Current opinion on laryngeal electromyography.

Purpose: This study evaluates expert opinion on laryngeal electromyography (LEMG).

Methods: A cross-sectional design was used to conduct an online survey of LEMG experts in 2021. They were questioned about the number LEMG performed annually, type of electrodes used, sector worked in, pain during the test, placement of the needle electrodes, interpretation of electrical muscle parameters, diagnosis of neuromuscular injury, prognostic sensitivity in vocal fold paralysis (VFP), laryngeal dystonia, tremor and synkinesis and quantifying LEMG.

Reconstruction of the lower lip after broad oncologic resection by Colmenero flap: a reliable option.

Objective: Reconstruction of the lower lip is complex. The Colmenero flap is an effective albeit rarely described method for the repair of medium- to large-sized defects of the lower lip.

Methods: A retrospective review was carried out using data gathered from patients who had undergone Colmenero flap reconstruction of the lower lip at our centre between 2015 and 2020.

Transoral laser microsurgery in locally advanced laryngeal cancer: Prognostic impact of anterior versus posterior compartments.

Background: To evaluate the importance of larynx compartments in the prognosis of T3-T4a laryngeal cancer treated with transoral laser microsurgery.

Methods: Two hundred and two consecutive pT3-T4a larynx carcinomas. Pre-epiglottic space involvement, anterior and posterior paraglottic space (PGS) involvement, vocal cord, and arytenoid mobility were determined.

Transoral oropharyngeal resection classification: Proposal of the SCORL working group.

Introduction And Goals: There has been a very significant increase in the use of minimally invasive surgery has in the last decade. In order to provide a common language after transoral surgery of the oropharynx, a system for classifying resections has been created in this area, regardless of the instrumentation used.

Methods: From the Oncology Working Group of the Catalan Society of Otorhinolaryngology, a proposal for classification based on a topographical division of the different areas of the oropharynx is presented, as also based on the invasion of the related structures according to the anatomical routes of extension of these tumours.
