Andrew Peterson, MD, MSCI

Will Strober, PGY4, just matched Laryngology Fellowship at Johns Hopkins! Congrats!!👏

Congratulations and a very hearty welcome to our newest interns – tomorrow’s leaders in otolaryngology!

Great job on this one, team @WashUMedENT! Few years in the making @curehht onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/al…

Stellate ganglion block is not superior to placebo in treating #COVID19−induced parosmia, and thus, should not be recommended as treatment. ja.ma/3Jdxlqr @andrewpete_

We’re pleased to share 2 new papers from the WashU H&N Tumor Center @SitemanCenter We explored the debate of UL vs. BL transoral surgery for tonsillar SCCa through a WashU cohort and meta-analysis. Is it time we stop routinely removing the non-diseased tonsil? @WashUMedENT

Very useful data. Now, it's time to generalize these conclusions to the unknown primary diagnostic work-up. The likelihood that a contralateral tonsil cancer generated the malignant adenopathy is too trivial to warrant bilateral tonsillectomies to find the primary, and oropharyngeal stenosis is more common following the more extensive surgery and radiation.

Systematic review and meta-analysis: Omitting contralateral elective extracapsular tonsillectomy in tonsillar SCCa is safe, with low metachronous contralateral second primary tumor rates and no difference in survival outcomes. ja.ma/4fEMXj1 @andrewpete_

What are the defect characteristics, pt factors, and intra-op variables that predict wound complications of scalp local flap recon? See our new paper below. We also propose a novel scalp local flap algorithm for cutaneous malignancies. @WashUMedENT …-hnsfjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/oh…

We are pleased to share our RCT data assessing the efficacy of stellate ganglion block for COVID-19-associated parosmia. We strongly do not recommend this widely used treatment based on our results. @JAMAOto @WashUMedENT jamanetwork.com/journals/jamao…

Congratulations to @WashUMedENT resident Dr. Andrew Peterson on winning the top poster award for the American Head and Neck Society at COSM in New Orleans. His data helps settle the debate of unilateral vs. bilateral transoral surgery for tonsil SCCa @andrewpete_

Dr. Warner was an incredible surgeon, mentor, educator, and researcher. I first shadowed him at age 16 and was fortunate to work with him again as an intern in residency. He is one of the most distinguished @UMKCmedschool alums and true inspiration to all. surgery.wustl.edu/on-the-passing…

We learned yesterday of the passing of Dr. Brad Warner @BradWarnerMD @WashUSurgery @STLChildrens . He was a giant in the world of Pediatric Surgery, who amongst all his accolades was the 64th President of the Society of University Surgeons @UnivSurg . surgery.wustl.edu/on-the-passing… Brad was one of the best - phenomenal surgeon, leader, scientist, educator, mentor, and one of the kindest people one can ever know. He was an amazing pillar of support to so many of us across the nation. physicians.wustl.edu/items/brad-war… Official tributes are forthcoming. Our deepest condolences to his wife Dr. Barbara Warner, his daughters Lauren and Emily, and to his cherished family and friends. May his memory be eternal 🙏🏾 @colinalexmartin

Big congrats to our incoming residency class! The future is bright

Excited to share our editorial in response to the landmark NEJM RCT evaluating pomalidomide versus placebo for HHT-associated epistaxis @NEJM @JAMAOto @PiccirilloJay

Excited to share our latest collaboration between @WUSTL_ENT and @KU_ENT looking at the rare but serious event of post-radiation hemorrhage requiring embolization and its prognostic significance in patients with H&N SCCa. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/he…
