Silk-hyaluronic acid injection laryngoplasty offers a safe, effective office-based treatment for glottic insufficiency, showing comparable voice improvement to hyaluronic acid alone but with higher rates of operative revisions.
This study identifies immune biomarkers, including proliferative CD8+ T cells, CD68+ macrophages, and PD-1 expression, which differentiate high-risk oral tongue epithelial dysplasia and may improve patient risk stratification beyond convent
This study assesses whether presbylarynx and laryngeal asymmetry observed on videostroboscopy predict voice complaints in adults over 65, finding no association despite common anatomical changes with aging.
This study highlights that hemorrhagic vocal fold polyps show superior response to office-based blue laser therapy combined with intralesional steroid injection compared to nonhemorrhagic polyps, with higher rates of complete regression and
This study evaluates High-Flow Nasal Cannula (HFNC) versus High-Frequency Jet Ventilation (HFJV) during endolaryngeal surgery, highlighting HFJV’s superiority in sustaining oxygenation and avoiding hypercapnia over longer durations.
This study evaluates the safety and clinical course of pregnant patients with idiopathic subglottic stenosis (iSGS), highlighting the need for operative intervention in over half and identifying antinuclear antibody positivity as a potentia
Postoperative pneumothorax after thyroid or parathyroid surgery is uncommon but linked with significantly increased mortality and complications, underscoring the need for vigilance and prompt management.
This mixed methods study details a six-year transition from total tonsillectomy to intracapsular tonsillectomy, highlighting improved postoperative outcomes and surgeon motivators behind adopting this safer surgical technique.
Functional rhinoplasty improves nasal obstruction symptoms and these disease-specific improvements correlate with reductions in anxiety, depression, and pain/discomfort, influencing long-term global quality of life.
This study compares the mechanical properties of slide tracheoplasty and end-to-end anastomosis in porcine tracheas, revealing lower tensile strength but greater force dispersion in slide tracheoplasty, with implications for airway reconstr
This study introduces a four-tier descriptive framework for petroclival and temporal bone meningiomas that shows significant correlation with surgical outcomes, offering a valuable tool to guide surgical planning and patient counseling.
This study demonstrates that elevated BMI and obesity classification do not increase the risk of complications or prolong recovery times following open airway reconstruction surgeries, guiding surgical decision-making in overweight and obes
This retrospective study assesses the safety and impact of tranexamic acid on bleeding, transfusions, and complications in head and neck free flap surgery, finding no significant difference in outcomes and supporting its safe use.
A study at The Ohio State Comprehensive Cancer Center reveals high rates of prolonged opioid use following radiation or chemoradiation in head and neck cancer patients, underscoring the need for tailored opioid stewardship.
A population-based cohort study in Sweden found that use of 5α-reductase inhibitors, which reduce bioactive testosterone, is associated with a 17% lower risk of laryngeal and hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma in men, supporting the hor
Core needle biopsy (CNB) demonstrates high diagnostic accuracy for major salivary gland tumors, offering a reliable tool to distinguish benign from malignant lesions and potentially reduce unnecessary surgeries.
This study assesses bony union rates after osseous microvascular midface reconstruction and their correlation with postoperative complications, emphasizing factors influencing union such as surgical technique and adjuvant therapies.
