    Abstract The aim of our study was to better define the role of sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) in high-risk cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (cSCCHN). A systematic review and meta-analysis was performed according to the PRISMA statement. Seven-hundred and five patients were included from 20 studies. The pooled SLN identification rate was 98.8% (95%CI: 97.0-99.8). The median number of SLN excised was 3.6 (n = 371, 95%CI: 2.0-4.4). The pooled SLNB positive rate and cumulative regional recurrence rate (RRR) in negative SLNB were 5.6% (95%CI: 2.6-9.6) and 2.9% (95%CI: 0.5-7.2), respectively. The high SLN identification rate demonstrates SLNB feasibility in cSCCHN. The low SLNB positive rate and the relatively high RRR raise some doubts concerning its clinical utility. Further studies are mandatory to define predictors of lymph node metastases able to better select patients that may benefit from a SLNB.

    Abstract Background: The high-definition 3D exoscope is an innovative and promising tool that was recently introduced in the clinical practice. It may be used during open surgical procedures to enhance the ability to perform precise dissection of fine structures. We describe our preliminary experience with the 3D exoscope in thyroid surgery, discussing potential advantages of this system.
    Methods: A high-definition 3D exoscope (3D VITOM
    Results: The 3D exoscope was used in three patients without significant intra-operative delay or complications. Both thyroidectomy and central compartment dissection were performed. The 3D exoscope allows to perform precise dissection in the identification and preservation of the recurrent laryngeal nerve and the parathyroid glands.
    Conclusions: 3D exoscope-assisted thyroid surgery seems to be feasible and safe. Further studies should be encouraged to analyze potential clinical benefit in the post-operative period.

    Abstract Background: Recently, many studies have investigated the role of tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) in carcinogenesis, highlighting its relation to both tumor regression and progression. In particular, the "inflammatory system", made of innate and adaptive immune cells, interacts with cancer cells and their surrounding stroma. In this setting, the aim of this review is to summarize the current literature regarding the TIME of major salivary gland carcinomas (MSGCs), with particular attention on the characteristics and prognostic role of tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), the mechanisms that lead to TILs exhaustion and the important additional immune infiltrating factors that help SGC progression or remission.
    Methods: A comprehensive literature search was performed concerning published articles on the role of TIME in MSGCs.
    Results: In this work we summarize the advancing knowledge on TIME in SGCs by demonstrating the key prognostic and/or predictive value of specific immune features.
    Conclusion: From the analysis of the current 'status of the art' it clearly emerges a need for precise, unambiguous phenotyping of immune cell populations, as well as a more thorough understanding of the frequencies and interactions of multiple immune cell types inside the TIME and their spatial localization (intratumoral vs. stromal).

    Abstract Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) has recently undergone a significant paradigm shift, moving from a phenotypical classification towards an "endotype-based" definition that places more emphasis on clinical and therapeutic aspects. Similar to other airway diseases, like asthma, most cases of CRS in developed countries exhibit a dysregulated type-2 immune response and related cytokines. Consequently, the traditional distinction between upper and lower airways has been replaced by a "united airway" perspective. Additionally, type-2 related disorders extend beyond respiratory boundaries, encompassing conditions beyond the airways, such as atopic dermatitis. This necessitates a multidisciplinary approach. Moreover, consideration of possible systemic implications is crucial, particularly in relation to sleep-related breathing diseases like Obstructive Sleep Apnoea Syndrome (OSAS) and the alteration of systemic inflammatory mediators such as nitric oxide. The trends in epidemiological, economic, and social burden are progressively increasing worldwide, indicating syndemic characteristics. In light of these insights, this narrative review aims to present the latest evidence on respiratory type-2 related disorders, with a specific focus on CRS while promoting a comprehensive perspective on the "united airways". It also introduces a novel concept: viewing these conditions as a multiorgan, systemic, and syndemic disease.

    Abstract Background: Anti-glaucoma eye drops have been investigated due to their production of fibrotic changes on the conjunctival surface, undermining the functioning of the upper lacrimal drainage system. We aimed to assess whether these effects may impair the effectiveness of endoscopic endonasal dacryocystorhinostomy (EE-DCR).
    Methods: This is a single-center observational retrospective study on EE-DCR via a posterior approach. Resolution of epiphora and dacryocystitis were analyzed after 1 (T1) and 6-months (T2) from surgery. Surgical success was defined as anatomical (patency at irrigation, no recurring dacryocystitis) or complete (zeroing of Munk score).
    Results: Twenty patients (32 sides) were enrolled. Preoperatively, 93.75% (
    Conclusions: Despite the chronic uptake of anti-glaucoma eye drops, EE-DCR guaranteed high rates of clinical relief from epiphora and remarkable decreases in the rates of recurrent dacryocystitis.
