Assessment of Surgical Competences for Neck Dissection and Total Laryngectomy on Revascularized Cadaver Models: Onco-Neck-Score and Onco-Larynx-Score.

In surgical simulation, evaluation tools are necessary to allow the overall and specific level of each gesture to be assessed for learners, to allow active feedback and follow-up. The aim of this study was to create and validate a scale for the assessment of competences for neck dissection (ND) and total laryngectomy (TL) in head and neck surgical oncology simulation specific for revascularized cadavers' models. Two independent scales were created for ND and TL based on a two-round Delphi method. The scales were used during ND and TL simulation sessions on SimLife® (Symedis, Poitiers, France) model. Surgical steps were scored by 2 independent observers. To assess its ease of use, a questionnaire was answered by senior surgeons (SS) at the end of the sessions. Fifteen items were included in the final version for ND scale and 20 for TL scale. The results of 14 lateral ND and 8TL were included. The mean score was higher for SS (69 ± 6.4; 87.5 ± 8.5) than for residents (36.5 ± 11; 57.5 ± 13.2) for ND (P = 0.0006) and TL (P = 0.028) respectively. Six SS strongly agreed that this tool had a positive impact on resident training with stepwise feedback and accurately represented their competences. We developed a pedagogic tool built to assess surgical competence for head and neck surgical oncology on revascularized cadaver models. This tool has a good construct validity thanks to the expert reviewing with Delphi method and appears to have fine acceptability by the SS.

Evaluating the Accuracy of ChatGPT in Common Patient Questions Regarding HPV+ Oropharyngeal Carcinoma.

Large language model (LLM)-based chatbots such as ChatGPT have been publicly available and increasingly utilized by the general public since late 2022. This study sought to investigate ChatGPT responses to common patient questions regarding Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) positive oropharyngeal cancer (OPC). This was a prospective, multi-institutional study, with data collected from high volume institutions that perform >50 transoral robotic surgery cases per year. The 100 most recent discussion threads including the term "HPV" on the American Cancer Society's Cancer Survivors Network's Head and Neck Cancer public discussion board were reviewed. The 11 most common questions were serially queried to ChatGPT 3.5; answers were recorded. A survey was distributed to fellowship trained head and neck oncologic surgeons at 3 institutions to evaluate the responses. A total of 8 surgeons participated in the study. For questions regarding HPV contraction and transmission, ChatGPT answers were scored as clinically accurate and aligned with consensus in the head and neck surgical oncology community 84.4% and 90.6% of the time, respectively. For questions involving treatment of HPV+ OPC, ChatGPT was clinically accurate and aligned with consensus 87.5% and 91.7% of the time, respectively. For questions regarding the HPV vaccine, ChatGPT was clinically accurate and aligned with consensus 62.5% and 75% of the time, respectively. When asked about circulating tumor DNA testing, only 12.5% of surgeons thought responses were accurate or consistent with consensus. ChatGPT 3.5 performed poorly with questions involving evolving therapies and diagnostics-thus, caution should be used when using a platform like ChatGPT 3.5 to assess use of advanced technology. Patients should be counseled on the importance of consulting their surgeons to receive accurate and up to date recommendations, and use LLM's to augment their understanding of these important health-related topics.

Exploring the Practical Applications of Artificial Intelligence, Deep Learning, and Machine Learning in Maxillofacial Surgery: A Comprehensive Analysis of Published Works.

Artificial intelligence (AI), deep learning (DL), and machine learning (ML) are computer, machine, and engineering systems that mimic human intelligence to devise procedures. These technologies also provide opportunities to advance diagnostics and planning in human medicine and dentistry. The purpose of this literature review was to ascertain the applicability and significance of AI and to highlight its uses in maxillofacial surgery. Our primary inclusion criterion was an original paper written in English focusing on the use of AI, DL, or ML in maxillofacial surgery. The sources were PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science, and the queries were made on the 31 December 2023. The search strings used were "artificial intelligence maxillofacial surgery", "machine learning maxillofacial surgery", and "deep learning maxillofacial surgery". Following the removal of duplicates, the remaining search results were screened by three independent operators to minimize the risk of bias. A total of 324 publications from 1992 to 2023 were finally selected. These were calculated according to the year of publication with a continuous increase (excluding 2012 and 2013) and R2 = 0.9295. Generally, in orthognathic dentistry and maxillofacial surgery, AI and ML have gained popularity over the past few decades. When we included the keywords "planning in maxillofacial surgery" and "planning in orthognathic surgery", the number significantly increased to 7535 publications. The first publication appeared in 1965, with an increasing trend (excluding 2014-2018), with an R2 value of 0.8642. These technologies have been found to be useful in diagnosis and treatment planning in head and neck surgical oncology, cosmetic and aesthetic surgery, and oral pathology. In orthognathic surgery, they have been utilized for diagnosis, treatment planning, assessment of treatment needs, and cephalometric analyses, among other applications. This review confirms that the current use of AI and ML in maxillofacial surgery is focused mainly on evaluating digital diagnostic methods, especially radiology, treatment plans, and postoperative results. However, as these technologies become integrated into maxillofacial surgery and robotic surgery in the head and neck region, it is expected that they will be gradually utilized to plan and comprehensively evaluate the success of maxillofacial surgeries.

