    Abstract Social habits such as smoking and drinking alcohol are well-known causative agents for oral and oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC/OPSCC). Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a known causative agent for OPSCC. However, we often encounter patients with no identifiable risk factors. There is growing evidence of the role of occupational carcinogens in the pathogenesis of oral cancer. The aim of this study therefore was to identify any occupational carcinogens linked to oral cancer. We carried out a systematic review of the literature using PubMed, EMBASE, and Medline, along with a retrospective review of patients treated in a regional unit over 25 years. Occupations were classified based on the UK Standard of Classification 2020. Data analysis was completed using the chi-squared test. A total of 17 papers met the inclusion criteria for review. In our retrospective study a total of 874 patients were identified of whom 31% were blue-collar workers, 32.8% were white-collar workers, 20.2% were unemployed/housewives, and 16% workers in other occupations. The majority of blue-collar workers were in the construction industry and had maximum exposure to hydrocarbons and exhaust fumes. The aetiology of oral and oropharyngeal SCC is multifactorial and there is no consensus on the role of occupational carcinogens. We showcase our patient cohort and discuss the occupational exposures that appear to make them susceptible to OSCC and OPSCC. Further multicentre studies are required to enable us to understand fully the pathogenesis of oral cancer and help us to inform relevant organisations, the aim being to reduce the incidence of occupation-related cancer.

    Abstract The concept of neck dissection was introduced by Crile more than a century ago. Since then, multiple modifications have been adopted to ensure the preservation of vital structures. With the new era of minimal access surgery, the incorporation of laparoscopic, endoscopic, and robotic surgery is becoming the new normal. Over the years we have carried out neck dissections using minimal access incisions. Although there is no definitive answer about the average nodal yield required in selective or modified neck dissections, it has been reported that the average nodal yield of more than 18 is associated with better survival rate. In this publication we share the results of our three-year retrospective study of 56 patients who underwent minimal access neck dissection. We look at the nodal yield, assess operating duration, complications, outcome with a three-year follow up from a single unit. Our results demonstrate that minimal access neck dissection should be considered in head and neck lymphadenectomies.

    Abstract Ageing is a biological process that results from changes at a cellular level, particularly modification of mRNA. The face is affected by the same physiological process and results in skeletal, muscular, and cutaneous ageing; ligamentous attenuation, descent of fat, and ageing of the appendages. I describe these changes on a structural and clinical basis and summarise possible solutions for a rejuvenation surgeon.

    Abstract Orthognathic surgery is a well-recognized method to correct dentofacial deformities. The main goal of orthognathic surgery is to improve soft tissue change. Soft tissue changes to the nose have been well documented. Simultaneous rhinoplasty during orthognathic surgery can be performed to correct existing inherent nasal deformities and also the unfavorable changes that arose from the maxillary surgery. Challenges for concurrent nasal surgery with jaw surgery include preoperative, perioperative, and postoperative which can be overcome with meticulous planning and experience. In complex cases, rhinoplasty can be staged in the last 6 months after the orthognathic surgery.

    Abstract The area of the upper face occupies about one third of the surface area of the whole face. The anatomical landmarks involve the forehead, brow, glabella and the upper lids. Gravitational and intrinsic changes, as well as familial problems affect the aesthetics of the upper face. The author describes the anatomy and pathophysiology of ageing and the importance of making a correct diagnosis. Surgical and non surgical solutions are discussed. The concept of the beneficial effect of antioxidants such as curcumin is introduced. The efficacy of non ablation laser in dermal rejuvenation is explained. The author aims to impart a thorough understanding of the different surgical and non-surgical options for rejuventating the upper face to achieve an unoperated outcome with a healthy looking forehead.
