Transoral Minimal-Access Mandibular Reconstruction Using Fibula Free Flap for Osteoradionecrosis
A case series describes transoral fibula free flap reconstruction for mandibular osteoradionecrosis, showing promising early disease control and low complication rates compared with traditional open neck approaches.
Clinical Care Guideline Implementation of Nebulized Tranexamic Acid in Post-Tonsillectomy Hemorrhage
A clinical care guideline improved emergency use of nebulized tranexamic acid for post-tonsillectomy bleeding and was associated with fewer returns to the operating room.
A Post-Tonsillectomy Hemorrhage Guideline Using Nebulized Tranexamic Acid Was Associated With Fewer Returns to the Operating Room
A quality-improvement clinical care guideline for nebulized tranexamic acid in post-tonsillectomy hemorrhage achieved high protocol adherence and was associated with a marked reduction in operative intervention.
Clinical Care Guideline Implementation of Nebulized Tranexamic Acid in Post-Tonsillectomy Hemorrhage
A clinical care guideline for nebulized tranexamic acid in post-tonsillectomy hemorrhage was rapidly adopted in the Emergency Department and was associated with fewer returns to the operating room.
A Clinical Care Guideline for Nebulized Tranexamic Acid Was Associated With Fewer Operating Room Returns After Post-Tonsillectomy Hemorrhage
A structured emergency department guideline for nebulized tranexamic acid in post-tonsillectomy hemorrhage achieved rapid protocol uptake and was associated with a marked reduction in operative hemorrhage control.
A Standardized Emergency Department Guideline for Nebulized Tranexamic Acid Was Linked to Fewer Operating Room Returns After Post-Tonsillectomy Hemorrhage
A hospital clinical care guideline enabled rapid uptake of nebulized tranexamic acid for eligible post-tonsillectomy hemorrhage and was associated with a marked reduction in operative control of bleeding.
Internet-Based CBT for Tinnitus Shows Durable Benefit Up to 6 Years, but Long-Term Interpretation Requires Caution
A 6-year follow-up of guided internet-based CBT for tinnitus found sustained reductions in tinnitus distress, with smaller persistent gains in mood and sleep, despite substantial attrition and the absence of a long-term control group.
Internet-Based CBT for Tinnitus Shows Durable Benefit Up to 6 Years, With Sustained Reduction in Distress but More Modest Auditory Gains
A 6-year follow-up study suggests guided internet-based CBT for tinnitus can produce durable reductions in tinnitus distress, with sustained but smaller benefits for mood, insomnia, and life satisfaction.
A Post-Tonsillectomy Hemorrhage Guideline With Nebulized Tranexamic Acid Was Linked to Fewer Returns to the Operating Room
A quality-improvement guideline standardizing nebulized tranexamic acid for post-tonsillectomy hemorrhage achieved high protocol adherence and was associated with a marked reduction in operative hemorrhage control.
Frenotomy Use in Danish Infants More Than Doubled Over a Decade, With Marked Geographic Variation and Limited Signals of Serious Harm
A nationwide Danish cohort study found rapid growth in infant frenotomy, wide municipal variation, and rare severe complications, raising questions about clinical appropriateness in the setting of limited evidence for benefit.
Nebulized Ciprofloxacin-Dexamethasone Appears Well Tolerated After Pediatric Airway Surgery in a Large Retrospective Cohort
A single-center retrospective study of 399 pediatric airway surgery patients found no significant adverse events clearly linked to postoperative nebulized ciprofloxacin-dexamethasone, supporting short-term safety while leaving efficacy and
Volumetric Thresholds After Glossectomy May Predict Feeding Tube Dependence and Poor Speech
A retrospective cohort study suggests that preoperative tumor burden, extent of tongue resection, and degree of volume restoration are strongly associated with swallowing and speech outcomes after glossectomy.
Anti-EBV BNLF2b Antibody Shows High Accuracy for Outpatient Diagnosis of Suspected Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma
In a prospective multicenter cohort, P85-Ab achieved 93.0% sensitivity and 97.3% specificity for suspected nasopharyngeal carcinoma, outperforming conventional EBV serologies in outpatient practice.
Diagnostic Performance of Anti-Epstein-Barr Virus BNLF2b in Suspected Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma
P85-Ab, an anti-EBV BNLF2b antibody test, showed excellent accuracy for suspected nasopharyngeal carcinoma and outperformed older EBV markers in most outpatient settings.
Earlier Cricopharyngeal Intervention May Improve Oral Intake in Absent UES Opening After Neurological Injury
A small retrospective series suggests that cricopharyngeus-targeted procedures can improve upper esophageal sphincter opening and oral intake after neurological injury, but aspiration risk often persists and ongoing swallowing therapy remai
Fatigue After Thyroidectomy: What Patients Actually Experience
A qualitative study found that fatigue after thyroidectomy is common, disruptive, and often unexpected. Patients described major impacts on work and daily life, and many wanted surgeons to warn them about it before surgery.
Identifying High-Risk Children Safe for Same-Day Discharge After Tonsillectomy
Children with obesity and severe OSA usually stay overnight after tonsillectomy, but this study found most had no major complications. Oxygen nadir and AHI may help identify very low-risk patients who could be considered for same-day discha
Systematic V2 Vagal Stimulation Improves Detection of Post-Thyroidectomy Vocal Cord Dysfunction and May Better Guide Staged Surgery
A 2026 cross-sectional study suggests that routine postdissection vagal stimulation during thyroidectomy detects recurrent laryngeal nerve dysfunction more sensitively than RLN stimulation alone and may reduce the risk of bilateral vocal co
A CBT-Based Mobile App Significantly Reduced Tinnitus Distress in a Sham-Controlled Randomized Trial
In a 60-patient randomized trial, a digital therapeutic app delivering tinnitus education and CBT elements produced large, durable reductions in tinnitus-related distress over 16 weeks, with no serious safety concerns.
3D-Printed Temporal Bones Provide a Reliable, Objective Way to Assess Mastoidectomy Skill Across Otolaryngology Training
A prospective single-center study found that final product analysis on 3D-printed temporal bones reliably distinguished mastoidectomy performance by residency level and may support competency-based assessment.
