The lateral crural underlay spring graft
Ferdinand C A Timmer, Jason A Roth, Pontus K E Börjesson, Peter J F M Lohuis — Facial Plastic Surgery 04/2013; 29(2):140–6
Retrospective study evaluating functional and aesthetic outcomes following the use of the lateral crural underlay spring (LCUS) graft for treatment of internal and external nasal valve collapse. Of eight patients, six (75%) demonstrated improvement in functional scores, one (12%) was unchanged, and one (12%) showed a worse score. Mean improvement in functional scores was 9.4 points (p <0.005). No significant difference was found in aesthetic scores. Evidence supports the LCUS graft as effective for relieving nasal obstruction in patients with internal, external, or combined nasal valve collapse.
Ossicular reconstruction with a titanium prosthesis
J A Roth, S R Pandit, M Soma, T R Kertesz — The Journal of Laryngology & Otology 08/2009; 123(10):1082–6
Retrospective review of 55 cases of ossicular chain reconstruction using a titanium prosthesis. Low complication rate (one extrusion, 1.8%). Successful hearing rehabilitation (air-bone gap ≤20 dB) achieved in 85% of partial and 77% of total reconstruction cases. Mean pure tone threshold improvement of 18 dB (partial) and 25 dB (total). Concluded that titanium is well suited for ossicular chain reconstruction due to ease of insertion, low extrusion rate, and functional outcomes.
Endoscopic stapling of pharyngeal pouch: a 10-year review of single versus multiple staple rows
Jason A Roth, Elizabeth Sigston, Neil Vallance — Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery 02/2009; 140(2):245–9
Retrospective 10-year review of 38 patients undergoing endoscopic stapling of pharyngeal pouches. Patients stapled with multiple rows had a significantly higher postoperative leak rate compared to single-row stapling (36% vs 0%, p <0.05), as well as longer hospital stays and delayed return to diet. No difference in recurrence rate or patient satisfaction between groups. Cautions that multiple rows of staples carry increased risk of perforation.
Harmonic scalpel tonsillectomy versus monopolar diathermy tonsillectomy: a prospective study
Jason A Roth et al. — Ear, Nose & Throat Journal 06/2008; 87(6):346–9
Prospective comparison of outcomes in 162 harmonic scalpel tonsillectomies and 40 monopolar diathermy tonsillectomies over 33 months. Harmonic scalpel group showed significantly less intraoperative bleeding (5.0 vs 16.5 mL; p <0.0001). No clinically significant differences in operating time, postoperative nausea and vomiting, dysphonia, primary or secondary bleeding, or time to resume normal diet and activities.
Lateral frontal sinus access in endoscopic skull-base surgery
Daniel G Timperley, Catherine Banks, Daniel Robinson, Jason Roth, Raymond Sacks, Richard J Harvey — International Forum of Allergy and Rhinology 1(4):290–5
Cadaveric study examining the extent of lateral frontal sinus access achievable via the modified endoscopic Lothrop (Draf III) procedure. Complete lateral access to the anterior and posterior frontal sinus walls was achieved in 95% of sinuses (mean 15.5 mm and 15.4 mm respectively). Access to the orbital roof was significantly more limited (10.3 mm; p=0.01). Orbital roof access beyond the midorbital point was achievable in only 10% of sinuses. Access correlated with the anteroposterior distance between the olfactory fossa and the frontal beak periosteum.
