    Abstract The purpose of this study was to compare the three-dimensional (3D) operating exoscope (OE) with the conventional operating microscope (OM) in head and neck reconstruction. A retrospective cohort study was performed including 50 consecutive patients with no history of previous surgery or irradiation (32 male, 18 female; mean age 59.2 ± 13.3 years), who underwent free flap head and neck reconstruction using a 3D OE (n = 25; OE group) or conventional OM (n = 25; OM group). The mean total operative time was 8.0 ± 1.53 h in the OE group and 7.6 ± 1.52 h in the OM group (P = 0.86). The median (interquartile range) anastomosis time was 78.0 (63.0-91.5) minutes in the OE group and 90.0 (75.5-115.0) minutes in the OM group (P = 0.06). The final free flap survival rate was 100%. Only seven patients experienced a free flap reconstruction-related complication, and they were similarly distributed between the two groups (four in the OE group, three in the OM group; P = 0.68). Secondary outcomes (length of hospital stay, tracheostomy dependence, feeding tube dependence) were comparable in the two groups (P > 0.05). The 3D OE is a viable alternative to the conventional OM for performing standard head and neck free flap reconstructive procedures.

    Abstract Purpose: To analyze the oncological outcomes and patterns of recurrence of patients with locoregionally advanced oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) who underwent neo-adjuvant chemotherapy (NCT) with subsequent transoral robotic surgery (TORS).
    Methods: A single-center retrospective cohort study was performed, including 198 patients (mean age: 58.6, SD: 9.2). The primary outcome was disease-free survival (DFS).
    Results: The median follow-up time was 26.5 months (IQR: 16.0-52.0). Estimated DFS rates (95 % CI) at 1 and 3 years were 86.6 % (81.9-91.7), and 81.4 % (75.7-87.6), respectively. Estimated DSS rates (95 % CI) at 1 and 3 years were 96.7 % (94.1-99.3), and 92.6 % (88.4-97.0), respectively. Estimated OS rates (95 % CI) at 1 and 3 years were 96.2 % (93.4-99.0), and 88.7 % (83.4-94.2), respectively. A total of 31 (15.6 %) patients showed a disease relapse after a median time of 8 months (IQR: 4.0-12.0), but only 12 (6 %) patients died of the disease during the study period.
    Conclusions: This study demonstrates that NCT and TORS can obtain excellent tumor control and survival in locoregionally advanced OPSCC. NCT might reduce the need for adjuvant treatments, and randomized clinical trials should be conducted to better define this aspect.

    Abstract The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to analyse the literature on the infrahyoid myocutaneous flap (IHMCF) and evaluate its clinical outcomes. The MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and Scopus databases were searched (inception to December 31, 2021). Meta-analyses were then conducted to estimate the overall rates of partial flap loss, total flap loss, salivary fistula, and surgical revision. The 21 studies that met the inclusion criteria included 768 patients undergoing head and neck reconstruction with 773 IHMCF. The oral cavity (77.7%) and oropharynx (13.0%) were the most reconstructed sites. The meta-analyses estimated a pooled partial flap loss rate of 10.4% (99% confidence interval (CI) 5.4-16.7%), total loss rate of 1.8% (99% CI 0.8-3.2%), salivary fistula rate of 3.0% (99% CI 1.3-5.3%), and surgical revision rate of 1.9% (99% CI 0.7-3.7%). Fast flap harvesting and low donor site morbidity were other flap features. Previous thyroid surgery or neck dissection and advanced lymph nodal stage were considered contraindications to IHMCF reconstruction by most authors, while prior neck radiotherapy was reported as a relative contraindication. This pedicled cervical flap is a versatile and reliable reconstructive option for medium-sized head and neck defects. Careful preoperative assessment of the neck condition allows for its safe use.

    Abstract Background: The recently developed da Vinci single-port (SP) system offers potential advantages in maneuverability within narrower surgical spaces. This study aims to compare intra- and post-operative outcomes, technical advantages, and limitations of transoral resections using the da Vinci SP and da Vinci Xi systems for oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC).
    Methods: A single-center retrospective cohort study included patients with OPSCC who underwent transoral robotic surgery (TORS) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NCT). Data on pre-operative variables, intraoperative data, postoperative complications, and functional outcomes were collected.
    Results: A total of 209 patients (males: 175; mean age: 59.0 ± 9.3) were included (SP: n = 136; Xi: n = 73). A significantly lower docking time was measured for the SP group (5.7 ± 2.5 min vs. 10.0 ± 4.4 min; p <.001). Similarly, the console time was reduced for the SP group though not reaching statistical significance (76.3 ± 30.7 min vs. 88.1 ± 36.9 min; p =.06). A greater proportion of patients showed wide negative resection margins in the SP group (71 % vs. 56 %; p =.10), although not statistically significant. No significant differences were observed in complication rates or postoperative functional outcomes.
    Discussion: This study demonstrates the safety and efficacy of the da Vinci SP system in oropharyngeal surgery, with potential advantages in terms of reduced docking and console times. The findings suggest that the SP system offers improved maneuverability and instrument placement compared to the da Vinci Xi system.
