Review Case Reports
Hydroxyapatite cement resurfacing the dehiscent jugular bulb: Novel treatment for pulsatile tinnitus.
The objectives were to discuss the presentation and symptomatology of patients with jugular bulb abnormalities, summarize the literature describing jugular bulb abnormalities, compare methods of treating symptomatic dehiscent jugular bulb, describe a novel surgical technique and pitfalls to repair dehiscent bulbs with hydroxyapatite cement, and present a case series to demonstrate outcomes with this technique STUDY DESIGN: Case series presentation, PubMed literature review, and description of operative technique. ⋯ 4. Laryngoscope, 128:1186-1190, 2018.

Review Meta Analysis
Efficacy of dexmedetomidine on perioperative morbidity during nasal surgery: A meta-analysis.
The goal of this meta-analysis was to perform a systematic review of the literature on the effect of dexmedetomidine on perioperative morbidity following nasal surgery and on the adverse effects of dexmedetomidine. ⋯ NA. Laryngoscope, 128:573-580, 2018.

Postoperative use of anticoagulation after free tissue transfer in head and neck ablative procedures is common practice, but a clear protocol has not been well established. The outcome measures including total flap failure, thrombosis, and hematoma formation for different anticoagulation regimens in free tissue transfer in the head and neck were reviewed. ⋯ There is not adequate evidence to develop a standardized anticoagulation protocol for head and neck free flap procedures. Comparable flap complications were reported between all the employed anticoagulation methods studied, though significant variability in study design among articles existed. Prospective, randomized studies are warranted to determine the optimal postoperative anticoagulation regimen following free tissue transfer of the head and neck. Laryngoscope, 128:412-421, 2018.
