Detection of laryngeal carcinoma during endoscopy using artificial intelligence.

Head Neck

Department of Otorhinolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery, Radboud University Medical Center, Nijmegen, The Netherlands.

Published: September 2023

Background: The objective of this study was to assess the performance and application of a self-developed deep learning (DL) algorithm for the real-time localization and classification of both vocal cord carcinoma and benign vocal cord lesions.

Methods: The algorithm was trained and validated upon a dataset of videos and photos collected from our own department, as well as an open-access dataset named "Laryngoscope8".

Results: The algorithm correctly localizes and classifies vocal cord carcinoma on still images with a sensitivity between 71% and 78% and benign vocal cord lesions with a sensitivity between 70% and 82%. Furthermore, the best algorithm had an average frame per second rate of 63, thus making it suitable to use in an outpatient clinic setting for real-time detection of laryngeal pathology.

Conclusion: We have demonstrated that our developed DL algorithm is able to localize and classify benign and malignant laryngeal pathology during endoscopy.

Predictors of postoperative complications following thyroidectomy: A systematic review.

Surg Pract Sci

September 2024

Department of Surgery, Division of Surgical Oncology, College of Medicine, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL, USA.

Introduction: Thyroidectomy is considered a relatively safe procedure with a low risk of postoperative complications, making it challenging to identify predictors of complications to improve shared decision making. Recent advancements in clinical bioinformatics and surgical decision-making tools have the potential to improve patient outcomes. This systematic review aimed to assess the current understanding of factors predicting such complications following thyroidectomy.

Introduction Benign vocal cord lesions are diagnosed by clinical examination with usually an office-based laryngoscopy examination. The severity of voice impairment can be assessed by severity scores such as the Voice Handicap Index (VHI). These lesions are usually treated by conservative methods such as voice rest/restriction and voice therapy.
