In this How I Do It article, a single-port endoscopic removal of forehead osteoma technique for otolaryngologists and the associated outcomes are described.
3D-4K Exoscope-Assisted CO2 Laser Supraglottoplasty for Severe Laryngomalacia in a Pediatric Patient
Laryngomalacia (LM) is the most common congenital laryngeal anomaly caused by a delay in the maturation of supporting laryngeal cartilages. Three-dimensional exoscopy has had satisfactory and promising results in adults, but only a few pediatric series have been published.
Inconsistency in Findings that Intraoperative Electrocochleography Improves Hearing Preservation in Cochlear Implantation
Electrocochleography (ECoG) has historically been used for measuring hearing thresholds and identifying endolymphatic hydrops in Ménière’s disease. More recently, ECoG application has expanded to monitor electrical potentials during cochlear implantation as an indirect measure of cochlear trauma.
Laryngeal Reinnervation Is Recommended Surgical Intervention for Pediatric Unilateral Vocal Fold Paralysis
Laryngeal reinnervation should be offered to all patients independent of patient age or duration of denervation, as it can improve voice and swallowing. Long-term denervation, however, may result in a smaller degree of improvement.
Determining Appropriate Objective Testing for Patients with Suspected Laryngopharyngeal Reflux
Staging severity of laryngopharyngeal reflux with more objective testing is crucial to understanding its natural history, forecasting response to treatment, and it may serve as a gateway to considering surgical treatments.
Patients with Oropharyngeal Cancer Report Taste Changes Following TORS
Self-reported taste changes in patients with oropharyngeal cancer who have had TORS are frequent; suspension time and glossopharyngeal nerve injury are unlikely to cause symptomatic TDs.
Extremely Preterm Infants Have Equivalent Decannulation Success but More Complications Post-LTR
Compared with all other patients, extremely premature infants have equivalent decannulation success but are at an increased risk for complications following LTR.
Voice Dissatisfaction Common Among the General Population
Dissatisfaction with one’s speaking voice is common, and a considerable percentage of the general population without voice disorders would consider interventions to change it.
QOL Factors Impact Patient Decision to Undergo Cochlear Implantation
Although functional outcome expectations are similar between candidates who elect to receive or forgo cochlear implants, the latter have higher baseline CI-specific quality of life abilities.
Higher Prevalence of Hearing Loss Among Cancer Survivors
Findings suggest that cancer survivors have a significantly higher prevalence of both audiometry-confirmed and self-reported hearing loss than the general population.
