The prevalence of extensive skin cancers increases with the aging of the population. Surgical management is the gold standard of curative treatment while morbidity is not negligible. There are few data in the literature concerning extensive head and neck cutaneous cancers. The aim of this article is to report our experience of curative management of head and neck extensive skin cancers.

Extensive head and neck skin cancers: Carcinologic surgery as a cornerstone of treatment.

There is no established consensus on the postoperative follow-up from which the aesthetic and functional outcomes of rhinoseptoplasty are considered as stable.

Minimum follow-up for closed rhinoseptoplasties.

With the increasing demand for rhinoplasty procedures, evaluating outcomes becomes crucial for improving surgical procedures. Nevertheless, there is a limited number of extensive studies exclusively dedicated to closed rhinoseptoplasty (RSP), emphasizing the evaluation of both aesthetic and functional dimensions. This study aims to assess the aesthetic and functional effectiveness of exclusively closed primary RSP procedures and to identify subgroups at risk of less favorable outcomes, providing valuable insights for preoperative planning. The study incorporates the widely used Nasal Obstruction Symptoms Evaluation (NOSE) and Rhinoplasty Outcome Evaluation (ROE) scores, making it the most comprehensive research to date in terms of sample size and subgroup analysis for closed approaches.

Evaluation of the aesthetic and functional effectiveness of primary closed rhinoseptoplasty: A study of 189 cases.

While challenging, early diagnosis and appropriate management of retrobulbar hematoma (RBH) with orbital compartment syndrome (OCS) may improve patient prognosis. Our objective was to characterize OCS caused by RBH to establish clinically relevant management recommendations. A retrospective monocentric study was performed between 2018 and 2024 to evaluate the management and visual outcomes of patients treated in our department for RBH with OCS. In addition, to compare our results, a scoping literature review was performed to include all patients with the same characteristics (RBH with OCS). Our study involved a cohort of patients managed in our department for post-traumatic RBH with OCS. Visual acuity was assessed by the ability to count fingers at 1 m. In total, 3229 patients were managed in our department for a radiologically confirmed orbital fracture between 2018 and 2024. Of these, 81 patients (2.5 %) with a post-traumatic RBH were identified, including 14 (17 %) with OCS. Surgical decompression was most frequently realized for patients with an improvement in final visual acuity (recovery group; 72 %), compared with those without improvement or presence of blindness (sequelae group; 60 %). The median time between diagnosis and management was shorter in the recovery group compared with the sequelae group (6 h [20 minutes-12 h] versus 12 h [3-33h], respectively). These findings were supported by previously published data, with 81 reported RBH cases associated with OCS. To assess these data, an analysis of cases published in the literature between January 1950 and December 2023 was performed. Overall, 93 cases of post-traumatic and/or postoperative RBH were identified in 32 articles. Our study confirmed that OCS with visual acuity impairment caused by RBH is a maxillo-facial emergency, mainly occurring following orbital fractures. In cases of impaired visual acuity or relative afferent pupillary defect (RAPD), lateral canthotomy combined with cantholysis remains a simple procedure to reduce intraorbital pressure. Moreover, surgical decompression under general anesthesia should be performed emergently, ideally within 6 h following the trauma. However, visual recovery is possible even if surgery is performed beyond 6 h. Finally, visual acuity should be checked every 2 h for at least 24 h following orbital fracture surgery.

Diagnosis and management of orbital compartment syndrome caused by retrobulbar hematoma following orbital fractures.

Self-reported penicillin allergy frequently limits optimal antibiotic prescribing in maxillofacial surgery. The PEN-FAST score (Penicillin allergy, within the last five years, Anaphylaxis/angioedema, Severe cutaneous adverse reaction, Treatment required for allergy episode) is a validated clinical decision rule used to identify patients at low risk of true penicillin allergy and to guide safe penicillin reintroduction.

Penicillin reintroduction using the PEN-FAST score reduces infectious complications in maxillofacial surgery.

Virtual Reality (VR) has emerged as a promising tool for enhancing medical education, particularly in surgical and anatomical training. However, its impact on the teaching of maxillofacial trauma remains underexplored. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of 3D VR-based visualization with 3D standard visualization in diagnosing maxillofacial trauma.
