In Reply We thank Drs Bsisu and Bsisu for dedicating their time to comment on our recently published retrospective cross-sectional study. Since publishing our article, we have had many informal inquiries regarding the issue of postural effects from cell phone use so we thank the authors for their informative letter. We fully agree that the nature of our study prevented us from assessing the postural effects of cell phone use and the presence of additional long-term neck pain. However, we would like...

In Reply We appreciate the interest of Sapru and Nanda in our work comparing swallowing outcomes by primary treatment strategy (radiotherapy [RT] vs transoral robotic surgery [TORS]) among patients with low-intermediate risk oropharyngeal cancer (OPC). The authors correctly highlight that the best swallowing outcomes were observed in the subgroup of patients treated with TORS as a single modality and similar prevalence of dysphagia was observed in all other groups including those treated with primary...

Optimising patients pre-operatively reduces the chance of complications. This may be achieved by preconditioning. Thermal preconditioning refers to the supraphysiological heating of organisms or specific organs prior to an environmental insult. This review explores the current application and efficacy of thermal preconditioning for surgery.

Background: Management of pediatric facial defects can be challenging, as reattachment of large composite grafts is usually unsuccessful. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) has been researched to augment composite graft survival, but clinical use for this application remains anecdotal. The authors present their successful experience managing select cases with large composite grafts and HBO as an adjunct.Methods: A retrospective chart review identified children presenting with facial defects managed...

BACKGROUND: The cost effectiveness of combining vascularized lymph node transfer (VLNT) with autologous breast reconstruction has not been established. Herein we describe the use of Markov modeling to evaluate the cost utility of VLNT with delayed autologous breast reconstruction for patients with breast cancer related lymphedema (BCRL).METHODS: We conducted a cost effectiveness analysis using a Markov model with microsimulation. The characteristics and associated life expectancy of the hypothetical...
