“…It appears that there has been more discussion on soft than hard tissue surgeries in recent years. There has been a rise of bariatric surgery prior to other forms of surgeries, multilevel surgery at palate, pharynx, and tongue base, transoral robotic surgery at tongue base, and radiofrequency surgeries (66)(67)(68). The DOME technique for narrow and deep vaulted maxilla is one that was more well-known to surgeons.…”

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is an underdiagnosed sleeprelated breathing disorder. Not only does it lack public awareness, but even clinicians and dentists may have had underestimated the seriousness of the condition to keep us alert in actively diagnosing them. In Hong Kong, the prevalence were 4.1% (1) and 2.1% (2) among middle-aged men and women respectively, which is similar worldwide.Male gender, old age, obesity, increased neck circumference and snoring are typical risk factors associated with OSA (3,4). OSA has been shown to be associated with multiple cardiovascular diseases (CVD) including hypertension, myocardial infarction, angina, heart failure, and stroke, as well as other metabolic diseases such as diabetes (5,6). Epilepsy was also found to be related to OSA, possibly resulting from hypoxaemia-mediated brain damage (7). In addition, research showed associations between OSA and

Objective: Warthin’s tumors of the parotid gland can be safely observed. Definitive treatment usually requires parotidectomy under general anesthesia. The decision to operate on Warthin’s tumors of the parotid gland can be complicated in patients who wish to avoid risks of surgery and general anesthesia. This systematic review explores the potential of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) as a minimally invasive alternative. Methods: The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) model was used to collect 3 relevant studies that focused on RFA treatment for Warthin’s tumors. The cumulative averages for tumor size and cosmetic scores were then quantified for patients with Warthin’s tumors who underwent RFA therapy. The PRISMA systematic review method was employed to the PubMed and EMBASE databases. The comprehensive search term “Warthin Tumor Treatment” yielded 1299 articles from the years 1955 to 2023, 3 of which met inclusion criteria and were then selected. Results: The 3 quantitative studies collectively assessed 37 patients with Warthin’s tumors treated with RFA. Patients experienced an average tumor size reduction of 85.03% at 12 months post-RFA. There were minimal complications associated with RFA in these patients. Conclusion: This study suggests that RFA is an alternative to parotidectomy for the symptomatic treatment of Warthin’s tumors. RFA procedures demonstrated substantial tumor size reduction with few complications. However, further meta-analysis and comparison with alternative treatments is warranted to establish RFA’s role in treatment of Warthin’s tumors. The study is limited by its reliance on only 2 databases and a lack of comprehensive examination of different RFA settings.
