ABSTRACT Background Head and neck cancer treatments can cause head and neck lymphoedema (HNL), impacting quality of life (QoL). This study examined lymphatic drainage changes in HNL using Indocyanine Green Lymphography (ICG‐L) and assessed QoL, physical, and functional outcomes.

Sonographic Anatomy and Imaging of the Extracranial Component of the Hypoglossal Nerve (CNXII)
The hypoglossal nerve (HN) provides motor innervation to tongue muscles responsible for tongue movement, speech, mastication, swallowing, respiratory functions and management of oral secretions. The intracranial component of the HN can be demonstrated on magnetic resonance imaging and the extracranial component can be demonstrated with sonographic ...

Delayed Onset Free Jejunal Flap Necrosis due to Thrombosis: A Case Report
Reports of jejunal flap necrosis caused by vascular anastomosis thrombosis as a late complication are rare. We report the case of a 68‐year‐old man who presented with free jejunal necrosis more than 2 years after reconstruction surgery and achieved a successful outcome due to relatively early necrosis detection, enabling salvage surgery before severe ...

Transoral Robotic‐Assisted Removal of a Submucosal Pyriform Sinus Foreign Body
Submucosal foreign bodies of the medial pyriform sinus represent a challenge given limited visualization and difficult retraction with endoscopic approaches, and risk of injury to the recurrent laryngeal nerve with open approaches. We present a novel case utilizing the Da Vinci SP system for removal of an embedded fishbone from the medial pyriform ...

Postoperative Outcome of Prelaminated Radial Forearm Free Flap for Soft Palate Reconstruction
ABSTRACT Objectives One method for the reconstruction of the entire soft palate is to use prelaminated radial forearm flaps (PRFFF). In a two‐step procedure the back of the flap is first epithelialized with split‐skin and subsequently used for soft palate reconstruction. Limited data exist on the perioperative and postoperative course of this technique.
