RESULTS In Streeter's stages 13-14 (fertilization age [FA], 28 to 32 days), the tongue prot...

Biomechanical analysis was used to mark movement of the tongue base and posterior pharyngeal wall during swallowing. RESULTS The major...
BACKGROUND Multilevel pharyngeal surgery is routinely indicated for patients suffering from obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) as both a first-line treatment and for patients whose disease is refractory to continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment. Tongue-base reduction surgeries to correct relative macroglasia are rapidly gaining traction as useful treatments for OSA. Novel techniques an...
BACKGROUND Head and neck oncologists are often confronted with the difficult challenge of balancing cancer cure with the preservation of function when deciding the patient's best treatment protocol.

The purpose of this manuscript is to describe the beavertail modification of the radial forearm-free flap in base of tongue reconst...
In a preliminary prospective randomised study, a series of 5 patients submitted to classic Tongue Base Reduction with Hyo-Epiglottoplasty (TBRHE according to Chabolle et al., 1998) is compared to a series of 7 patients submitted to a modified version of Chabolle's procedure. The changes introduced in the new surgical technique can be summarised as follows: a) lower neck skin incision; b) differ...
