The impact of music on patient tolerance during office-based laryngeal surgery.
Laryngoscope Investig Otolaryngol
February 2025
Objective: To investigate the impact of music on patient tolerance during office-based laryngeal surgery (OBLS).
Methods: All patients undergoing OBLS between February 2024 to June 2024 were invited to participate in this study. They were divided into two subgroups, those with music in the background during surgery and those without.
Efficacy and safety of office-based diode laser ablation for recurrent low-grade non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer under local anaesthesia: A pilot study.

Introduction: Low-grade tumors account for approximately 50% of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) with recurrence rates between 46% and 62%. Management of NMIBC recurrence typically involves transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) under general or regional anesthesia, which carries perioperative risks and considerable healthcare costs due to repeated procedures. Therefore, less invasive treatments such as office-based laser ablation, which aim to manage recurrences and reduce inpatient procedures without compromising oncological control, are needed.

Eur Arch Otorhinolaryngol
November 2024
Department of Oto-Rhino-Laryngology and Head and Neck Surgery, AP-HM, La Conception University Hospital, Aix-Marseille University, 147 Boulevard Baille, Marseille CEDEX 5, 13385, France.
Background: Treating options for vocal fold cysts became more diversified with office-based laryngological surgery advances, offering new soft interventions, promising a good vocal outcome within a shorter healing period.
Methods: We proposed two types of in-office surgeries, performed in the outpatient setting: a cyst punction-aspiration emptying the cyst, relieving its tension and improving the mucosal wave, with 4 cases showing no refilling within one year of follow-up, and a cyst marsupialization with Blue Laser, with 3 reported cases showing good vocal fold healing within three months.
Conclusion: Both techniques showed promising results in improving vocal function and minimizing recovery time.

J Voice
October 2023
Department of Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery, Drexel University College of Medicine, Lankenau Institute for Medical Research, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Objective: Bilateral vocal fold paralysis can be a disabling condition with an adverse impact on quality of life. Various glottal widening procedures to secure the airway have been described. These include total or partial arytenoidectomy with or without reinnervation, cordotomy, arytenoidopexy, and others.

Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, Boston Medical Center Boston University Chobanian and Avedisian School of Medicine, Boston, Massachusetts, U.S.A.
Objective: To analyze national trends in the prevalence of office-based laryngeal ablative procedures and compare those with traditional operative excisional procedures utilizing direct laryngoscopy.
Methodology: For years 2013-2022, the US Medicare Part B claims database was searched for Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes 31572 (flexible laryngoscopy with laser ablation of lesion), 31540 (operative direct laryngoscopy with excision of lesion), 31541 (operative direct microlaryngoscopy with excision of lesion), and 31545 (operative direct microlaryngoscopy with excision of lesion and local tissue flap reconstruction). For each CPT code, the total number of charges billed to the Medicare database in each calendar year was recorded and annual trends were analyzed.
