Abstract The skin incision is a vital step in cochlear implantation surgery and must ensure a good visual field with sufficient working space for the surgeon. Patients can be concerned with esthetics, so that is also an important consideration. We devised a method wherein the caudal end of the extended postauricular incisional line runs posteriorly and ends in the scalp (in‐scalp incision technique, Fig. 1B). The skin incision scar is entirely within the scalp so the postoperative wound...

Abstract Nitric oxide (NO) regulates a variety of epidermal functions, including epidermal proliferation, differentiation, and cutaneous wound healing. However, whether nitric oxide (NO) and its synthetic enzymes regulate epidermal permeability barrier homeostasis is not clear. In the present study, we employed inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) KO mice to explore the role of iNOS in epidermal permeability barrier homeostasis. Our results showed that iNOS mice displayed a comparable levels of...

Abstract Background The radial forearm free flap (RFFF) is a versatile flap commonly used in head and neck reconstructive surgery. We describe the use of a composite RFFF that includes muscle for reconstruction of a hostile wound of the posterior pharyngeal wall. Methods A 54‐year‐old male with a history of recurrent right palatine tonsil HPV+ squamous cell carcinoma developed severe soft tissue necrosis of the posterior pharyngeal wall secondary to reirradiation. The defect was reconstructed...

Zusammenfassung Schwindel und Gleichgewichtsstörungen sind Symptome mit vielfältigen Ursachen. Zuerst sind 4 Kardinalfragen (Art und Dauer des Schwindels, auslösende Faktoren, Begleitsymptome) zu beantworten. Danach erfolgt die Suche nach einem Spontannystagmus (Differenzierung peripherer und zentraler Störung mittels HINTS[„head impulse, nystagmus, test of skew“]-Tests) und im Rahmen einer Lagerungsprüfung nach einem benignen paroxysmalen Lagerungsschwindel (BPLS). Bei negativem...

To the Editor We compliment Yoo et al on their impressive cohort study reviewing data on 1364 patients with Bell palsy. However, we need more data to be able to concur with some of their conclusions. Their discussion correctly expresses our view that combination therapy should be used, especially in cases of severe palsy. Unfortunately, the data are not presented in a way that differentiates the severity of the palsy. The most important concern regarding their study is whether the prescription of...

In Reply We thank de Ru and Bayoumy for their comments regarding our article. We agree that a large proportion of patients with Bell palsy who have mild paralysis recover spontaneously, and that the combination of steroid and antiviral agents is more effective than steroids alone, particularly in patients with severe Bell palsy. Therefore, we appreciate the intention of de Ru and Bayoumy in their response to our article, as they have studied the outcomes of patients with Bell palsy treated with different...

Introduction: Atopy and ear, nose and throat (ENT) diseases are frequently associated; however, no clinical tool has been proposed so far to discriminate which patients could be atopic and therefore deserving of a further immunoallergological evaluation. Objective: The aim of this study was to assess and validate a set of dichotomous responses suitable for predicting the presence of atopy in adult patients. Methods: An 11-item questionnaire, i.e., the Atopy Index Inventory (AII), comprised of 4 questions...

Objectives The link between human papillomavirus (HPV) and oropharyngeal cancer (OPC) is well known. Locally advanced, HPV‐positive OPC (HPV OPC) can be treated with either chemoradiation or primary surgery with or without adjuvant therapy. Head and neck cancer patients with government insurance or uninsured have been shown to have worse prognosis than similar patients with private insurance. In this study, we aimed to determine if insurance status would predict treatment modality in patients with...
Objectives/Hypothesis Arytenoid adduction (AA) has been indicated for unilateral vocal fold paralysis (UVFP) patients with vertical vocal fold height mismatch and/or large posterior glottic gaps that are unable to be adequately addressed by anterior medialization techniques. Although AA offers several advantages over other methods, it is technically challenging and involves significant laryngeal manipulation of the cricoarytenoid joint. A novel, minimally invasive endoscopic arytenoid medialization...
