Postoperative Effects of Celecoxib on Opioid Use and Pain Control After Benign Oropharyngeal Surgery
This study evaluated how the addition of celecoxib to a multimodal pain regimen following tonsillectomy + adenoidectomy, or uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP) + tonsillectomy affects postoperative opioid use and pain control. Patients who received celecoxib consumed significantly fewer opioids compared to the historic control group, with similar ...

National Trends and Risk Factors for Dysphagia After Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion
From 2016 to 2023, inpatient anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) volume declined 52.2% while postoperative dysphagia rates increased 11.4% annually. Analysis of 496,425 cases demonstrated that dysphagia risk varied markedly by surgical indication, with cervical diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis, cervical spine fracture, and ...
