multidisciplinary approach to head and neck reconstruction focused on appropriate expectations and patient-centered goals is most successfully coordinated by a team of head and neck surgeons, maxillofacial surgeons, and prosthetic specialists. The aim of this article is to provide a comprehensive review of the current trends for prosthetic rehabilitation of head and neck defects, and further elaborate on the limitations and advancements in the field.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: Sulcus vocalis and vocal fold scar involve derangement of the superficial lamina propria of the vocal fold, which results in significant dysphonia. Many options exist for treatment, most of which have unsatisfactory and unpredictable outcomes. Autologous transplantation of temporalis fascia into the vocal fold (ATFV) has the potential to be a better treatment option, but long-term outcomes have not been well studied. METHODS: Retrospective chart review and patient survey. Twenty-one patients diagnosed with vocal fold scar or sulcus vocalis and treated with ATFV with at least 1-year follow-up were included. Voice Handicap Index 10 (VHI-10) questionnaires were collected preoperatively and 6 months postoperatively. Patients were reached at the time of the study to complete another VHI-10 and a Likert scale survey. RESULTS: The mean decrease in VHI-10 scores between preoperation and 6 months postoperation was 8.35 ( P < .001). From preoperation to the time of the study (average 44 months; range, 12-72 months), the VHI decreased 13.53 ( P < .001). Eighty-eight percent of patients reported they would recommend this surgery to others with the same diagnosis. Only 1 minor self-limited complication occurred. CONCLUSION: Autologous transplantation of temporalis fascia into the vocal fold for the treatment of vocal fold scar and sulcus vocalis is a safe surgery with good long-term outcomes and high patient satisfaction.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To elucidate the role of surgery in the management of anaplastic thyroid cancer. METHODS: Ovid MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar databases were searched for publications from December 2000 to July 2016. Selection criterion was a focus on the management of anaplastic thyroid cancer in adults. Studies addressing only nonsurgical management and review articles were excluded. Data extraction was performed using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. Kaplan-Meier analysis was performed on a subset of patients. RESULTS: 40 publications were included in the study. Approaches to unresectability and interpretations of resection varied widely. For patients undergoing primary surgery, the median survival was 6.6months. The median survival for non-surgical patients was 2.1months. In the subgroup analysis, the median survival time for patients undergoing surgery was significantly longer in Stage IVB (p=0.022) but not IVC disease. Negative margins did not afford a statistically significant survival benefit. CONCLUSION: Surgery is a mainstay of treatment for Stage IVA and IVB disease. For Stage IVC cancer, distant metastasis was not a strict criterion against surgical candidacy among surgeons. The extent of resection and the definition of resectability remain controversial. Negative margins did not significantly increase survival.
