Is neck dissection associated with an increased risk of postoperative stroke?
The researchers investigated whether neck dissection is an independent risk factor for postoperative stroke. They found that the rate of postoperative stroke was greater with neck dissection than without it and concluded that stroke is a rare but highly morbid complication after head and neck surgery. Compared with other head and neck surgery, neck dissection in patients at risk for carotid artery stenosis is associated with an increased risk of postoperative stroke.

Safety and perioperative adverse events in pediatric endoscopic sinus surgery: an ACS-NSQIP-P analysis.
This study describes safety outcomes of pediatric endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) to identify risk factors for 30-day postoperative adverse events using the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program-Pediatric (NSQIP-P) database. It concluded that urgent/emergent procedures carry the greatest risk of postoperative adverse events, and black children are significantly more likely to undergo higher acuity surgery than white children.
