It is one of the most common procedures in otological surgery. Since Wullstein described tympanoplasty, the microscope has been a widely used surgical tool in otological surgery. Transcanal endoscopic ear surgery (TEES) has come to the forefront as an alternative option due to the various limitations of microscopic surgery and the development of otological surgical techniques. When reviewing the types and tecniques of grafts used in tympanoplasty in the current literature, it is clear that the ideal graft material and tecnique to meet all needs has not yet been found. The objective of this study is to describe a novel graft technique, a modification of the cartilage-perichondrium graft obtained from tragal cartilage, which is believed to represent an optimal solution for the desired graft technique at the highest level.</p><p><strong>Material&method: </strong>The study included 40 patients who underwent endoscopic annular chondroperichondrial tympanoplasty at Hatay Mustafa Kemal University Hospital between 2015 and 2022. All patients underwent clinical otological examination and pure tone audiometry before and after surgery. Hearing results were expressed as pure tone mean air-bone gap (ABG) at 4 frequencies (500,1000,2000,4000 Hz). For all operations, the primary surgeon was the second author.

The tumor mass is not planar but rather grows three-dimensionally, so surgeons should have the knowledge of the third dimension, which is the depth of invasion (DOI). Nowadays advanced techniques have been introduced to measure the preoperative depth of invasion of the primary tumor, i.e., ultrasonography (USG) scans. Ultrasonography (USG) scan is still considered a preoperative gold standard to measure DOI because of its advantages of radiation-free imaging and excellent tumor visualization, economical, non-invasive, and real-time images that can be obtained spontaneously. The primary objective of the study was to evaluate and compare pre-operative ultrasonic depth of invasion (DOI) with histopathological DOI in gingivobuccal sulcus squamous cell carcinoma with neck nodal metastasis.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Materials and methodology: &lt;/strong&gt;This is a single-center prospective study including 51 patients reporting to our unit from November 2019 to November 2021 who were subjected to surgery. Preoperative USG evaluation of lesion was performed on all patients which recorded DOI.Similarly, postoperatively, all the resected specimens were examined for the histopathological DOI.The value obtained preoperatively from USG examinations was then compared with histopathological DOI postoperatively. Correlation coefficient analysis was studied using a scatter diagram by Karl Pearson and a dependent t-pair test.

DOI measured preoperatively from the USG scan in these cases ranged from 6 mm to 37 mm with an average of 19.41 mm. Histopathological DOI measured in all these patients ranged from 1.3 mm to 16 mm with an average of 7.26 mm. A statistical significance was noted between preoperatively measured DOI from the USG scan and postoperatively (histologically) measured DOI with a p-value of 0.0316.

This study aimed to assess the survival outcomes and identify optimal candidates for PTR in HNSCC with distant metastasis at initial diagnosis.</p><p><strong>Materials and methods: </strong>Patients initially diagnosed with metastatic HNSCC between 2010 and 2021 were collected from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. A Cox proportional hazards regression model was used to assess prognostic factors for survival. Survival outcomes were calculated with the Kaplan-Meier method and compared by the log-rank tests.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>A total of 2740 patients with newly metastatic HNSCC were extracted, among whom 403 (14.7%) received PTR. Lung, distant lymph node (DLN), and bone were the most common sites of metastasis. PTR was associated with improved overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) in the whole cohort (HR = 0.653, 95%CI 0.551-0.774 for OS; HR = 0.621, 95%CI 0.515-0.748 for CSS). When focusing on different metastatic patterns, PTR conferred a significant survival benefit for patients with bone, lung, liver and DLN involvement (all p < 0.05). Among patients with single-organ metastases, those who underwent surgical resection showed substantially favorable OS and CSS (both p < 0.001). Furthermore, subgroup analyses suggested that patients with younger age (< 65 years), low histological grade (grade I-II), and stage N0-2 disease might benefit from PTR.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>This study demonstrated that PTR exhibited a favorable prognostic value and held promise for the intervention of carefully-selected patients with metastatic HNSCC, although long-term prospective studies were warranted.</p>","PeriodicalId":11952,"journal":{"name":"European Archives of Oto-Rhino-Laryngology","volume":" ","pages":"3669-3681"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143585107","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
