The objective of this study was to determine the 30-day incidence of ischemic stroke following neck dissection compared to matched patients undergoing non-head and neck surgeries.A surgical dissection of the neck is a common procedure performed for many types of cancer. Whether such dissections increase the risk of ischemic stroke is uncertain.A retrospective cohort study using data from linked...

Complications of the surgery for head and neck cancer may be catastrophic or noncatastrophic. Recognition of this is frequently as important as the method of resolution. A general classification of complications as anatomic, physiologic, technical, and functional will aid in recognition and prevention of these problems in this difficult group of patients.

Background. The medical literature on synovial sarcoma (SS) of the head and neck region is limited. Thus, we determined whether clinical characteristics and treatment were associated with recurrence and survival rates in patients with SS of the head and neck. Methods. We retrospectively identified patients with a pathologic diagnosis of SS of the head and neck at our institution (a large tertia...

Head and neck cancer is a complex pathology whose incidence has increased in recent years. The primary treatment surgery, which involves extensive mutilating interventions through the cervical region, leaving significant anatomofunctional sequelae. Since 2009, use of robotic surgery using Da Vinci® system been consensus for resecting oropharyngeal supraglottic tumors transoral surgery. Subseque...

The evolution of surgical oncologic technology has moved toward reducing patient morbidity without compromising oncologic resection. In head and neck surgery, organ-preserving techniques have paved the way for the development of transoral techniques that remove tumors of the upper aerodigestive tract without external incisions and potentially spare the patient adjuvant treatment. The introducti...

Abstract Background This study aims to report the rate of occult lymph node metastasis during elective neck dissection in clinically and radiologically negative (cN0) for patients offered total laryngectomy as either primary or salvage treatment. We also compare complications recurrence after laryngectomy. A retrospective review treated a single teaching hospital UK between 2004 2020 was perfor...

sclerosing hemangioma of the lung is extremely rare.  herein, a case of sclerosing hemangioma of the lung in a 44-year-old woman is reported.  on admission, the patient complained of pain in the left lower neck and upper chest.  chest x-ray revealed a mass in lingular lobe of the left lung.  the patient underwent surgery and a mass was removed through left posterolateral thoracotomy.  pathologi...

OBJECTIVE To define the rate of complications from surgery following intensive chemoradiotherapy in patients with advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck. DESIGN The medical records of 131 consecutive patients treated with a combination of chemotherapy and radiation therapy for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma from 1995 through 2002 were reviewed. Thirty-eight patients unde...

CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVES Head and neck cancer is the fifth most common type of cancer worldwide. The objective of this study was to evaluate the clinical and epidemiological parameters in a head and neck surgery service. DESIGN AND SETTING Cross-sectional study using patients' records, developed in otolaryngology and head and neck department of a university hospital in the northwest of the stat...

Though early stage head and neck cancers can be cured either by surgery or radiation, patients with locally advanced disease continues to pose a therapeutic challenge. Locoregional failure is the major cause of death in head and neck cancers. As the outcome of locally advanced head and neck cancer is less than promising, a combined modality approach is generally undertaken in this group of pati...
