Abstract

Objective: We undertook a systematic review of the literature with meta‐analysis to identify the role of obesity (BMI ≥30) in the patient characteristics presenting with spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid (sCSF) leaks of the lateral skull base and the outcomes of their repair. Data Sources: A Systematic Review of English Articles using MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library. Review Methods: The research algorithm included the following keywords: "spontaneous CSF leak," "lateral skull base," "temporal bone," "meningocele," "encephalocele," and "otorrhea." We also manually searched the references of included studies, to identify possible studies missed during our literature search. Results: More than two‐thirds of the patients were female (69.2%) and often were obese (mean BMI 36.5 kg/m2) with a mean age of 57. Most common presenting symptoms were otorrhea and hearing loss. Most authors did not report a routine use of a post‐operative lumbar drain. Most patients had a single skull base defect and encephaloceles prolapsing through, across obese and non‐obese groups. Median length of stay in hospital was 3.2 days, and the majority of patients did not have any recurrence during their follow‐up (89.6%), which was not affected by obesity. Conclusion: Obesity does not affect length of hospital stay or recurrence rate following surgical repair of lateral skull base sCSF leaks. Surgical repair is a safe and viable approach in the management of obese patients with sCSF leaks in the temporal bone. Level of Evidence: NA Laryngoscope, 134:2012–2018, 2024 [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Background and Objectives: The coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic influenced the healthcare system tremendously, as well as the number of elective surgical procedures worldwide. The aim of this study is to investigate the COVID-19 pandemic's impact on esophagectomies. Materials and Methods: The MEDLINE (via PubMed), Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar bibliographical databases were systematically searched. Original clinical studies investigating the outcomes of esophageal cancer surgery during the COVID-19 pandemic were deemed eligible. After exclusion criteria were applied, eight studies were considered eligible for inclusion. Results: Eight studies with non-overlapping populations, reporting on patients undergoing esophagectomy for resectable esophageal cancer during the COVID-19 pandemic, were included in our analysis, with a total of 18548 patients. Background characteristics for age, lung disease, smoking history as well as Body Mass Index and age were equal among the groups. The background of diabetes presented a statistically significant difference among the groups. Perioperative outcomes like reoperation rates, the length of intensive care unit stay, or readmission rates were not significantly increased during the pandemic. The 30-day readmission, and 30- and 90-day mortality were not affected either. The length of hospital stay was significantly lower in the non-pandemic period. Conclusions: The results of our study support the evidence that in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, esophageal cancer operations took place safely and effectively, similarly to the standards of the non-COVID-19 era.

Abstract

Pneumomediastinum (PNM) is a rare clinical finding, usually with a benign course, which is managed conservatively in the majority of cases. However, during the COVID-19 pandemic, an increased incidence of PNM has been observed. Several reports of PNM cases in COVID-19 have been reported in the literature and were managed either conservatively or surgically. In this study, we present our institutional experience of COVID-19 associated PNM, propose a management algorithm, and review the current literature. In total, 43 Case Series were identified, including a total of 747 patients, of whom 374/747 (50.1%) were intubated at the time of diagnosis, 168/747 (22.5%) underwent surgical drain insertion at admission, 562/747 (75.2%) received conservative treatment (observation or mechanical ventilation. Inpatient mortality was 51.8% (387/747), while 45.1% of the population recovered and/or was discharged (337/747). In conclusion, with increased incidence of PNM in COVID-19 patients reported in the literature, it is still difficult to assign a true causal relationship between PNM and mortality. We can, however, see that PMN plays an important role in disease prognosis. Due to increased complexity, high mortality, and associated complications, conservative management may not be sufficient, and a surgical approach is needed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
