Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery, Medical University of Innsbruck, 6020 Innsbruck, Austria.
Background: Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP) and expansion sphincter pharyngoplasty (ESP) are two standard surgical procedures for the treatment of snoring and obstructive sleep apnea. In a retrospective clinical trial, we compared the two surgical techniques regarding objective sleep parameters and patients' reported outcomes.
Materials And Methods: Patients treated with UPPP or ESP between January 2016 and February 2020 were included in this retrospective clinical trial.

Department of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, University Health Network, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
Background: Diagnostic test properties for PET-CT in the setting of carcinoma of unknown primary (CUP) of the head and neck have been previously reported in the setting of limited pathologic correlation resulting in biased reporting. With the advent of transoral robotic techniques such as lingual tonsillectomy, the ability to identify small volume primaries has improved. This study aims to investigate the diagnostic test properties of PET-CT for carcinomas of unknown primary (CUP) of the head and neck.

Introduction: This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE)-targeted surgery to identify the locations of obstruction and to determine how DISE findings influence whether the standard of care surgery, adenotonsillectomy, is performed.

Objectives: Due to its generally-poor prognosis and varied clinical presentation, cervical cancer of unknown primary (CUP) poses particular challenges for clinical and imaging diagnosis. Differential diagnoses of CUP syndrome may also include lateral cervical cysts. When a benign neck cyst is initially suspected, squamous cell carcinoma is often diagnosed after receiving histopathology.

Objective: This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of endovascular embolization in the treatment of post-tonsillectomy pseudoaneurysms.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of four consecutive adults who experienced secondary post-tonsillectomy hemorrhage (PTH) due to pseudoaneurysms. Hemoglobin loss was identified to access the blood loss of patients.
