The Subhyoid Approach for Base of Tongue Tumors: Description of A Novel Surgical Technique
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.The sub‐hyoid approach is a novel open surgical technique for selected deeply infiltrative base of tongue tumors, providing direct access and allowing full‐thickness resection while preserving the tongue neurovascular structures. Thyro‐hyoido‐pexy restores hyo‐laryngeal suspension without flap reconstruction, with the aim of preserving swallowing ...

Nasolabial Flap in Oncologic Oral Cavity Reconstruction: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.The nasolabial flap provides a reliable local reconstructive option for selected small‐ to oncologic oral cavity defects, with low flap‐related complications and minimal donor‐site morbidity. Outcomes should nevertheless be interpreted according to defect characteristics, flap design, and the predominantly retrospective nature of the available evidence.
