Central sleep apnea can be easily mistaken for obstructive sleep apnea; enhancing during drug-induced sleep endoscopy with additional measurements enables sleep surgeons to correlate physiologic and anatomic assessment to distinguish between the two apneas.
Remotely Reported Peak Flow Meter Measurements Demonstrate Disease Progression, Predict Need for Surgery in Patients with Subglottal Stenosis
Peak flow meter measurements can adequately demonstrate disease progression and predict the need for surgery in patients with SGS disease and, together with dyspnea Index (DI) scores, may be a useful tool for remotely following these patients.
Upfront Transoral Laser Microsurgery May Offer Survival Benefit Over Radiotherapy in Patients With Early-Stage Supraglottic Squamous Cell Carcinoma
An upfront Transoral Laser Microsurgery-based surgical approach to T2N0 SSCC may offer an overall survival benefit compared with definitive Radiotherapy in Patients with Early-Stage Supraglottic Squamous Cell Carcinoma.
Morbidity and Mortality Are Low in Children Who Undergo Bronchoscopy For Pediatric Airway Foreign Body Aspiration
Morbidity and mortality are low in children undergoing bronchoscopy for Airway Foreign Body Aspiration; a downward mortality trend suggests improvement in the safety of this procedure.
A New Committee Is Helping Foster Research and Awareness of Otolaryngology’s Role in Treating Cleft Lip and Palate Repair
A new committee of specialized otolaryngologists play a critical role in surgically repairing cleft lips and palates and caring for those born with these childhood conditions, but the general public and referring physicians are not always aware of their significant contributions.
How To: Extended External Rhinoplasty Approach for Nasal Dermoids With Intracranial Extension
Extended external rhinoplasty with bilateral marginal and alar base incisions provides access to the nasal part of the dermoid and excellent visualization of the anterior skull base for complete excision of large intracranial cysts in a cosmetically favorable manner.
How To: Expanded Transcanal Transpromontorial Approach for Acoustic Neuroma Removal
Despite the accumulating evidence of feasibility, safety, and positive functional outcomes of the Expanded Transcanal Transpromontorial Approach, its spread has been restricted to few centers across the world.
How To: Modified Endoscopic Dacryocystorhinostomy Nasal Mucoperiosteal Flap Technique
Due to its facial scar avoidance, better accuracy in locating the lacrimal sac, and decreased blood loss, endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy (eDCR) has become much more popular than external approaches.
Persistent Tracheocutaneous Fistula Seen in More Than Half of Decannulated Children
A tracheocutaneous fistula (TCF) commonly persists after pediatric tracheostomy decannulation, potentially preventing tract closure and negatively impacting phonation, swallowing, and cough physiology.
Elective Neck Dissection Does Not Improve Survival Rate but May Have Prognostic Role in Oral Cavity Mucosal Melanoma
Elective Neck Dissection does not improve survival rate but may be useful for staging and identifying candidates for treatment intensification, as well as for offering prognostic information to the patient.
