Filter by:What value is given to MRI diffusion and perfusion sequences in the diagnosis of parotid tumors? Is a fine needle aspiration associated with MRI systematically necessary? The aim of the research is to study the performance of diffusion and perfusion MRI sequences in the diagnosis of parotid tumors on a large series of cases.
The parotid has a close relationship with the extra temporal course of the facial nerve. The study aimed to evaluate the accuracy and safety of trident landmark during superficial parotidectomy in the identification of the facial nerve trunk.
Phase 1/2 study of ALM-488 to highlight nerves in patients undergoing head & neck surgery.
The purpose of this study is determine salivary gland disposition of d-limonene, the primary component in citrus peel and a common dietary supplement. Salivary gland tissue and saliva will be collected to determine concentration of d-limonene and its metabolites in these tissues.
In this study, the investigators will evaluate the clinical usefulness of 3 dimensional double echo steady state MRI (3D-DESS MRI) for functional preservation of the facial nerve during parotidectomy. Preoperative 3D-DESS MRI imaging can provide information about the anatomical relationship between the tumor and the facial nerve in the parotid gland. Because the risk of postoperative facial weakness is relatively high in the deep-seated parotid tumors, the investigators will exclude the patients with the superficial parotid tumors (determined by preoperative CT or US) and only include the patients with deep seated parotid tumors in this trial. The main outcome of our study is the incidence of immediate postoperative facial weakness, and the secondary outcome is the incidence of facial weakness at postoperative 6 months.
This is a protocol to govern the prospective trial of facial nerve monitoring in patients undergoing parotidectomy with an eye towards interpreting if the facial nerve monitor provides useful information to operating surgeons and if the information provided by the facial nerve monitor can predict degrees of postoperative facial nerve paresis. Additionally, the study will determine if performing daily facial rehabilitation exercises provides a benefit in reducing time to recovery of temporary post-parotidectomy paresis.
The aim of this study was to determine the histopathological results of parotid tumors and postoperative complications after partial superficial or total parotidectomy with facial nerve dissection and superficial musculoaponeurotic system reconstruction.
The aim of the study was to explore whether human acellular dermal matrix (ADM) implantation could prevent infraauricular depressed deformities and Frey's syndrome following total parotidectomy.
To determine a safe and effective doses of two biologic drugs, erlotinib and bevacizumab when used with chemotherapy and radiation therapy in advanced head and neck cancer
