Objective: To analyze the impact of anterior commissure involvement on rates of local control, recurrence, and laryngeal preservation in patients with early glottic cancer (T1a-T2 lesions, staged according to the TNM staging system) treated with laser microsurgical resection.
Design: Retrospective review.
Setting: A tertiary university referral center.
Patients: Forty-eight patients with early glottic (T1-T2a) cancer.
Intervention: Laser endoscopic resection of glottic cancer.
Main Outcome Measures: Evaluation of local control and larynx preservation rates.
Results: Among 48 patients presenting with early glottic cancer, the anterior commissure was involved in 24 cases. The local control rate was 79% (19 cases), and the larynx preservation rate was 96% (23 cases). In the 24 cases without anterior commissure involvement, the local control rate was 96% (23 cases) and the corresponding larynx preservation rate was 100% (24 cases). The rate of local recurrence with anterior commissure involvement was 21% (5 cases) and was 4% (1 case) when this site was not compromised by the tumor. This difference was not statistically significant (P = .08). When the anterior commissure was compromised by a lesion, more surgical margins taken from the patient after the completion of surgery (additional margins) were compromised by squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) on permanent section (33% [8 cases]) compared with 0% from patients with anterior commissure involvement (P = .003), despite the fact that these margins were negative for disease on frozen section. Cases with additional margins compromised by SCC on permanent section (P = .004) and T1 lesions (P = .009) had a higher rate of recurrence.
Conclusions: This study shows the tendency toward greater additional margins compromised by SCC and a higher rate of tumor recurrence in lesions with anterior commissure involvement after laser microsurgery for early glottic carcinoma. Higher recurrence rates were observed in cases with compromised additional margins and in T1 cases.

Purpose: To examine the anatomy of the orbital septum posterior to the medial canthal tendon area.
Materials And Methods: We performed 3 anatomical dissections in the present study. The first one was a microscopic study in which exenterated specimens from 6 Japanese cadavers (age from 77 to 93 years at death) were cut inferno-horizontally, including the Müller muscle, medial rectus pulley, and lateral rectus pulley, and stained with Masson's trichrome.

The recommended treatment for early glottic cancer is trans-oral laser microsurgery, with excellent oncological and functional outcomes. The aim of this study is to evaluate oncological and functional outcomes in patients who underwent monolateral type III laser cordectomy for early glottic cancer. A total of 104 patients were enrolled.

Establish, through the determination of the glottic angle and area, a decision regarding safe and necessary interventions in bilateral vocal fold paralysis to maintain airway. From January 2008 to December 2023, we looked back at laryngoscopic photographs of subjects with bilateral vocal fold paralysis. The average vocal fold length for each gender was used to calculate the glottic areas and measure the corresponding glottic angles in a total of 26 cases.

Objective: In the loop technique for mitral valve repair, the loop bundles are usually created during cardiac arrest after chordal length measurements, which seems time-consuming and less reproducible. To address this issue, we determined the loop length preoperatively using 4-dimensional computed tomography.
Methods: The loop length was determined on the basis of the distance from the papillary muscle head to the free margin of nonprolapsing leaflet corresponding to the prolapsed leaflet, to which the loops would be secured.
