Tubeless microlaryngoscopy optimises surgical access but typically relies on total intravenous anaesthesia, commonly using propofol and remifentanil infusions. We present a difficult airway case where an unrecognised drug error during programming of an infusion pump resulted in unexpected apnoea. […]

Even conservative resection of petroclival (PC) and posterior petrous (PP) meningiomas may cause facial nerve (FN) morbidities. While inconsistent classifications by tumor's dural origin circulate among different cohorts, a comprehensive assessment of postoperative FN outcomes is lacking. We […]

Trauma is a common cause of facial nerve palsy, accounting for 3% of all cases. While many facial palsies resolve with medical treatment, some require surgical intervention. This systematic review aimed to determine the best therapeutic strategy for traumatic facial palsy./r/nWe reviewed eligible […]

This study focuses on blepharoptosis, a common condition in oculoplastic surgery characterized by drooping of the upper eyelid. The efficacy and safety of using the combined fascial sheath (CFS) to correct blepharoptosis are still unclear./r/nA systematic search encompassing four databases (PubMed, […]

It is well known that Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a complex disease characterized by an Upper Airway (UA) collapse during sleep, with potential consequences on ENT districts. Recent evidence suggests a possible association with Eustachian Tube Dysfunction (ETD). However, the potential effects […]

COPD-OSA overlap syndrome is an important and prevalent condition. Patients with the overlap syndrome experience more severe respiratory symptoms and worse quality of life, and the relative risk of exacerbations is higher than in either condition alone. Because prevalence estimates of COPD-OSA […]

To assess the efficacy of conventional, skeletal and invisible orthodontic appliance for maxillary first molar distalization./r/nOn February 14, 2023, an electronic search was conducted to review molar distalization using conventional, skeletal and invisible appliance, and two updated searches were […]

Marginal adaptation is critical for oral health and the longevity of fixed prostheses. Conventional impression techniques frequently face challenges in accurate margin reproduction and soft tissue management. Although digital scanning offers enhanced speed, ease, and precision, whether these […]

Median cleft of the lower lip, midline mandibular cleft, or Tessier 30 cleft is a rare anomaly. We present a case involving the prenatal diagnosis of a median cleft of the lip and mandible associated with ankyloglossia, directly attached to the gingiva and lower lip. Postnatally, the condition was […]

To systematically review the efficacy of deep learning (DL) models in detecting and reconstructing orbital fractures based on computed tomography (CT) imaging, assessing their diagnostic accuracy, processing time, and role in surgical planning./r/nA systematic search was conducted in PubMed, […]

This novel hybrid single-double-single barrel (1-2-1) design for fibula free flap reconstruction addresses the unique challenges presented by Brown class III mandibular defects, which involve long-span defects at both bodies of the mandible and the chin. The importance of this design lies in its […]

Thyrotoxicosis and its associated complications pose a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge with heightened complexities in pregnant patients. Although Graves' disease is an established but infrequent cause of pericarditis, cardiac tamponade has been documented in association with hyperthyroidism […]

This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to determine the optimal timing for mandibular distraction osteogenesis in children with craniofacial microsomia based on long-term outcomes and relapse rates./r/nA comprehensive search of PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science was […]

Distraction osteogenesis has been the preferred treatment modality for patients with hemifacial microsomia. Although an immediate improvement in facial asymmetry is noted at the completion of the procedure, long-term data regarding postdistraction stability is rare. In this study, a ≥12-year […]

General anesthesia in patients with undiagnosed hypothyroidism can lead to neurological, pulmonary, and cardiovascular complications. We report a case of hypothyroidism in a patient with treatment-resistant depression detected intraoperatively based on multiple clinical findings. A 49-year-old […]

Loeys-Dietz syndrome is a rare connective tissue disorder characterized by the formation of aggressive arterial aneurysms.
