  • Pages: 115-122
  • First Published: 27 October 2022
Highlights

  • The demographics and outcomes for a cohort of 30 patients with sinonasal carcinosarcoma were described.

  • Seventy-six percent of patients were treated with surgery followed by adjuvant radiotherapy.

  • 1- and 5-year survival from the time of diagnosis were 79.2% and 43.3% respectively.

  • Neither surgical intervention, patient sex, nor patient age independently predicted survival outcomes.

Using injectable fillers for chin and jawline rejuvenation

A variety of injectable fillers are available for nonsurgical jawline rejuvenation in the aging face. Major advantages include relatively affordable cost, minimal downtime for results, reduced patient pain, decreased recovery times, and absence of surgical incisions. The patient should be counseled on short- and long-term complications, as well as the limitations of injectable fillers.

Gender analysis of the top classic papers in otolaryngology head and neck surgery

  • Pages: 160-167
  • First Published: 22 June 2022
Key points

  • The aim of this study was to identify the characteristics of the top 150 most-cited articles in otolaryngology over the past 75 years.

  • The majority of papers were from the United States, written in the 2000s, and in the fields of otology and rhinology.

  • Nineteen percent of papers (n = 28) in the top 150 were written by women, closely mirroring the percentage of women in otolaryngology.

  • The percentage of female authorship significantly increased from papers published earlier to those published later; however, female first authorship did not change significantly.

  • Future efforts to identify targets for continuing and improving gender inclusivity and diversity should be pursued.

Significance of age and sex in botulinum neurotoxin dosing for adductor spasmodic dysphonia

  • Pages: 168-173
  • First Published: 29 January 2023
Key Points

  • Significant findings of the study: The younger cohort received higher doses of botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT-A) and experienced a shorter length of benefit, but the maximal benefit achieved was similar to the older cohort. Females received higher doses of BoNT-A with other outcome metrics similar to males.

  • What this study adds: This study represents the most highly powered publication to date addressing the impact of age and sex on the nature and efficacy of BoNT-A treatment for adductor spasmodic dysphonia. Its findings can assist physicians in patient counselling and BoNT-A dose selection.

Current practices regarding middle turbinate resection among otolaryngologists

  • Pages: 183-188
  • First Published: 23 November 2022
Highlights

  • Resection of the middle turbinate during endoscopic sinus surgery is a controversial topic among otolaryngologists.

  • The majority of survey participants (97.6%) stated that they would resect the middle turbinate in certain clinical situations.

  • Otolaryngologists were significantly more likely to perform a middle turbinate resection during revision endoscopic sinus surgery compared to primary surgery.

  • The complication of greatest concern among participants was iatrogenic frontal sinus obstruction, while empty nose was of the least concern.

  • When compared to general otolaryngologists, fellowship-trained rhinologists were less concerned about potential complications following MT resection and were more likely to perceive an extreme or moderate benefit from turbinate resection postoperatively.
