A Longitudinal Assessment of Patient Satisfaction Following Head and Neck Free Flap Reconstruction
Non‐significant differences between social functioning, facial appearance satisfaction, and stress scores by primary site across population average time course. ABSTRACT Objectives Long‐term aesthetic outcomes following head and neck (HNC) microvascular free flap reconstruction are poorly understood. As patient survival improves for HNC, it is critical

Branchial Cleft Cyst Carcinoma Remains Grossly Over Diagnosed: A Large Database Analysis
Branchial cleft cyst carcinomas (BCCC) are rare lateral neck malignancies thought to originate from branchial cleft remnants. This study describes the largest cohort of patients with BCCC to date. Most patients were diagnosed with another HNC within 5 years, suggesting a likely misdiagnosis of BCCC. ABSTRACT Introduction Branchial cleft cyst carcinomas

Robotic Resection of Parapharyngeal Follicular Dendritic Cell Sarcoma With Castleman Disease
Parapharyngeal follicular dendritic cell sarcoma (FDCS) is rare and may occur with Castleman disease. We describe the successful transoral robotic resection of a parapharyngeal FDCS associated with Castleman disease, highlighting the role of the robotic approach in achieving tissue diagnosis and definitive treatment.

GERD and Upper Aerodigestive Tract Cancer Risk: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis
ABSTRACT Objective Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is highly prevalent, yet its association with upper aerodigestive tract (UADT) cancers beyond esophageal adenocarcinoma remains incompletely defined. This systematic review and meta‐analysis aimed to quantify the risk of specific UADT cancers in individuals with GERD.
