In conjunction with The Lancet Commission on Hearing Loss, we estimated that 257 million people are exposed to, and 33.8 million acquire, hearing loss each year due to these preventable causes: CRS, CMV, meningitis, OM, and ototoxic medications The Lancet Global Health thelancet.com/journals/langl…

Excited to share our new work detailing a 12-year effort to build a sustainable, complex head and neck reconstruction program in Kijabe, Kenya. Since 2016, the Kenya team has performed free flaps independently. Sarah Rohde Kyle Mannion VUMC Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery doi.org/10.1002/hed.27…

In our new work, we found that only 29% of re-resections after an initial positive margin contain further cancer and that final positive margins are often at anatomic sites different than the initial positive margin.

So proud of all of my best friends matching today. Couldn’t have done medical school without them

As part of our new study looking at how 3D scans impact radiation fields, Ryan Whitaker MD PhD uses our virtual 3D scan and 3D printed specimen with marked close margins to develop a radiation treatment plan Michael Topf MD, MSCI Eben L Rosenthal, MD Natalie Lockney clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT05…

There is still time to apply to this incredible opportunity w/ VUMC Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery! The skills gained extend far beyond research to clinical, professional, and personal. Feel free to DM me with any questions

Our 3D specimen maps impact all aspects of head and neck cancer care by enhancing communication of margin results among surgeons, pathologists and radiation oncologists. They also turn our complex tumor specimens into art! #HeadandNeckCancer #CADMargin Michael Topf MD, MSCI Alexis Miller

Kicked off our Alume nerve monitoring trial today! Incredible to see the fluorescence technology in real time. #FGS #HeadandNeckCancer Sarah Rohde James Netterville Eben L Rosenthal, MD Michael Topf MD, MSCI Alexis Miller VUMC Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery
