Al-Qurayshi Z, et al. - Utilizing the Nationwide Readmissions Database for the years 2010 to 2014, researchers conducted this retrospective cross-sectional analysis to investigate the prevalence and outcomes of head and neck surgeries in individuals with a history of organ transplantation. The study population involved 322 transplant patients (76.4% kidney, 8.7% liver, 8.4% heart, 3.0% kidney/pancreas, 2.3% lung, 0.9% kidney/liver, 0.4% pancreas) and 120,401 controls who had comparable otolaryngologic procedures. No difference was found in the overall postoperative complications risk. However, cases had a higher risk of acute renal failure. Among cases, there was no reported in-hospital mortality. In otolaryngology practices, transplant patients are increasingly encountered. The kidney is the most commonly transplanted organ, and parathyroidectomy is the most commonly performed procedure.
