Functional and oncological outcomes of transoral laser versus robotic surgery in supraglottic squamous cell carcinoma.

Objective: To compare the surgical, functional and oncological outcomes of Transoral Laser Microsurgery (TLM) and Transoral Robotic Surgery (TORS) for the treatment of supraglottic squamous cell carcinoma.

Study Design: Retrospective case series with prospective data.

Settings: Tertiary Academic Medical Center.

Tele-rehabilitation in voice disorders during the pandemic: a consensus paper from the French Society of Phoniatrics and Laryngology.

Objectives: To establish a consensus protocol for telerehabilitation in speech therapy for voice disorders.

Methods: The study was conducted according to a modified Delphi method. Twenty speech therapist or laryngologist experts of the French Society of Phoniatrics and Laryngology assessed 24 statements of voice telerehabilitation with a 10-point visual analog scale ranging from 1 (totally disagree) to 10 (totally agree).

Voice Quality Outcomes After Transoral CO Laser Cordectomy: A Longitudinal Prospective Study.

Objective: To evaluate the evolution of voice quality in patients after type I-VI transoral CO laser cordectomy (TLC) by using validated voice outcome measures over a 12-month period.

Study Design: Prospective uncontrolled study.

Setting: Monocenter study.

Post-Laryngectomy Voice Prosthesis Changes by Speech-Language Pathologists: Preliminary Results.

Background: In the present study, we assess the feasibility and success outcomes of voice prosthesis (VP) changes when performed by a speech-language pathologist (SLP).

Methods: Patients treated with total laryngectomy (TL) from January 2020 to December 2020 were prospectively recruited from our medical center. Patients benefited from tracheoesophageal puncture.

Surgical and oncological outcomes of transoral robotic total laryngectomy: A case series.

Objective: To evaluate the oncological, functional and voice rehabilitation outcomes of transoral robotic surgery for total laryngectomy (TORS-TL).

Methods: A retrospective chart review of patients treated by TORS-TL was conducted at a single academic medical center. The following outcomes were studied: indication; average robotic set-up and operative times; mean estimated blood loss; postoperative complications; re-feeding features; mean hospital stay; need of adjuvant therapy and voice rehabilitation type.

Bamboo Nodes on a Series of 15 Patients: Vocal Fold Lesion as a Sign of Autoimmune Disease and Microphonotrauma.

Objectives: Bamboo nodes are band-like submucosal deposits of the middle third of the vocal fold. They are often related to connective tissue disorders, but can also precede them. The aim of this study was to report our experience with conservative treatment of those rare lesions.
