Abscess of the Anterior Belly of the Digastric

Abscesses within muscles in the Head and Neck are exceptionally rare, others having been described by Luc, Bezold, and Citelli. Mr Pankhania describes the first ever case of this variety under the tongue in the anterior digastric muscle.

Thyroid Haemorrhage

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26939787

Presented at BACO 2015 – Bleeding after thyroid surgery can be life threatening. Mr Pankhania analysed James England’s 20-year case series data to demonstrate that the risk of bleeding after thyroid surgery is higher when associated with Graves’ disease.

Malignant Otitis Externa

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26352779

Presented at the British Scandinavian Otology Meeting – Mr Pankhania’s seminal work on an obscure infective ear condition affecting the elderly, patients with diabetes, and the immunosuppressed, which untreated can result in death. This paper is now widely cited by ear surgeons across the world!

Post-Nasal Space Suction Catheter

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4473460/

Mr Pankhania’s clever fix to improve the surgical field of vision in tricky cases of sinus surgery where there is lots of inflammation and therefore bleeding.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26263953

A rare but benign tumour more commonly seen in the major salivary glands seen here in the voicebox.

ENT Surgery and Laryngeal Mask Airways

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24668055

Balloon Dilatation of the Tracheal Stoma

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21344440

Our cancer patients sometimes run into difficulty with narrowing of their airway because of aggressive scarring. We describe a method to do this without the need for an operation.
