<h4>Purpose of review</h4>This review summarizes the information in the literature on the indications for adjuvant therapy after transoral laser microsurgery (TLM) for early/intermediate stage laryngeal cancer.<h4>Recent findings</h4>A high rate of 'nonevaluable' margins after TLM significantly complicates decision-making concerning adjuvant therapy. However, consensus grows that second-look TLM in patients with multiple ... Read more >>

The emergence of steerable flexible instruments has widened the uptake of minimally invasive surgical techniques. In sinus surgery, such flexible instruments could enable the access to difficult-to-reach anatomical areas. However, design-oriented metrics, essential for the development of steerable flexible instruments for maxillary sinus surgery, are still lacking. This paper proposes ... Read more >>

Pleomorphic adenoma is the most common salivary gland neoplasm and its diagnosis is straightforward in majority of cases. However; not infrequently PA exhibits unusual and uncommon histological findings that can erroneously be confused with malignancy. The diagnostic difficulties of PA arise from its ability of mimic invasion, show atypical or ... Read more >>