208 Head and Neck Surgical Oncology Handover Audit Using ‘RAAAIDDSS’ Method

Abstract Background Patient handover is vital in ensuring patient safety and quality of patient care, in line with Royal College of Surgeons Guidance of Safe Handover (2007). ‘RAAAIDDSSS’ method stands for resection (surgery), airway, anticoagulant, antibiotics, intake, drain, Doppler, serology, scans, structure (plans). It shows comprehensive clinical updates for planning best management, ensuring smooth flow of activity and reducing morbidity. This method is ideal as our surgical patients often have altered airway anatomy and airway plans and consequently variable feeding routes. Aim To audit the compliance of RAAAIDDSSS method. Method This is a prospective audit in Head and Neck Surgery Department of University College London Hospital (UCLH), done within 4 weeks across June-July 2023, with sample (n=100) for first cycle and (n=81) for second cycle. The format was implemented in handover sheet and case presentation was run according to this method. Results First cycle showed good compliance to RAAAIDDSSS handover method. The least compliant component is ‘structure’ which showed only 62%. Results were presented in grand ward round. Second cycle showed significant improvement. Almost all components showed 100% compliance, except for the ‘intake’, which was 90%. Overall shows positive compliance to this handover method. Conclusions UCLH Head and Neck Surgery has strict compliance with the RAAIDDSSS method. This audit brings significant positive impacts and changes to clinical practice in terms of patient safety, service efficiency and quality of patient care. This audit also holds valuable clinical value and opens doors for further audits as well as project expansion regionally and nationally.

Recurrence Patterns of Advanced Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Head and Neck.

The objective of this study was to describe risk factors and recurrence patterns that can guide the creation of evidence-based surveillance guidelines for advanced cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck. This was a single-institution retrospective case series. High-volume academic head and neck surgical oncology practice. Patients who underwent surgery for cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck staged Brigham and Women's Hospital T2b and T3 from 2003 to 2023 were reviewed. Patient demographics, clinicopathologic history, cancer data, treatment, and outcomes were abstracted. Disease-free survival and risk factors for recurrence were described. A total of 183 patients were included. Fifty-six (30.6%) experienced recurrence. This included local recurrence in 21 (11.5%), regional in 21 (13.3%), and distant in 11 (6%). The majority of regional and distant recurrences occurred within 1 year of surgery. The majority of disease recurrence occurs in the first 1 to 2 years following surgical excision of advanced-stage cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck. Close surveillance and frequent imaging within those years are critical to catch subclinical and distant diseases.

Characterization of the MSAP Flap in Head and Neck Surgical Oncology: A 3D Cadaveric Study.

The medial sural artery (MSA) perforator flap is a versatile free flap. However, the cutaneous perforators are not well characterized. The objectives of this pilot anatomical study were to: (1) visualize in three-dimensions, as in-situ, the origin, course, and distribution of the cutaneous perforators, (2) characterize the number and frequency of the perforators, and (3) quantify mean pedicle length. Thirteen cadaveric specimens were dissected, digitized, and modeled in 3D. Three-dimensional models and dissection photographs were used to determine the origin, course, number, distribution, and pedicle length of MSA perforators. The most common pattern consisted of three perforators (39% of specimens). The maximum number of perforators identified was four (23%). The majority of specimens (92%) had a cutaneous perforator originating from the lateral branch of the MSA and coursed most frequently in the second (43%) and third (37%) quartiles of the length of the tibia. Mean pedicle length was 19.1 ± 6.9 cm. Perforators originating from the medial branch of the MSA were significantly (p < 0.05) shorter than those from the lateral branch and were found to course only in the first quartile. The 3D models constructed in this study provide a comprehensive overview of the location and course of the perforators, enabling measurement of parameters in 3D-space. Anatomical characterization of the MSA perforator flap using 3D analysis can assist reconstructive surgeons in understanding the relevant anatomy and optimizing the surgical technique for flap harvest.

