The endotracheal tube (ETT) with laryngeal adhesive electrodes for intraoperative neural monitoring (IONM) may be related to laryngopharyngeal complications, such as postoperative sore throat (POST), hoarseness, and coughing. We aimed to evaluate the effects of the ETT with laryngeal adhesive electrodes for IONM on the occurrence of laryngopharyngeal complications during thyroidectomy. In this retrospective study, we included 176 patients who underwent thyroidectomy for thyroid cancer between September 2020 and February 2021. The patients were categorized into control ( = 108) and IONM ( = 68) groups. Patients in the IONM group were intubated with the ETT with surface electrodes. Characteristics of the patients and surgery, perioperative variables, and laryngopharyngeal complications, including POST, hoarseness, and cough, were evaluated. The severity and incidence of POST were comparable between the two groups on postoperative days 0, 1, and 2 ( = 0.103, 0.386, and 0.056, respectively). Furthermore, no significant differences were observed in the occurrence of postoperative hoarseness and cough between the groups. The ETT with laryngeal adhesive electrodes for IONM during thyroidectomy did not affect the incidence and severity of postoperative laryngopharyngeal complications, including POST, hoarseness, and cough. Further prospective, double-blinded, randomized clinical trials are required to gain a clearer understanding.

The effectiveness of unimodality organ preservation surgical vs organ preservation radiotherapy for early hypopharyngeal cancer: a systematic review protocol.
JBI Evid Synth

JBI, Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, The University of Adelaide, Adelaide, SA, Australia.
Objective: Our aim is to determine the comparative effectiveness of unimodality organ preservation surgery versus radiotherapy on oncological and functional outcomes in patients with early hypopharyngeal cancer.
Introduction: Early hypopharyngeal cancer is difficult to detect and therefore rarely diagnosed, as patients are often asymptomatic. Radiotherapy is considered the main treatment, although this modality has been compared to the previously used open surgical approach, which may not reflect current surgical options.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of pedicled supraclavicular flaps in hypopharyngectomy reconstruction, with a focus on preserving laryngeal function.
Methods: From August 2019 to June 2022, 14 patients with primary hypopharyngeal carcinoma who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria and underwent the repair of hypopharyngeal defects using pedicled supraclavicular flaps were included retrospectively. Relevant clinical evaluation indicators include patient characteristics, defect sizes, flap sizes, flap harvesting time, postoperative hospital stay, postoperative complications, recurrence, and survival outcomes.

Background: Direct laryngoscopy and biopsy have been the standard of care for biopsy of lesions arising from the upper aerodigestive tract (UADT). The requirement of general anesthesia is often a prerequisite. Procedures performed under the laryngeal block and local anesthesia are not viewed as appropriate from the point of view of patient comfort.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how diagnostic methods and treatments affect outcomes and survival rates in patients with pharyngeal perforations caused by medical procedures or trauma.
- A total of 36 patients were reviewed, with most being older adults (median age 73), and the majority had perforations located in the hypopharynx, which are associated with higher mortality risk.
- Results indicated that these patients had significantly higher risks of complications and mortality, especially linked to specific medical procedures like neurosurgery and transesophageal echocardiography.
