[Free forearm skin flaps with microvascular anastomosis for pharyngeal reconstruction].

Free forearm skin flap with microvascular anastomosis was used for tissue defect reconstruction in 4 patients after resection of the oropharynx, base of the tongue and ramus of the mandible. The vascular pedicle of the flap contained the radial artery and the cephalic vein. For microvascular anastomosis the facial artery was used in all the patients, the facial vein in 2 patients, the internal jugular vein in one patient and the external jugular vein in the other one. Good healing of the graft was obtained in 3 patients. In one patient partial necrosis developed. No patient had fistula.

[Pharyngeal closure after pharyngolaryngectomy].

Pharyngolaryngectomy was performed in 53 patients. In 36 patients pharynx defect was less than 50% of pharynx circumference and it was closed without reconstruction. Larger pharynx defects were closed using platysma myocutaneous flap (13 cases), pectoralis mayor flap (3 cases) and free forearm flap with microvascular anastomosis (1 case). Healing results are presented in each group of patients.

[Operations of parotid malignant tumors].

In a group of 64 patients with malignant tumours of the parotid gland the most common type was adenoid cystic carcinoma (20%) and malignant pleomorphic adenoma (14%). A group of 33 patients with follow-up from 4 months to 18 years was analyzed. The overall 5-year survival rate was 45%.

[Diagnosis of temporal bone paraganglioma].

On the basis of 7 cases of temporal bone paraganglioma diagnosis of this tumor is presented. Apart from aural symptoms cranial nerves palsy may appear. Computer tomography, magnetic resonance imaging and subtraction angiography are essential investigations.

[Surgical approach to the atlas and axis].

On the basis of three operated patients a posterior, lateral and antero-lateral approaches to the atlas and axis are presented. The type of approach depends on location and extent of a lesion in the vertebra.

[Face deformation and function defects after maxillectomy].

In the group of 42 patients after maxillectomy face deformation and function defects were assessed. The best cosmetic and functional result was observed after maxillectomy without orbital exenteration, with preservation of lateral part of the zygomatic bone and at least a half of nasal skeleton. Severe face deformation developed after orbital exenteration, resection of the palpebrae, cheek and external nose.

[Platysma myocutaneous flap in intraoral reconstruction].

Plastyma myocutaneous island flap was used in 13 patients to reconstruct tissue defect after oral cancer surgery. Necrosis of the skin island in the oral cavity occurred in 3 patients. A fistula developed in one patient with a large defect of the tongue, pharynx and mandible. In 12 patients wound healing on the neck was good. Plastyma myocutaneous flap is very useful to close defects of the floor of the mouth and up to the half of the tongue width.

[Degree of utilization of hearing aids by adults].

The amount of use of hearing aids was assessed in 190 adults and 22.6% of them used the aid always, 23.7% most of the day, 22.6% every day a little, 20.0% sometimes and 11.1% never. The hearing aids were used more by patients with profound hearing loss than by patients with moderate loss and more by younger and working subjects than by elderly and non-working ones.

Sternocleidomastoid myocutaneous flap for intraoral reconstruction.

The results of healing of the sternocleidomastoid myocutaneous flap in 22 patients operated upon because of cancer of the tongue and floor of the mouth are presented. An inferiorly based island flap was used in 5 patients. Although total or partial cutaneous necrosis occurred in 4 of the patients, the wound healed without fistula formation in all cases. A superiorly based compound flap was used in 17 patients and in 5 of them the oral part of the skin underwent total or partial necrosis.

Results of laryngeal cancer surgery in four ENT centers in poland.

The results of laryngeal cancer surgery were assessed in a group of 832 patients treated in four major ENT centers in Poland. Five-year survival rates were as follows: stage I, 86%; stage II, 71%; stage III, 54%; and stage IV, 42%. In experienced hands and for properly selected cases, cure rates after partial (conservation) laryngeal surgery were similar to those after total laryngectomy. For early stages (I and II), the survival after partial surgery was better than that found after radiotherapy.

Serum iron and total iron binding capacity in larynx cancer patients treated with surgery.

A decrease in serum iron and total iron binding capacity (TIBC) has been seen in patients with various malignancies. Similar iron level and TIBC alterations we have found in patients with larynx cancer. Estimation of TIBC reflects the quantity of transferrin which is the iron carrier in serum. The serum iron and transferrin changes cannot be used for diagnostic purposes because they are not specific to malignancies. Such alterations have been also seen in inflammatory and infectious diseases, heart infarct and anaemias. However, it is of interest whether elimination of neoplastic tissue from an organism brings back the decreased serum iron and TIBC to normal values.

[Comparison of auditory threshold and loudness in the Bing test].

The threshold and loudness comparison techniques of the Bing test were performed in a quantitative manner in both ears of 14 subjects. The results were related to their air-bone gap at 500 Hz. The study showed that the air-bone gap influenced a positive occlusion effect, but did not influence its subsequent magnitude. The magnitudes of the results of the occlusion test performed in these two ways were significantly related to each other.
