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.

Objective: Two-jaw surgery corrects jaw deformities by adjusting occlusion and reshaping the jaw. This technique carries a high risk of pharyngolaryngeal injury due to frequent head and neck movements during intraoperative maneuvers and prolonged intubation, although the details remain unclear. This study explored the frequency and causes of postoperative pharyngeal complications following maxillary translocation.

Laryngeal squamous cell cancer (LSCC) is one of the most common head and neck cancers in which genetic factors play an important role in its occurrence. This study investigated the association of and gene polymorphisms with the risk of LSCC. polymorphisms including rs712, rs61764370, rs8720, and rs9266, as well as NRAS rs14804, were compared in the patient group (n=120) and the control group (n=100).
