Refinement of maximal levator resection for blepharoptosis correction: High incision and advancement of levator complex [PDF]
JPRAS OpenBackground: Maximal levator resection (MLR) is indicated for severe blepharoptosis with poor levator function (LF) but carries risks of intraoperative bleeding due to dissection above the tarsus, conjunctival perforation, and postoperative conjunctival ...

Cadaveric Anatomical Study of Orbit-Preserving Ophthalmic Neurectomy via Endoscopic and Exoscopic Techniques. [PDF]
Head NeckABSTRACT Background Perineural spread of cutaneous head and neck squamous cell carcinoma is most effectively managed by surgical resection with a clear central margin at the affected nerve. For ophthalmic nerve disease, there is no clear consensus regarding the extent of spread which is resectable via an orbit‐preserving neurectomy, either in regard to

Gaussian Mixture Modeling of MRI-Derived Torus Tubarius and Inferior Turbinate Mucosal Morphometrics: Implications for Nasal Cycling and Eustachian Tube Interventions. [PDF]
Laryngoscope Investig OtolaryngolThickness of torus tubarius (TT) mucosa overhanging the Eustachian tube (ET) ostium is pertinent to ET balloon tuboplasty. We provide normative TT mucosal morphometrics, and establish that TT mucosal thickness unlikely exhibits variations similar to the nasal cycle.