A cross-sectional survey of patient attitudes towards telemedicine in head and neck surgical oncology

ObjectiveTo investigate patient attitudes towards desire for and barriers to utilizing telemedicine visits for head and neck oncology care. MethodsThis is a retrospective analysis of data from cross-sectional survey responses collected via prospectively administered questionnaire to 616 adult patients during their clinical visit to a tertiary care head and neck surgical oncology clinic. Responses to questions investigating interest in telemedicine and potential barriers were collated with patient demographics, measures of rurality, and insurance status. Interest in telemedicine appointments was the assessed primary outcome. ResultsOf 616 survey respondents, 315 (51 %) indicated interest in telemedicine visits. Limitations in access to technology (17.5 %) and lack of reliable internet connection (13.14 %) were identified as key barriers to telemedicine use. Lack of interest in telemedicine was associated with older age (OR 0.97 [95%CI 0.96–0.98]), governmental insurance (0.43 [0.31–0.60]) and, retired work status (0.48 [0.33–0.69]). Women (1.43 [1.04–1.97]) and patients who reported access to compatible electronic devices (41.05 [14.88–113.20]) and reliable internet connection (20.94 [8.34–52.60]) were more likely to be interested in telemedicine appointments. Respondents also indicated preference for a “hands on” examination over telemedicine appointments. ConclusionNearly 1 in 2 patients evaluated in a tertiary care head and neck surgical oncology clinic expressed reticence regarding telemedicine for clinical visits. Limited access to technology platforms and unreliable internet remain key concerns for these patients. Understanding the needs and attitudes of specific patient populations may be important for organizations pivoting to telemedicine platforms to ensure equity in healthcare access.

Reconstructive Head and Neck Microsurgery in a High-Volume Cancer Center—Long-Term Impact of an Early Experience

Objectives The aim of this study was to evaluate a 16-year-long outcome of an evolving practical approach to reconstructive microsurgery in a high volume, resource-constrained, head and neck cancer care setting. Patients and Methods Seventy-three consecutive cases of free flap reconstruction done by the Head and Neck Surgical Oncology team of Regional Cancer Centre, Thiruvananthapuram, from October 2004 to May 2020 were prospectively studied for flap viability, cosmesis, morbidity, and oncologic safety. The cases were selected based on their “emphatic” superiority to the conventional alternative as determined by two or more surgeons of the head and neck team or the recommendations of the head and neck tumor board. Results With the long-term results, this article discusses and validates our strategy for controlled patient recruitment for reconstructive microsurgery to ensure the best resource utilization in a tertiary cancer care center. Conclusions Adequate training and optimal application are the key factors determining success in microvascular reconstructive surgery in resource-constrained, high-volume cancer care facilities.

Outbreak of Streptococcus pyogenes emm89 ST646 in a head and neck surgical oncology ward.

This study describes an outbreak of Streptococcus pyogenes that occurred in a ward caring for patients with head and neck cancer and tracheostomies. Many cases of invasive infections occurred in a short period, and extensive empiric antimicrobial administration on patients and healthcare workers was performed to control the outbreak. Whole-genome sequencing analysis of the causative strains confirmed that it was a monoclonal transmission of strains belonging to emm89/clade 3. The epidemiology and clinical characteristics of S. pyogenes infections have changed with the replacement of the prevalent clones worldwide. In the 1980s, there was a reemergence of S. pyogenes infections in high-income countries due to the spread of hypervirulent emm1 strains. emm89/clade 3 has recently been spreading worldwide and shares common features with emm1, including increased production of two toxins, NADase, and streptolysin O. The outbreak reported here may reflect the high spreading potential and virulence of emm89/clade 3.

SimLife®: A New Dynamic Model for Head and Neck Surgical Oncology Simulation.

The SimLife® model consists in a human cadaver dynamized by pulsatile vascularization. The objective was to evaluate the face, contents, and constructs validity of the SimLife® model in head and neck surgical oncology simulation. Head and neck surgical oncology simulation sessions on SimLife® models were organized with lateral neck dissection and total laryngectomy. Face and contents validity were addressed by questionnaires. Constructs validity was assessed by objective structured assessment of technical skills (OSATS) score. High realism was demonstrated for consistency of tissues (7.1 ± 1.4), color of arteriesand veins (7.3 ± 1.9, 8.5 ± 1.1, respectively), and vein consistency (8.5 ± 1.2). The mean OSATS score was 19.7 ± 5.4 for residents and 32.7 ± 1.9 for senior surgeon (P = .0022). SimLife® is a hyperrealistic model for head and neck surgical oncology simulation and it might become a core component of the surgical resident curriculum.

