Abstract

The importance of patient reported outcomes following head and neck cancer (HNC) is evident by the increasing number of papers in this area. It is challenging to keep up to date and readily access relevant papers. HaNDLE-on-QoL is a website resource and a repository of abstracts that have used patient completed questionnaires to report on ‘quality of life’ (QOL) following head and neck cancer. The site has a search engine by paper title, first author, year of publication, words used in the abstract, site of cancer, study design, and questionnaires used. The aim of this paper is to summarise the content of HaNDLE-on-QoL. In May 2017, the website was searched by the criteria above. The site had 1498 papers. Publication numbers have increased over time from 1982 to present day, with 150 in 2015 and 185 in 2016. There is a range of sites but most are studies combine head and neck subsites (871), with 180 specifically oral and 109 focusing solely on larynx. There were 149 review articles. The commonest topics were swallowing (353), speech (299), pain (292), emotional (226), and depression (193). Most papers were on functional or predictors of HRQOL, however 98 were either clinical trials or RCT. The site has over 250 different questionnaires, commonest were EORTC-C30 (369), EORTC H&N35 (353), and UW-QOL (276). HaNDLE-on-QoL highlights the complexity of QOL following HNC and the diversity and range of studies. It serves as a useful reference point for those involved in clinical practice or research.

Abstract

Contemporary advances in technology have enabled the transfer of industrial laser melting technology to surgery, and its use can improve the accuracy of orbital restoration. The aim of this study therefore was to evaluate the accuracy of primary orbital reconstruction with the use of selective laser melted, patient-specific implants and navigation. A total of 100 patients with complex orbital fractures were included. Planned orbital volumes were compared with those achieved, and angles were compared with the unaffected side. Analysis included the overlay of postoperative on planned images (iPlan® 3.0.5, Brainlab). The mean (SD) orbital volume of the unaffected side was 27.2 (2.8) ml in men and 25.0 (2.6) ml in women. Fractures that involved the posterior third of the orbital floor and comminuted fractures showed significant orbital enlargement (p = 0.026). The mean (SD) reconstructed orbital volume was 26.9 (2.7) ml in men and 24.26 (2.5) ml in women. Three-dimensional analysis of the colour mapping showed minor deviations when compared with the unaffected side. The results suggest that a high degree of accuracy can be routinely achieved in these complex cases. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
