    Abstract Background: The incidence of thyroid carcinoma has been increasing worldwide and surgery is the primary treatment. Central compartment dissection of the neck is a very delicate procedure given the risks of recurrent laryngeal nerve injury and hypoparathyroidism.
    Methods: This paper gives a detailed description of this surgical technique in a patient affected by papillary carcinoma of the thyroid gland, supported by highly representative iconographic materials from a tertiary department.
    Results: A stepwise description is provided, along with high-quality pictures and specific tips and tricks. Although neck dissection is a well-codified procedure, the fine details of this surgical technique are not currently available and are still the prerogative of the expert surgeon.
    Conclusion: The central neck compartment contains several vulnerable structures; damage to these structures would affect patients' lives, possibly permanently. Anatomical knowledge and standardisation are needed for all surgeons, particularly new surgeons (such as residents) who cannot rely simply on experience.

    Abstract Purpose: The tracheoesophageal puncture for the voice prosthesis (VP) placement is the recognized gold standard in post-laryngectomy voice rehabilitation. Despite the development of specific intraoperative techniques, a subset of patients will suffer from poor functional outcomes due to pharyngoesophageal spasms (PES). This paper evaluates the functional outcomes after transcutaneous botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A) infiltration for PES with a videofluoroscopy-guided technique.
    Methods: Since 2022, eight consecutive patients with VP and affected by PES were treated with BTX-A injection by a standard videofluoroscopic guided technique at the European Institute of Oncology, IRCCS (IEO) in Milan. A lidocaine test was performed pre-operatively to evaluate the potential effect of chemical neurectomy. All patients with positive lidocaine tests were injected with 50 IU of BTX-A (Allergan, Irvine, CA) according to the sites marked during the videofluoroscopy. Reported symptoms (VHI, SECEL), perceptual (INFVo), aerodynamic (MPT) and manometric parameters were collected before and after treatment.
    Results: In all cases, BTX-A was performed as an outpatient procedure without complications. For seven patients, only one BTX-A injection was needed, while one patient required a re-injection. Subjective and perceptive improvement after BTX-A was significant for VHI, SECEL and INFVo. MPT showed significant improvement after a chemical neurectomy. After a mean follow-up of 6 months, all patients maintained a good TES quality.
    Conclusion: The videofluoroscopic guided BTX-A injection of the pharyngoesophageal tract showed to be a feasible and reproducible technique in all cases. The pharyngoesophageal videofluoroscopy allows defining of patients' anatomical landmarks that help the surgeon to perform a homogeneous injection, empowered by post-injection massage.

    Abstract Purpose: Salvage surgery is still the best therapeutic option for resectable recurrent oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (rOPSCC). Transoral robotic surgery may potentially reduce the morbidity of standard open approaches. The aim of the study is to present oncological and functional outcomes of a monocentric experience in salvage transoral robotic surgery.
    Methods: We performed a single-center retrospective analysis of patients submitted to transoral robotic salvage surgery with or without neck dissection for cT1-3 rOPSCC. We investigated complication rate, survival outcomes (Overall Survival, Disease Specific Survival, Loco-Regional Recurrence Free Survival) and functional outcomes (tracheal tube and/or gastrostomy dependence).
    Results: Sixty-one patients were included in the analysis. No major complications or perioperative deaths were recorded. The estimated 2-year OS was 76.7%, DSS 81.8% and LRRFS 50.5%. In multivariable analysis rpT, PNI (perineural infiltration) and HPV-positivity were significantly associated with LRRFS (Hazard Ratios: T3 vs T1 6.43, PNI yes vs no 4.19, HPV+ yes vs no 2.63). At last follow up, 97% of patients were tracheal tube-free, while 93% were gastrostomy-free.
    Conclusion: Transoral robotic salvage surgery is a successful treatment in selected patients affected by rOPSCC because it grants good oncologic and functional outcomes.

    Abstract Background: The aim of this article is to describe the Riedel-Mosher’s surgical technique and identify its current role in the endoscopic endonasal era based on the experience of a tertiary care medical centre. It also provides a brief excursus on materials available for frontal reconstruction.
    Methods: A retrospective review of patients submitted to Riedel-Mosher’s procedure from 2005 to 2018 at a single tertiary care centre was carried out. Details of the surgical technique along with data on frontal reconstruction timing and materials used were collected.
    Results: A total of 21 patients (16 males and 5 females) underwent the Riedel-Mosher’s procedure. The age of the patients ranged from 15 to 84 years. The underlying pathology was represented mainly by chronic osteitis of the frontal bone (17 cases), followed by benign tumours (3 cases) and malignancy (1 case). Perioperative complications occurred in 3 patients. Cranioplasty was carried out only on 16 cases and delayed by an average time of 10 months. Materials for reconstruction included titanium, ceramic, plastic and free flap .
    Conclusions: Nowadays, Riedel-Mosher’s procedure is still indicated in selected cases of benign and malignant pathologies of the frontal sinus and/or frontal bone. Surgical expertise is key to approach the frontal sinus safely. Its reconstruction requires proper planning and a wide variety of materials to perform it is now available.
