An increasingly popular tool used across multiple surgical specialties is three-dimensional (3D) printing, which offers the opportunity for case-by-case customization.
How To: A Novel Surgery for Intractable Canalicular Obstruction
We introduce a novel method, conjunctivoductivo-dacryocystorhinostomy, for anastomosis of the conjunctiva and nasolacrimal duct without leaving any facial scars or foreign bodies in semi-permanent detention.
How To: Transoral Endoscopic Vestibular Approach to the Sistrunk Procedure
Using a transoral endoscopic vestibular approach to the Sistrunk procedure results in an improved cosmetic outcome while achieving all objectives of the traditional approach
How To: Balloon-Assisted Rib Graft Placement in Endoscopic Posterior Cricoid Split Procedure
We present a modified EPCS/RG that involves the use of balloon dilation to aid in the the placement of the cartilage graft into the divided cricoid lamina.
How To: Catheter-Guided Basket Removal of a Difficult-to-Reach Pediatric Airway Foreign Body
Use of a bent flexible suction catheter to guide a urological wire basket during rigid bronchoscopy is a feasible technique for foreign body removal in the distal pediatric airway.
How To: Limit the Rate of Recurrence in Thyroglossal Duct Surgery
A thyroglossal duct cyst is one of the most common congenital anomalies of the midline neck.
How To: Endoscopic Anterior and Posterior Cricoid Split for Bilateral Vocal Fold Paralysis
Endoscopic anterior and posterior cricoid split (EAPCS) has emerged as an alternative that is nondestructive and can offer a long-lasting solution to congenital BVFP while avoiding tracheostomy.
How To: Technique, Pitfalls of the Transaxillary Approach for Robotic Thyroidectomy
Advantages of thyroidectomy using transaxillary robotic surgery (TARS) are cosmetic, a high-definition view of structures, and a reduced risk of compressive cervical hematoma; the main drawbacks are the cost and duration of the procedure
How To: Novel Endoscopic Technique to Repair Large Septal Perforation
The objective of this study is to describe step by step an innovative technique to repair large septal perforations with a pure endoscopic extended AEA flap.
How To: Rapid, Effective Cannulation for Salivary Duct Access
We demonstrate a novel, simplistic, and rapid approach to cannulation, dilation, and sialendoscope insertion that can be completed in an outpatient setting with the assistance of viscous lidocaine gel.
