- Tracheal resection anastomosis is the standard surgery for high-grade postintubation subglottic stenosis, and this study compares the effects of two laryngeal release techniques on postoperative swallowing outcomes.
- The study involved 71 patients, split into two groups based on the type of infrahyoid laryngeal release: mini infrahyoid release (no fracture of the thyroid horn) and full infrahyoid release (with fracture).
- Results showed that group A (mini release) had significantly better swallowing outcomes post-surgery than group B (full release), as evidenced by higher GUSS scores and improved assessments in the month following surgery.

- The study focuses on exploratory tympanotomy for traumatic ossicular disruption in patients with an intact tympanic membrane, highlighting the growing use of endoscopy for diagnosis and treatment.
- A review of 136 ears showed that incudostapedial dislocation was the most common type of disruption, and surgical intervention led to significant improvements in hearing.
- The findings suggest that endoscopic ear surgery is an effective approach for diagnosing and managing complex cases of ossicular disruption following trauma.