Exploring Deep Cervical Compartments in Head and Neck Surgical Oncology through Augmented Reality Vision: A Proof of Concept.

Virtual surgical planning allows surgeons to meticulously define surgical procedures by creating a digital replica of patients' anatomy. This enables precise preoperative assessment, facilitating the selection of optimal surgical approaches and the customization of treatment plans. In neck surgery, virtual planning has been significantly underreported compared to craniofacial surgery, due to a multitude of factors, including the predominance of soft tissues, the unavailability of intraoperative navigation and the complexity of segmenting such areas. Augmented reality represents the most innovative approach to translate virtual planning for real patients, as it merges the digital world with the surgical field in real time. Surgeons can access patient-specific data directly within their field of view, through dedicated visors. In head and neck surgical oncology, augmented reality systems overlay critical anatomical information onto the surgeon's visual field. This aids in locating and preserving vital structures, such as nerves and blood vessels, during complex procedures. In this paper, the authors examine a series of patients undergoing complex neck surgical oncology procedures with prior virtual surgical planning analysis. For each patient, the surgical plan was imported in Hololens headset to allow for intraoperative augmented reality visualization. The authors discuss the results of this preliminary investigation, tracing the conceptual framework for an increasing AR implementation in complex head and neck surgical oncology procedures.

Virtual Tumor Boards for Remote Learning in Head and Neck Surgical Oncology

In addition to their patient management value, multidisciplinary tumor boards have been recognized as effective learning tools. However, the value of using a virtual tumor board as a learning tool for head and neck surgical oncology fellows has not been studied. To describe the structure and content of the American Head and Neck Society (AHNS) Virtual Tumor Board and assess its educational value as perceived by attendees. All sessions of the AHNS Virtual Tumor Board from April 8, 2020, to June 1, 2022, were reviewed. Topics, presenters, participants, and viewership data were collected as of October 15, 2022, from session recordings posted to an online video sharing and social media platform. Additionally, an anonymous, 14-question online survey was designed to elicit feedback from head and neck surgery trainees on virtual tumor board engagement, strengths, and weaknesses. The survey was electronically distributed in June and July 2022 to the 101 fellows enrolled in AHNS-accredited programs between July 1, 2020, and June 30, 2022. The primary aim was to tabulate online viewership of the sessions. The secondary aim was to qualitatively assess the experience of head and neck trainees with the AHNS Virtual Tumor Board using a survey. Forty-two sessions of the virtual tumor board were held between April 8, 2020, and June 1, 2022. Almost all sessions (41 [98%]) were case based. One hundred and sixteen cases were presented, representing 2 to 3 cases per session, by 75 unique faculty members. Each session was viewed a mean of 217 times (range, 64-2216 views). In the 2021 to 2022 academic year, a mean of 60 viewers (range, 30-92 viewers) attended each live session. In all, 29 survey responses were collected from 101 fellows in AHNS-accredited programs (29% response rate). Most respondents felt the format allowed for excellent teaching (18 of 26 respondents [69%]) and discussion (19 of 26 respondents [73%]). Most respondents (22 of 29 respondents [76%]) believed that practicing head and neck surgeons would benefit from the sessions. This survey study found that the AHNS Virtual Tumor Board was well-attended and well-reviewed by head and neck surgical oncology trainees. The virtual tumor board format could be used as model of remote learning for other organizations.

Demographic and Academic Productivity Trends Among American Head & Neck Society Fellows Over a 20-Year Period

Historical data reveal that, compared with women, men are more likely to pursue a head and neck surgical oncology fellowship, but little is known about possible gender differences in academic productivity. To assess demographic trends and academic productivity among American Head & Neck Society (AHNS) fellowship graduates. This cross-sectional study used electronically published data from the AHNS on fellowship graduates in the US and Canada from July 1, 1997, to June 30, 2022. Scopus was used to extract h-indices for each graduate. Scholarly activity. Main outcomes were changes in demographic characteristics and academic productivity among AHNS graduates over time. Data analysis included effect size, η2, and 95% CIs. A total of 691 AHNS fellowship graduates (525 men [76%] and 166 women [24%]) were included. Over the study period, there was an increase in the number of programs offering a fellowship (η2, 0.84; 95% CI, 0.68-0.89) and an increase in the absolute number of women who completed training (η2, 0.66; 95% CI, 0.38-0.78). Among early-career graduates pursuing an academic career, there was a small difference in the median h-index scores between men and women (median difference, 1.0; 95% CI, -1.1 to 3.1); however, among midcareer and late-career graduates, there was a large difference in the median h-index scores (midcareer graduates: median difference, 4.0; 95% CI, 1.2-6.8; late-career graduates: median difference, 6.0; 95% CI, 1.0-10.9). A higher percentage of women pursued academic positions compared with men (106 of 162 [65.4%] vs 293 of 525 [55.8%]; difference, 9.6%; 95% CI, -5.3% to 12.3%). This cross-sectional study suggests that women in head and neck surgery begin their careers with high levels of academic productivity. However, over time, a divergence in academic productivity between men and women begins to develop. These data argue for research to identify possible reasons for this observed divergence in academic productivity and, where possible, develop enhanced early faculty development opportunities for women to promote their academic productivity, promotion, and advancement into leadership positions.

