OBJECTIVE: To investigate the beneficial outcomes of intraoperative enteral feeding in free-flap regeneration after extended head and neck cancer resection and flap reconstruction surgery. STUDY DESIGN: A pilot randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial. SETTING: Single tertiary care center. METHODS: Patients with advanced head and neck cancers requiring radical tumor resections and free-flap reconstruction were randomly assigned to receive intraoperative enteral nutrition feeding (100 kcal/100 mL at 10-20 mL/h) via a nasogastric tube during free-flap reconstruction (n = 28) or continue fasting (n = 28)...

OBJECTIVE: Current definitions of hearing loss (HL) may be insufficiently strict, as subclinical hearing loss (SCHL; >0 and ≤25 dB hearing level) has been associated with deleterious age-related conditions. SCHL prevalence and mean age of HL onset in the United States has not been characterized. STUDY DESIGN: A cross-sectional epidemiologic prevalence study. SETTING: US Community. METHODS: We analyzed cross-sectional audiometric data in the US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2005-2012, 2015-2018, n = 15,649)...

OBJECTIVE: External auditory exostosis (EAE) is a condition of progressive temporal bone growth into the external auditory canal most commonly from repeat cold water and wind exposure. Several tools have been utilized for EAE excision with varying implications for intra- and postoperative complications. However, comparisons of osteotome and microdrill are made difficult due to the few published cases and intervariability between surgeons. Furthermore, evidence is needed to analyze the safety of novel supplemental tools such as the piezoelectric bone-cutting device...

OBJECTIVE: In 2013, the American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery (AAO-HNS) published guidelines for Bell's palsy (BP), including recommendations for workup, management, and specialist referral. Patients with BP often present to primary care; however, adherence to guidelines may vary by setting. This study sought to evaluate the management of patients with BP presenting to primary care, emergency department (ED), and urgent care settings. STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study...

JOURNAL ARTICLE
Fabian N Necker, Marcello Chang, Christoph Leuze, Michael C Topf, Bruce L Daniel, Fred M Baik
Head and neck surgeons often have difficulty in relocating sites of positive margins due to the complex 3-dimensional (3D) anatomy of the head and neck. We introduce a new technique where resection specimens are 3D scanned with a smartphone, annotated in computer-assisted design software, and immediately visualized on augmented reality (AR) glasses. The 3D virtual specimen can be accurately superimposed onto surgical sites for orientation and sizing applications. During an operative workshop, a surgeon using AR glasses projected virtual, annotated specimen models back into the resection bed onto a cadaver within approximately 10 minutes...

OBJECTIVE: To assess transgender and nonbinary adults' awareness of Otolaryngologists' (ENT) and speech-language pathologists' (SLP) ability to perform various face, neck, and voice procedures for gender-affirming purposes. STUDY DESIGN: Cross-sectional survey. SETTING: Online, from February to May 2022. METHODS: We developed a list of nonsurgical and surgical gender-affirming face, neck, and voice procedures. We asked transgender and nonbinary (TNB) adults which procedures from this list they knew could be performed by specially-trained ENTs or SLPs for gender-affirmation and which listed procedures they knew existed as gender-affirming treatment before the survey...

OBJECTIVE: Preoperative planning for otologic or neurotologic procedures often requires manual segmentation of relevant structures, which can be tedious and time-consuming. Automated methods for segmenting multiple geometrically complex structures can not only streamline preoperative planning but also augment minimally invasive and/or robot-assisted procedures in this space. This study evaluates a state-of-the-art deep learning pipeline for semantic segmentation of temporal bone anatomy...

Ultrasonography is gaining popularity as a diagnostic imaging modality for airway pathology. Tracheal ultrasound (US) has several nuances that are important for clinicians, including imaging artifacts, which can be mistaken for pathology. Tracheal mirror image artifacts (TMIAs) occur when the US beam is reflected back to the transducer in a nonliner direction or with multiple timesteps. It has previously been believed that the convexity of the tracheal cartilage prevents mirror image artifacts, but in reality, the air column acts as an acoustic mirror and causes TMIA...
