The objective of this article is to present our experience in developing a local electronic Makkah Otolaryngology—Head and Neck DATABASE (MO-HND) and provide a roadmap for the development of Otolaryngology—Head and Neck Surgery clinics in other tertiary centers. Methods: This is a prospective audit of all patients attending our clinic over 3 months period (July to September 2014). The data were recorded using our MO-HND. Results: A total of 1178 patients were included. The mean age was 27.7 ± 6.7 years. Participants included 586 males (49.7%) and 592 females (50.3%). There were 1139 (96.6%) Saudi and 39 (3.4%) non-Saudi patients. The specialist clinic undertook most of the workload (66%). The majority of surgery bookings (94%) were carried out through a consultant clinic. Of all participants, 80% were diagnosed with general ENT conditions, 21% underwent a procedure in the clinic, and 29% required further investigations. The surgical conversion rate was 16.3%. Conclusion: Electronic DATABASES have become important tools for improving medical services. Primary and secondary level medical centers and hospitals should increase their role in alleviating pressure from tertiary and quaternary level hospitals. In turn, a model concentrated on subspecialty clinics and services should be developed.展开更多

Fistulas are common and devastating. The prevalence and the risk factors that contribute to fistula formation after head and neck procedures were discussed briefly. The main goal of this manuscript is to discuss current management of head and neck fistula. We believed that the best management strategy for head and neck fistulas is prevention. We recommend a holistic preventive approach during the perioperative period. The roles of different types of wound products and hyperbaric oxygen therapy were also discussed and highlighted. We also discussed the operative repair of fistulas, which relies on the tenet of providing well-vascularized tissue to an area of poor wound healing. Most often, the surgeon’s preference and range of operative skills dictate the timing and the type of repair. We highlighted the use of the pectoralis major, a well-known fap, as well as a novel technique in the surgical repair of complex, diffcult-to-heal head and neck fstula.展开更多

During its development, the discipline and its sub-areas were increasingly enriched and refined, and its name evolved from 'ear, nose and throat' to 'otorhinolaryngology' and then to 'otolaryngology–head and neck surgery' In the United States, the American Laryngological Association was established in 1878, and the American Academy of Ophthalmology and Otolaryngology was founded in 1903. However, no doctors specialized in pediatric OHNS until the 1940s.展开更多

As life expectancy constantly increases, the onset of HNC in patients older than 65 years of age at diagnosis is not rare and up to one fourth of cases occurs in patients older that 70 years at age. Because elderly cancer patients are severely under-represented in clinical trials, there is a clear need to address the particular aspects of this specific patient group, especially in the context of novel multidisciplinary therapeutic approaches. The frailty of elderly patients with HNC is attributed to the high incidence of smoking and alcohol abuse in this malignancy and the presence of substantial cardiovascular, respiratory or metabolic comorbidities. In the current work, I provide an overview of current and emerging treatment approaches, in elderly patients with HNC. In particular, I discuss modern surgical approaches that improve radical excision rates while preserving functionality, the incorporation of modern radiotherapeutic techniques and the introduction of novel chemotherapeutic combinations and molecular targeted agents in an effort to reduce toxicity without compromising efficacy. Finally, there is an urgent need to increase accrual and active participation of elderly patients with HNC in clinical trials, including biomarker evaluation in biopsy specimens towards an individualized therapeutic approach.展开更多

Methods: Retrospective outcome analysis to determine the results of salvage surgery after failure of primary treatment of advan- ced head and neck cancer by chemoradiotherapy. 104 patients with advanced head and cancer were initially treated by chemoradiotherapy. Follow-up was evalu- ated in 27 patients undergoing salvage surgery for re- current tumor (larynx n = 13;oral cavity n = 9;hypo- pharynx n = 5). The initial tumor is stage T3 in 11 cases and T4 in 16 cases. 10 patients had primary tumors stage III and 17 patients had tumors stage IV. Results: One postoperative death occured following surgery. The overall incidence of complications was 9/ 27 (%). Recurrent disease developed at the primary initially treated in 25 cases and in the neck in 2 cases after a mean follow-up of 11 months (3 - 136 months). After salvage surgery, loco-regional recurrence and/ or distant disease developed in 10/27 patients after a mean follow-up of 4 months. 6/10 (60%) patients died after re-recurrence despite salvage chemotherapy. Conclusion: Salvage surgery after failure of initial chemoradiotherapy is burdened with high morbi- dity and bad oncological outcome. We demonstrated that it is difficult to salvage locally recurrent head and neck cancer especially at more advanced T-stages or when tumor recur. The limited effect of surgical salvage for recurrent tumor need to be addressed when choosing the initial treatment plan.展开更多

Severe maxillary and mandibular bone atrophy resulting after therapies are usually treated with autologous bone grafting procedures even though these techniques often present a significant risk of postoperative complications and disadvantages. We describe the case of a 59-year-old woman presenting severe bone defect after being treated with surgery and radiotherapy for recurrent oral verrucous squamous cell carcinoma. We performed bone regeneration using Platelet-Derived Growth Factors (PDGF) in combination with autologous bone chips. Our procedure of bone regeneration allowed the placement of dental implants and the achievement of a good aesthetic and functional result. Regenerative surgery may enable the regeneration of substantial bone defects. Moreover, PDGF application decreases the risk of implant failure in irradiated patients.展开更多

The mass became larger, and the overlying skin turned purple. There was no clinical response to a course of either cephalexin or clarithromycin. The remainder of the head and neck examination was normal including normal facial nerve function. Lyme titers and a computed tomographic (CT) scan with contrast of the facial region were obtained. The CT scan demonstrated the lesion to be superficial to the parotid gland. The lyme titer was elevated and doxycycline was begun. The mass appeared to reduce in size after doxycycline treatment, but then grew and turned erythematous. The lesion was surgically excised and was vascular with calcification and cheesy inclusions. The mass was quite close to the skin and the clinical diagnosis at the time of surgery was a pilomatrixoma, which was corroborated on pathological evaluation.展开更多
