Combined Open Surgery and CO Laser for Giant Supraglottic Hemangioma in an Adult: A Case Report.

Laryngeal hemangiomas are rare vascular tumors, mainly in children, and less common in adults. Giant lesions typically require multiple endoscopic procedures and temporary tracheostomy. Open surgery allows single-procedure removal with fewer complications.

The Global Experience of Laryngeal Transplantation: Series of Eleven Patients in Three Continents.

Background: The loss of laryngeal function affects breathing, swallowing, and voice, thus severely compromises quality of life. Laryngeal transplantation has long been suggested as a solution for selected highly affected patients with complete laryngeal function loss.

Objective: To obtain insights regarding the advantages, weaknesses, and limitations of this procedure and facilitate future advances, we collected uniform data from all known laryngeal transplants reported internationally.

Airway Sequelae After Mechanical Ventilation for COVID-19: Protocol for a Scoping Review.

Background: The epidemiology, morbidity, and burden of disease related to airway sequelae associated with invasive mechanical ventilation in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic remain unclear.

Objective: This scoping review aims to summarize the current knowledge regarding airway sequelae after severe SARS-CoV-2 infection. This knowledge will help guide research endeavors and decision-making in clinical practice.

Laryngotracheal Stenoses Post-Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome due to COVID-19: Clinical Presentation, Histopathological Findings and Management. A Series of 12 Cases.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has increased the risk of developing severe acute respiratory distress syndrome and subsequent moderate to severe laryngotracheal stenoses (LSTs) with an early presentation that occurs between two and three months after SARS-CoV-2 infection. We present a series of 12 cases of LST following SARS-CoV-2 infection. Dense lymphocyte infiltration with multinuclear giant cell granulomas was found on biopsy with intranuclear inclusions, suggestive of viral cytopathic effects in one case and intravascular fibrin thrombi with perivascular mononuclear infiltrate of CD3 + T lymphocytes.

Damage control of laryngotracheal trauma: the golden day.

Laryngotracheal trauma is rare but potentially life-threatening as it implies a high risk of compromising airway patency. A consensus on damage control management for laryngotracheal trauma is presented in this article. Tracheal injuries require a primary repair.

Widening of posterior glottis through rotation of the arytenoid on its axis: Report of nine cases.

Introduction: Bilateral vocal folds' immobility is a challenge in laryngology. Multiple procedures have been proposed to improve breathing by statically enlarging the glottal airway, what also results in loss of voice and aspiration. We proposed a technique to enlarge the posterior glottis by rotating the arytenoids on its axis, imitating the function of the posterior cricoarytenoid muscle, with the objective of evaluating the results regarding decannulation, voice quality, and bronchoaspiration.
