A thyroglossal duct cyst is one of the most common congenital anomalies of the midline neck.
Vocal Rest, Semi-Occluded Vocal Tract Exercises Partially Mitigate Vocal Exertion Effects from Chronic Vocal Fatigue
Vocal exertion can result in chronic vocal fatigue, putting individuals at risk for voice disorders.
Concurrent Modified Barium Swallow Study and Esophagrams Superior to Either Alone in Diagnosing Dysphagia
Concurrent modified barium swallow (MBS) study and esophagrams may improve diagnostic accuracy, but they minimize additional studies.
Vocal Cord Leukoplakia Management Trends Include Advanced Surgical Techniques, Voice Preservation
Here’s what a detailed literature review related to the epidemiology, diagnosis, and management of vocal cord leukoplakia reveal about oncologic outcomes, voice preservation, and current and emerging techniques.
What Is the Utility of Genetic Testing in Indeterminate Thyroid Nodules?
In addition to helping the patient avoid unnecessary diagnostic surgery, these assessments may provide critical insight as well as offer contemporary personalized treatment options for advanced disease.
Extensive Dataset for Esophageal Dilation Shows Very Low Rates of Complications, Mortality
Evidence from a national insurance claim database suggests that esophageal dilation is a safe procedure with a very low rate of serious complications and mortality.
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
