Abstract Pseudoaneurysm at the anastomosis of the free flap following ablative head and neck surgery is uncommon. We present a case of external carotid artery pseudoaneurysm in a patient who…
Abstract The purpose of this study was to clarify the diagnostic value of capsule-like rim enhancement (CLRE) on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for distinguishing malignant from benign tumours of the…
Abstract The use of the supraclavicular island flap (SCIF) for the reconstruction of facial and neck skin defects is increasing. The value of this fasciocutaneous flap as a reconstructive modality…
Abstract The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of early exploration of anterolateral thigh (ALT) free flap compromise in head and neck reconstruction and to correlate this…
Abstract Audit of early postoperative outcomes adjusted for patient case mix is still in its infancy in head and neck surgery. Nevertheless the role for audit of early postoperative outcomes…
Abstract Most patients diagnosed with tongue carcinoma undergo surgical resection and reconstructive surgery to preserve tongue mobility and swallowing functions. Twenty-four patients who underwent a total or subtotal glossectomy and…
Thank you for the very interesting comments on the statistical methodology related to the article “Fine needle aspiration cytology and frozen section in the diagnosis of malignant parotid tumours” by…
I wish to comment on the recent paper by Fakhry et al., “Fine needle aspiration cytology and frozen section in the diagnosis of malignant parotid tumours”. This study illustrates a…
The Letter to the Editor to which we are responding refers to two papers published by our research team. In this response, ‘2007 paper’ refers to “Randomized effectiveness study of…
The paper entitled “Effects of four treatment strategies for temporomandibular joint closed lock” by Schiffman et al., published in the International Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (IJOMS) in February…
Abstract The goal of the present study was to compare the accuracy of dental image replacement on a cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) image using digital image data from three-dimensional…
Abstract Oral mucositis is a common and irritating complication of chemotherapy and radiotherapy for malignancies. Current treatments have failed to achieve complete remission of this complication. The St. John’s wort…
Abstract The safety of dental implant placement in patients at high risk for infective endocarditis (IE) has never been shown. The outcome of osseointegrated implants in patients with artificial heart…
Abstract IgG4-related dacryoadenitis and sialoadenitis (IgG4-DS) is characterized by serum IgG4 elevation and the infiltration of IgG4-positive plasma cells in glandular tissues. For definitive diagnosis of IgG4-DS, biopsies of local…
Abstract This study investigated the effect of undersized preparations with two different implant macrogeometries. There were four experimental groups: group 1, conical implant with an undersized osteotomy of 3.2 mm;…
Abstract The purpose of this study was to compare the bone height at the median and paramedian sites of the hard palate using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). CBCT images…
Abstract Initial bone preparation followed by a 2-week delay before implant placement enhances the biological activity at the osteotomy site, which may improve the treatment outcome. The aim of this…
Abstract The surgical treatment of mandibular condyle fractures currently offers several possibilities for stable internal fixation. In this study, a finite element model evaluation was performed of three different methods…
Abstract Endotracheal tube fixation in patients with severe facial burns and edentulism is a challenge. We describe a simple and elegant method to secure the endotracheal tube in such patients…