Immune Status of Cervical Lymph Nodes in Head and Neck Cancer-A Surgical Oncology Perspective.

Neck dissection for cervical lymph node metastasis is an established procedure for head and neck cancer (HNC). However, with the advent of immunotherapy, head and neck surgical oncologists need to rethink removing all lymph nodes, including those with immune function. We investigated the anti-cancer immune response of the cervical lymph nodes in four patients with human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV16)-positive head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. Using lymphocytes extracted from local, metastatic, and non-metastatic lymph nodes and peripheral blood from these patients, we performed an intracellular flow cytometric cytokine assay using anti-IFNγ and anti-TNF-α monoclonal antibodies to detect HPV16 E6- and E7-specific T cells. HPV status and p16 immunostaining were determined by in situ detection using the HPV RNAscope method and immunohistochemistry. In one case, E6-specific and E7-specific CD8+ T cells were detected in proximal metastatic nodes and distal non-metastatic nodes. This finding suggests that non-metastatic nodes should be preserved for their immune function during neck dissection and that the immune function of non-metastatic lymph nodes is important when administering immunotherapy. In this context, head and neck surgical oncologists treating HNC should consider the place of immunotherapy and neck dissection in the treatment of HNC.

Virtual 3D Specimen Mapping in Head & Neck Oncologic Surgery.

Virtual 3D specimen mapping of oncologic surgical specimens provides a visual record of the specimen and margin sampling sites which can be utilized in a variety of cancer care settings. Our objective was to perform a retrospective review of head and neck surgical oncology cases where the specimen was mapped post-operatively and to evaluate the utility of these 3D specimen maps amongst the multidisciplinary cancer care team. A retrospective review of our 3D specimen model biorepository was performed. Surgical specimens were 3D scanned and then graphically annotated (or "mapped") during routine pathologic processing. The resulting 3D specimen maps were distributed to the multidisciplinary oncologic care team. Final margin status and any use of the 3D specimen maps were recorded. A total of 28 cases were included. Virtual 3D specimen maps were utilized by the cancer care team in 8 cases (29%), including 2 positive margin cases, 2 close margin cases, and 4 indeterminate margin cases. 3D specimen maps were used to visualize positive margin sites for pathologist-surgeon communication as a visual reference during tumor board discussions and to inform radiation treatment planning. Post-operative virtual 3D specimen mapping of oncologic specimens creates a permanent visual record of the specimen and the margins sampled and may serve as a beneficial tool for communication amongst the multidisciplinary cancer care team. 4 Laryngoscope, 134:191-197, 2024.

Overview of a Head and Neck Cancer Treatment Program in Janakpur, Nepal.

Introduction In a developing country like Nepal, delivering health care service in a rural setting is a major challenge. Binaytara Foundation Cancer Center (BTFCC) has launched a head and neck cancer treatment program in Janakpur, Nepal from April, 2022 to address the cancer care in rural Nepal. We outline the development of the program; highlight specific evolvements, and deliberate significant considerations for contribution in global oncology. We aim to lay the foundation for future investigation of the incidence of head and neck cancer and its associated characteristic trends in Madhesh province of Nepal. Methods We did a retrospective chart review of patients seeking treatment at Head and Neck Surgical Oncology Department from April 2022 to December 2022. We also reflected on our experiences and challenges in key areas of ensuring access to safe and cost-effective treatment. Results The program has inclusion of a total of 30 patients who presented to the Head and Neck Surgical Oncology department and represents the cluster of this suburban population. 50% (N-15) of the patients had a diagnosis of oral cancer and were enrolled for tumor board discussion. A total of 6/30 (20%) patients had Oral Potentially Malignant Disorders (OPMD). Our results were likely influenced by stage at presentation, with 60% (9/15) of oral cancer patients presented in Forth stage. Future efforts will therefore be focused on continuing to improve the level of care, spread awareness, increase screening, and promote early detection and treatment. Conclusion Our experiences may deliver information on execution of protocol-based cancer treatment programs in resource-poor settings and can provide valuable lessons learned for future global oncology efforts.
