LearnENT, an educational app for iOS, was developed to promote a standardized experience otolaryngology in head and neck surgery (OTOHNS) for University of Ottawa medical students. Its development was grounded in pedagogical theory including Laurillard’s design process, Honey and Mumford’s learning styles, and Nielsen’s theory of usability. This paper examines LearnENT's design and development processes as well as the role of mobile apps in medical education. Features of the LearnENT app as they apply to Constructivist learning are also highlighted.

Head And Neck Surgery

AbstractConventional operations for various surgical neck lesions adopted the transcervical scar, which were disfiguring and caused various postoperative morbidities. The advent of the surgical robotics as a result of advancement in technology led to a technical breakthrough in the field of head and neck surgery. Together with the application of the robot, we have seen the promising role of the retroauricular (RA) approach from its versatile applications. This review will discuss in detail various robotic head and neck surgeries via RA approach.

Clot Evacuation

The role of hematoma formation in the development of complications after major head and neck surgery is surveyed retrospectively. An incidence of 4.2% was encountered. In all cases, the hematoma was identified within 12 hours postoperatively. Prompt surgical clot evacuation and reinstitution of drainage did not adversely affect the patient's subsequent course. Failure to adequately drain the hematoma resulted in increased wound dehiscence, major infection, and fistula. When properly treated, postoperative hematoma formation offers only the risks attendant with a second anesthesia; no subsequent related morbidity need be anticipated.

AbstractObjectives:This paper outlines our use of cricothyroid cannulation in those patients undergoing head and neck surgery in whom a ‘difficult airway’ is anticipated. Audit results are presented.Materials and methods:Prospective data collection for all patients undergoing cricothyroid cannulation for management of head and neck neoplasms, over a two-year period.Results:Thirty-nine cricothyroid cannulae were sited in 32 patients. All patients with laryngeal tumours underwent the procedure while awake, prior to the anticipated difficult intubation, and the cannulae were removed within six hours. Most cannulations performed under general anaesthetic were for anticipated ‘dangerous extubations’ in patients with oral cavity tumours, and these cannulae remained in place for 24 hours. Tracheostomy was possibly avoided in six patients. No complications were identified.Conclusion:Cricothyroid cannulation can be a simple, safe, reliable technique which is a useful adjunct in the management of patients with a potentially difficult airway.
