Prognostic Utility of Controlling Nutritional Status Score in Patients With Oral Cavity Cancer

Laryngoscope Investigative Otolaryngology, Volume 10, Issue 4, August 2025.
The preoperative CONUT score holds potential as a prognostic marker for patients with OCSCC undergoing surgery. The CONUT score‐based nomogram could serve as a valuable tool for predicting survival outcomes in OCSCC management. ABSTRACT Objective We evaluated the preoperative Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) score—comprising serum albumin, total ...

Application of Biomaterials for the Prevention of Pharyngeal Fistulae: A Systematic Review

Head &Neck, Volume 47, Issue 7, Page 2048-2057, July 2025.
ABSTRACT Background PharyngoCutaneous Fistulae (PCF) represent a significant clinical challenge in otorhinolaryngology practice. The use of biomaterials could improve outcomes or even replace the use of a flap in pharyngolaryngeal surgery. Methods This systematic review included all studies evaluating the application of biomaterials for the prevention ...

Low Skeletal Muscle Mass: A Strong Predictive Factor for Surgical Complications After Free Forearm Flap Reconstruction in Oral Cancer Patients

Head &Neck, Volume 47, Issue 4, Page 1135-1141, April 2025.
ABSTRACT Background Low skeletal muscle mass (SMM) is a predictive factor for complications in patients undergoing major head and neck cancer surgery. This study aims to identify the predictive value of low SMM for postoperative complications in patients who underwent free forearm flap (FAFF) reconstructions after oral cancer resections.
