Management and prognosis of iatrogenic perforations of the cervical oesophagus and hypopharynx.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates factors impacting the treatment and outcomes of iatrogenic cervical oesophageal and hypopharyngeal perforations (iCEHPs) by analyzing data from 24 patients treated from 2004 to 2021.
- It was found that surgical neck exploration was the most common treatment, especially for uncontained perforations, and patients managed surgically typically had higher C-reactive protein (CRP) levels.
- Key findings highlighted that delayed diagnosis increases mortality risk, and a history of neck irradiation significantly worsens patient prognosis.
Background: Laryngeal chondroradionecrosis (LCRN) is a rare but severe complication of radiation therapy. The study aimed to review the management of LCRN and evaluate the clinical benefit of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT).
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed all radiation-induced LCRN patients between 2006 and 2019 at a tertiary medical center.
Objectives: Laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is a predominantly male illness. Although the rate of female patients increased, a knowledge gap exists in the medical literature regarding gender-based differences.
Design: Retrospective cohort study.
Objective: Whenever a cortectomy is indicated, obviating preoperative biopsy and practicing a single-stage-laser-cordectomy (SSLC) may expedite treatment and preserve surgical planes. This may result in more superficial resections and improved vocal function. Yet, SSLC holds a risk for over-treating nonmalignant lesions.

- - The study aimed to assess how different factors, like audio equipment and language use, affect vocal habits during online meetings (OMs) in a group of forty participants.
- - Participants experienced various setups, including different audio devices and languages, while their vocal effort and performance were recorded and analyzed.
- - Key findings revealed that speaking in a second language and using a computer's built-in microphone led to increased vocal strain, which could heighten the risk of vocal damage.
