Non‐Metastatic Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Oropharynx: Primary Surgery or (Chemo)radiotherapy?
ABSTRACT Background In patients with locally advanced, non‐metastatic oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC), surgery‐based and nonsurgical treatment approaches have not been adequately compared in randomized Phase III clinical trials. Current clinical guidelines recommend various surgical and nonsurgical strategies across disease stages for ...

Who Gets Early Tracheostomy?: Evidence of Unequal Treatment at 185 Academic Medical Centers
BACKGROUND: Although the benefits of early tracheostomy in patients dependent on ventilators are well established, the reasons for variation in time from intubation to tracheostomy remain unclear.

Clinical management and nursing care for patients with tracheostomy following traumatic brain injury
Tracheostomy is a routine surgical procedure in patients with severe traumatic brain injury, which requires mechanical ventilation to maintain gas exchange and avoid hypoxemia. Inadequate tracheostomy timing, nursing care, and decannulation would lead to

Tracheostomy vs. Delayed Extubation in Head and Neck Reconstruction: A Meta‐Analysis
High volume centers are trialing delayed extubation as an alternative management approach to tracheostomy in patients undergoing head and neck reconstruction (HNR). This systematic review shows that patients in the delayed extubation group are four times less likely to suffer an airway complication (p = 0.295) and eight times less likely to suffer a ...

Benefits of Early Tracheostomy in TBI Patients
Severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients are constantly submitted to interventions to cope secondary injury and insults. Oxygen therapy is mostly initiated by endotracheal intubation at the scene of the accident. Due to the severity of the trauma, prolonged mechanical ventilation is expected and tracheostomy (TQT) is often indicated. TQT became one

Transoral Robotic Resection of Pediatric Tongue Base Mucoepidermoid Carcinoma
Transoral robotic surgery (TORS) offers a precise, minimally invasive approach for the management of rare pediatric tongue base malignancies. Intraoperative visualization demonstrates accurate tumor delineation and controlled resection, while postoperative findings confirm effective oncologic clearance with preservation of surrounding structures.
