Clinical Outcomes of Salvage Microsurgical Resection after Radiation Therapy for Sporadic Vestibular Schwannomas
Conclusions Compared to patients with VS treated with surgery alone, previously radiated patients are less likely to achieve gross total resection in the salvage setting. Radiated patients scored better on facial nerve outcomes compared to nonradiated patients in the initial postoperative period but demonstrated similar long-term outcomes.

The Usefulness of YouTube Videos Related to Endoscopic Sinus Surgery for Surgical Residents
Conclusions Overall, the quality of included videos was poor. OHNS residents should not rely solely or primarily on YouTube videos to learn surgical skills relevant to ESS. To maximize potential of online teaching, high-quality videos should be used to compliment other methods of teaching.

The Evolution of Pituitary Surgery in an Australian Health Care Framework
Conclusion We have demonstrated that acceptable outcomes can be achieved in a low-to-moderate volume setting across multiple hospitals when a coordinated effort is made to consolidate these cases within a small group of subspeciality-trained surgeons, as opposed to a more generalist approach.

Giant Meningiomas Invading the Cavernous Sinus: The “Inevitable Ones”
Conclusions The surgical treatment of GMICS is an effective treatment modality with acceptable morbimortality and good long-term control. Involvement of the internal carotid artery is essential to determine the extent of resection inside the cavernous sinus, and training in the microsurgical laboratory is mandatory for safe surgical treatment.

Morbid Obesity and Diabetes Increase the Risk of Reoperation following Microvascular Decompression: A National Surgical Quality Improvement Program Analysis of 1,303 Patients
Conclusions We demonstrate morbid obesity leads to increased procedure duration and increased risk of reoperation due to wound complications and CSF leak. In these patients, alternative treatment strategies or preoperative optimization may be reasonable to reduce the risk of surgical complications and reoperation.

Primary Extracranial Meningiomas of the Sinonasal Tract: A Systematic Review
Conclusions There are no clear defining clinical features of PEMs; hence, it is imperative for clinicians to prioritize histological diagnosis to guide further management. A conclusive diagnosis of PEMs, i.e., exclusion of PIMs, requires imaging and potential intraoperative assessment. Its prognosis is likely dependent on both WHO grading and the ability to achieve complete surgical extirpation. Endoscopic resection is recommended even in high-grade PEMs for localized and resectable disease. Radiotherapy may be reserved for unresectable or recurrent tumors as salvage therapy.

Optimal Screening for Hereditary Head and Neck Paraganglioma in Asymptomatic SDHx Variant Carriers in the Netherlands
Conclusion The 5-year risk for head and neck paragangliomas in pathological SDHx variant carriers is less than 20%.

Utilization of Polydioxanone Plate for Endoscopic Anterior Skull Base Repair: Operative Technique and Long-Term Cohort Outcomes
Conclusion PDS plate reconstruction confers several advantages and can be used in a diverse set of operative scenarios in conjunction with other reconstruction options. There appeared to be an associated learning curve as surgeons at our center gained experience with this new technique. Our findings show that the PDS plate reconstruction is safe and effective in repairing the skull base.
