The purpose of this study was to compare functional and oncological results of extended and standard supraglottic laryngectomies. One hundred ten patients with supraglottic carcinoma were treated. A standard supraglottic laryngectomy (SSL), a laterally extended supraglottic laryngectomy (LESL) and an anteriorly extended supraglottic laryngectomy (AESL) were performed on 32, 47 and 31 patients, respectively. Indications for postoperative radiotherapy included positive surgical margins (23% of patients) and/or node metastasis (63% of patients). Local recurrence occurred in 13% of SSL, 15% of LESL and 17% of AESL patients. Pulmonary complications due to aspiration were observed in 6% of SSL, 15% of LESL and 19% of AESL. The overall 5-year cure rates were 63% for SSL, 45% for LESL and 47% for the AESL procedures. Extended supraglottic laryngectomies provided as good a local tumor control as SSL. Extension to the hypopharynx (LESL) and to the vallecula (AESL) showed more frequent pulmonary complications and reduced cure rates.

Background: Neuroendocrine tumors are rare malignancies of the head and neck, especially in the larynx. Variations in the location and morphology of laryngeal neuroendocrine tumors result in a lack of standardized clinical treatment.
Objective: This study aimed to examine the treatment and prognosis of laryngeal neuroendocrine tumors in the G2 stage.

Introduction: Radiotherapy is currently used in approximately one-third of children with cancer. Treatments are typically received as weekday outpatient appointments over 3-6 weeks. The treatment is painless but requires a still, co-operative patient who can lie alone in set positions, facilitated by the use of immobilisation devices, for up to 1 h.

Interventional endoscopy procedures are challenging for anaesthesiologists due to the various patient, procedural, logistic, and position-related issues. Complex endoscopic procedures like biliary interventions and endoscopic myotomy necessitate longer procedural duration. The mode of anaesthesia is usually deep sedation without any definitive airway device and is frequently associated with hypoxemia events which can be catastrophic.

Article Synopsis
- This study focuses on the need for consistent treatment methods for supraglottic squamous cell carcinoma and evaluates the effectiveness of transoral laser microsurgery in improving patient survival outcomes.
- Conducted at a university hospital in Iran, the research involved 41 patients, mostly males, and used the Kaplan-Meier method to analyze survival rates over five years.
- The findings revealed a 68% overall recurrence-free survival rate and a 76% laryngectomy-free survival rate, indicating that the surgery offers promising outcomes, particularly for patients with earlier-stage tumors.

Background: Positive pressure ventilation (PPV) is an essential component of neonatal resuscitation. Meta-analytic evidence suggests that, among late preterm and term newborn infants who require resuscitation after birth, a supraglottic airway (SA) device is more effective than a face mask at reducing the probability of PPV failure and reducing the need for endotracheal intubation. However, SA devices are rarely used in routine practice in hospital delivery room settings within the United States.
