Morpho‐functional analyses of the jaw apparatus in the Blue‐and‐yellow Macaw (Ara ararauna, Psittaciformes, Aves): Adaptations to feeding behavior

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Macaws are renowned for processing dry, mechanically resistant fruits, yet the species‐level anatomical and functional correlates of this performance remain incompletely resolved. We examined the feeding apparatus of the Blue‐and‐yellow Macaw (Ara ararauna) using an integrated approach that combines osteology, myology, and bite‐force estimates

Temporal Filling and Facial Lifting: Rethinking Expectations

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Temporal lifting using injectable fillers has gained considerable attention in facial esthetics, based on the anatomical principle that strategic volumization can produce lifting effects through mechanical transmission of forces. However, there is a significant gap between anatomical plausibility and clinical evidence.

What Is the Pterygomandibular Raphe? A Confluence of Fasciae Rather Than a Discrete Structure

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The pterygomandibular raphe (PMR) has traditionally been described as a fibrous or tendinous band connecting the bucinator (BM) and superior pharyngeal constrictor (SPCM) muscles. However, recent evidence has questioned its existence. This study aimed to reevaluate the anatomy of the pterygomandibular region by preserving fascial continuity ...

Impact of Infratemporal Fossa Clearance on Survival in Advanced Buccal Mucosa Cancers

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Buccal mucosa cancers are the most prevalent oral cavity cancers in South Asia, often attributed to widespread tobacco use. The current NCCN guidelines generally advise against primary surgery for locally very advanced (cT4b) buccal cancers involving the masticatory space and infratemporal fossa (ITF).

Use of Free Flaps in the Reconstruction of the Ventral Skull Base: A Systematic Literature Review

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Reconstruction of the ventral skull base represents a challenge in head and neck surgery. When local or regional flaps are insufficient, microvascular free flaps offer a reliable reconstructive option. Methods A systematic literature review was conducted following PRISMA guidelines to identify studies on ventral skull base ...

Smile Asymmetry and Eyelid Closure Following Temporalis Muscle Transfer for Facial Reanimation: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This systematic review and meta‐analysis of 53 studies and 1354 patients evaluates the outcomes of temporalis muscle transfer in facial nerve paralysis. Our results show that temporalis muscle transfer can restore smile asymmetry, oral commissure movement, and eyelid closure—findings that are translated to clinician‐rated assessments.

Autologous Mastoid Cortex Bone Graft for Multilayer Repair of Lateral Skull Base Defects

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Multilayer repair of lateral skull base cerebrospinal fluid leaks and encephaloceles can be reinforced with rigid autologous grafts. Harvesting a monocortical mastoid cortex bone graft is effective and easy to implement without conferring additional morbidity.

Temporalis muscle fixation in pterional craniotomy. Technical note

Temporal muscle asymmetry following a pterional craniotomy can be a bothersome cosmetic and functional problem. A number of incisions in the temporalis muscle have been proposed for optimal exposure in intracranial procedures, preservation of the ...

Perilymph Gusher in Cochlear Implantation Surgery: An Algorithm for Management

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Perilymph leak is considered a major complication of cochlear implantation (CI) surgery and can lead to surgical difficulties and postoperative morbidities. This study is aimed to formulate an algorithm for better management of perilymph leak in cases of CI. Methods This is a retrospective study conducted in our tertiary institute on
