TL;DR: Voice alterations after thyroidectomy can be found even with preserved function of laryngeal nerves, and the role of orotracheal intubation on voice changes is evaluated.

TL;DR: This study validates the staging system used for squamous cell carcinoma of the ear treated with surgery and concludes every effort must be undertaken to make an early diagnosis and perform radical surgical resection of squamouscell carcinomas in the external auditory canal.

TL;DR: The rat anatomy allows easy access to the extratemporal facial nerve, allowing its sectioning and standardized suture, and it was also possible to establish an evaluation and graduation scale of the rat facial movements with facial palsy based on the clinical observation of these animals.

TL;DR: It is important to be aware of this potentiality in children with COM, especially, and maintain a high index of suspicion in order to refer for otologic specialty care before such complications occur.

TL;DR: The use of intraoperative nerve monitoring did not decrease the rate of vocal fold immobility in patients who underwent thyroidectomy using intraoperative laryngeal nerve monitoring, without significant difference between the two series.
