This retrospective study deals with the outcome of 401 patients with laryngeal carcinoma who were treated between 1975 and 1986 either by operation alone or by operation and irradiation. The patients as a group, the concepts of treatment, and the course of disease as found retrospectively are described. T and N categories are compared with the respective pT and pN categories: T and pT categories corresponded in 83.3% of the cases while there was only a 67.4% correspondence between each N and pN category. The survival rates using the Kaplan-Meier estimation according to the localization and extension of laryngeal tumor, pN category and method of resection are discussed in detail.

The choice between total thyroidectomy (TT) and subtotal thyroidectomy (STT) can affect postoperative complications and long-term outcomes in these patients. This study aimed to investigate postoperative complications and long-term outcomes in patients who underwent TT and STT. This retrospective study investigated 1.

Introduction: Voice abuse and misuse are the most common causes of benign vocal fold lesions (BVFL). Treatment may include a combination of voice therapy, singing sessions, or surgical resection. Otolaryngologists and speech language pathologists advocate for preoperative, as well as postoperative, voice therapy.

Objective: Chronic cough poses diagnostic and treatment challenges due to its often multifactorial nature. Chronic cough associated with laryngeal hypersensitivity is linked to sensory neuropathy of the superior laryngeal nerve and can be complex to manage. Superior laryngeal nerve (SLN) blocks are increasingly being utilized by laryngologists to treat refractory chronic cough with the intent of reducing inflammation and nerve hypersensitivity.

Background: Benign laryngeal lesions, characterized by non-cancerous growths in the larynx, significantly impact voice quality and respiratory function. These lesions, which include vocal cord polyps, nodules, papillomas, and cysts, often result from factors such as vocal abuse, viral infections, and chronic inflammation. While studies on benign laryngeal lesions are well-documented globally, data specific to Northern Nigeria remains sparse.

Article Synopsis
- Intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) is valuable in thyroid/parathyroid surgeries and aims to assess vocal cord paralysis (VCP) through variations in recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) amplitudes.
- A study involving 728 RLNs found that specific amplitude ranges (particularly V2 at 117-216 μV) effectively predicted VCP with high sensitivity and specificity.
- The findings suggest that measuring V2 amplitudes can serve as a reliable method to predict postoperative VCP, especially when initial vagus nerve exposure is limited.
