A state-of-the-art resource on head, neck, and skull base surgical procedures in children.

Abstract

Chapter 6 - In this chapter, we provide a focused review on a highly challenging subset of head and neck paragangliomas, that is, those arising from the skull base (jugulotympanic region).

Abstract

Chapter 5 - Carotid body and vagal paragangliomas, although considered indolent tumors, represent a challenge for the treating physician.

Abstract

OBJECTIVE:
To evaluate incidence, demographics, surgical, and radiological correlates of incomplete and false tract electrode array insertions during cochlear implantation (CI). To evaluate outcomes in patients with incomplete electrode insertion (IEI).

Tumours can be viewed as aberrant tissues or organs sustained by tumorigenic stem-like cells that engage into dysregulated histo/organogenetic processes.

Abstract

OBJECTIVE:
To evaluate the long-term surgical outcomes of cochlear implantation (CI) in chronic otitis media (COM) with cholesteatoma and open cavities using subtotal petrosectomy (STP). To review device explantation (DE) patients and reimplantation considerations.

Abstract

OBJECTIVE:
To study the clinical presentation, intraoperative findings and surgical management in meningo-encephalic-herniation (MEH) based on the etiology.

Abstract

BACKGROUND:
The wait-and-scan modality has emerged as an important strategy in the management of vestibular schwannoma (VS) as it has been demonstrated that many tumors grow slowly or do not show any growth over long periods.

Abstract

OBJECTIVE:
1) To review the surgical and auditory outcomes and complications of cochlear implantation in cases with cochlear ossification.
2) To evaluate association between the extent and etiology of ossification to outcomes.

Abstract

OBJECTIVE:
1. To analyze the surgical outcomes in the management of petrous apex cholesterol granulomas (PACG) with a brief literature review.
2. To evaluate the importance of wait-and-scan management option.

Abstract

BACKGROUND:
Intrinsic tumors of the facial nerve are a rare entity. Dealing with this subset of tumors is challenging both in terms of decision making and surgical intervention.

OBJECTIVE:
To review the outcomes of surgical management of facial nerve tumors and cable nerve graft interpositioning.

Abstract

OBJECTIVE
1) To review the surgical and auditory outcomes in patients of cochlear implantation in otosclerosis. 2) To review complications and postimplantation facial nerve stimulation (FNS). 3) To compare the auditory outcomes between patients displaying cochlear ossification to the nonossified ones.

Abstract

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS
To describe the technique of subtotal petrosectomy (STP), to analyze the outcomes, and to review the literature.

Abstract

OBJECTIVE
The aim in this study was to review the technique and outcomes of cable graft interpositioning of the facial nerve (FN) in lateral skull base surgeries.

Abstract
To investigate the surgical and audiological outcomes of an installation of a bone-anchored hearing system (BAHS) procedure without tissue reduction using Ponto implants and abutments.

Abstract

Objective:
To analyze the growth characteristics in patients assigned to wait and scan in vestibular schwannomas (VSs) during long-term follow-up.

Abstract
The primary goals of surgery of tympanomastoid paragangliomas (TMPs) are tumor eradication and hearing preservation.

Abstract
Objective: To define the role of wait-and-scan and radiotherapy (RT) in the treatment of temporal bone paragangliomas and to review the literature on the outcomes of RT as a treatment modality.

Abstract
Objective:This study aimed to report our experience in the management of patients with intraoperatively diagnosed intracranial facial nerve schwannomas (FNSs) and propose a decision-making strategy.

Abstract
Objective: The authors evaluated the behavior of residual tumors and facial nerve outcomes after incomplete excision of vestibular schwannomas (VSs).
