He has experience in the field of medicine, with an emphasis on head and neck surgery. PhD from the Faculty of Medicine at USP, with a thesis entitled "Pectoralis major myocutaneous flap in the reconstruction of head and neck defects, participated as an assistant physician at FMABC for 12 years." She is currently an assistant physician at the Faculdade de Medicina do ABC, Hospital das Clínicas de Sao Paulo and Instituto do Cancer do Estado de Sao Paulo, participating in the training of academics in the area for years. Responsible for the newsletter of the Brazilian Society of Head and Neck, member of the Brazilian Society of Minimally Invasive and Robotic Surgery. Head of the reconstruction group in Head and Neck Surgery ICESP/HC. He still works in private practice. Postgraduate in Robotic Surgery in Head and Neck at Hospital Israelita Albert Einstein, Proctor in Robotic Surgery in Head and Neck, Head of the Department of Head and Neck Surgery at ICESP/HC and USP.

Second primary cancer is the leading cause of death in lymphoma long-term survivors, with lung cancer representing the most common second tumour. Previous studies investigated the risk of developing lung cancer after lymphoma, but limited information exists about the treatment and prognosis of these patients. Herein, we aimed to investigate the outcome of lymphoma survivors treated for second primary lung cancer

Background: The symptomatic (swelling and pain) salivary gland obstructions are caused by sialolithiasis and salivary duct stenosis, negatively affecting quality of life (QOL), with almost all candidates for clinical measures and minimally invasive sialendoscopy. The impact of sialendoscopy treatment on the QOL has been little addressed nowadays. The objective is to prospectively evaluate the impact of sialendoscopy on the quality of life of patients undergoing sialendoscopy due to benign salivary obstructive diseases, measured through QOL questionnaires of xerostomia degree, the oral health impact profile and post sialendoscopy satisfaction questionnaires. Result: 37 sialendoscopies were included, most young female: 64.5% sialolithiasis, 35.4% post-radioiodine; 4.5 times/week painful swelling; 23.5 months symptom duration; pre- and post-sialendoscopy VAS values: 7.42 to 1.29 (p<0.001); 86.5% and 89.2% were subjected to sialendoscopy alone and endoscopic dilatation respectively; ...

Introduction. The reconstruction of complex cervicofacial defects arising from surgical treatment for cancer is a real challenge for head and neck surgeons, especially in salvage reconstruction surgery and/or failed previous reconstruction. The pectoralis major myocutaneous flap (PMMF) has been widely used in these specific situations due to its reliability and low rate of failure or complications.Objectives. Identify factors that determine complications and influence the final outcome of the reconstructions with PMMF in salvage cancer surgery or in salvage reconstruction.Methods. A cross-sectional study design was used to evaluate a sample including 17 surgical patients treated over a period of ten years that met the inclusion criteria.Results. Reconstruction was successful in 13 cases (76.5%), with two cases of partial flap loss and no case of total loss. Complications occurred in 13 cases (76.5%) and were specifically related to the flap in nine instances (52.9%). An association ...

CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: Pedicled flaps play an important role in cancer treatment centers, particularly in developing and emerging countries. The aim of this study was to identify factors that may cause complications and influence the final result from reconstructions using pectoralis major myocutaneous flaps (PMMFs) for head and neck defect repair following cancer resection. DESIGN AND SETTING: Cross-sectional study at the Hospital de Ensino Padre Anchieta of Faculdade de Medicina do ABC (FMABC). METHODS: Data on 58 patients who underwent head and neck defect reconstruction using PMMFs were reviewed. The final result from the reconstruction (success or failure) and the complications observed were evaluated in relation to the patients' ages, area reconstructed, disease stage, previous oncological treatment and need for blood transfusion. RESULTS: There were no total flap losses. The reconstruction success rate was 93.1%. Flap-related complications occurred in 43.1% of the cases, ...
