Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis: comparing in-office and operating room treatments.
Acta Otorhinolaryngol Ital

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on a new way to treat a disease called recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP) using both office visits and general anesthesia.
- They compared how well patients felt after treatment between those using the new method and those who only had general anesthesia before.
- Results showed that patients treated in the office had a better quality of life and fewer healthcare costs after a year of treatment.
Article Synopsis
- The study looks at how the edges of tumors in patients with a type of throat cancer (LSCC) treated with specific surgery (TOLMS) affect their chances of surviving.
- Researchers reviewed several previous studies to find out how having "positive" (cancerous) or "close" (very near) edges on the tumor might change survival rates.
- They found that more information is needed to understand the true impact of those edges on survival since the results were not clear and not enough studies provided good data.
Objective: The prognostic value of depth of invasion (DOI) in oral squamous cell cancer carcinoma and cutaneous melanoma is well established, while there is a lack of reports investigating the role of DOI in laryngeal cancer. This study aims to explore the association of glottic cancer DOI with other established pathological risk factors and nodal metastasis and evaluate the feasibility of measuring DOI preoperatively using tomographic imaging.
Methods: The medical records of glottic cancer patients treated between 2015 and 2020 in a single tertiary referral center were screened retrospectively.
Objective: Benign laryngeal lesions have traditionally been treated through suspension laryngoscopy under general anesthesia (GA). Recently, the development of operative videoendoscopes coupled with photoangiolytic lasers has allowed clinicians to treat these conditions in the outpatient clinic. We report our experience in the office-based (OB) setting for the treatment of patients affected by vocal fold polyps (VFPs) and Reinke's edema (RE), comparing it to patients treated under GA.
