Outcomes and Innervation of Gracilis for Pediatric Facial Paralysis: A Systematic Review
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.This systematic review compares innervation techniques for gracilis free muscle transfer in pediatric facial paralysis. Masseteric innervation produced the greatest commissure excursion, cross‐facial nerve grafting enabled spontaneous smiles, and dual innervation balanced both with high satisfaction and low complication rates across techniques ...

ALT Rescue Flap With Iliac Crest Bone Graft and Spanning Plate for Mandibular ORN
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.In select patients with focal full‐thickness mandibular ORN defects, the use of ALTFL in conjunction with ICBG and a spanning reconstructive plate appears to offer clinical and radiographic arrest of ORN. This technique has considerably lower morbidity than osteocutaneous reconstruction, with abbreviated hospital stays, a low complication rate, and no ...

Tracheostomy vs. Delayed Extubation in Head and Neck Reconstruction: A Meta‐Analysis
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.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 ...
