BACKGROUND The thyroid cartilage is the most prominent laryngeal cartilage located beneath the hyoid bone. Non-traumatic fractures of the larynx, including the thyroid cartilage, are rare and can occur when the glottis is closed and intrathoracic pressure suddenly increases. This report describes the case of a 42-year-old man presenting with hoarseness and pain when swallowing and a diagnosis of non-traumatic thyroid cartilage fracture following sudden neck movement, highlighting the importance of recognizing atypical mechanisms of laryngeal injury.

Accurate vocal fold (VF) pose estimation is crucial for diagnosing larynx diseases that can eventually lead to VF paralysis.

This is a subjective and time-consuming procedure requiring extensive expertise.

Purpose: To introduce a novel technique utilizing a pedicled ventricular mucosal flap (PVMF) following one-stage, radical resection of T1b glottic cancer with anterior commissure involvement by transoral laser surgery, and to explore the oncological and functional outcomes, as well as its efficacy in preventing postoperative anterior glottic web formation.
Methods: Twelve patients diagnosed with T1bN0M0 glottic cancer involving anterior commissure underwent one-stage, radical resection of tumor by transoral laser surgery combined with PVMF between January 2021 and June 2023. The relative vocal fold length and Voice Handicap Index-10(VHI-10) scores at 6 months postoperatively were measured.

Introduction: Frontal anterior laryngectomy with epiglottic reconstruction (Tucker's reconstructive surgery) is a technique of partial laryngectomy that has been used by several authors since its introduction in the 80s.The aim of this serie is to specify the indications of this operation and to present the functional and oncological outcomes of our study and those found in the literature.
Materials And Methods: We report a retrospective study of 65 cases who underwent Tucker's operation by many surgeons at our educational center over a period of 31 years (1988 - 2020).
