Continental Preferences in Reconstruction of Pharyngolaryngectomy Defects: A Multi-National Survey.
Head Neck
January 2025
University of New South Wales, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.
Objectives: Reconstruction of total pharyngolaryngectomy defects may restore pharyngeal function and enable tracheoesophageal speech after resection of locoregionally advanced malignancy. Little remains known about variations in the practices and preferences of surgeons across differing global regions.
Methods: A survey was sent to reconstructive head and neck surgeons across three continents with responses analyzed to evaluate trends.
Robotic Resection of an Ectopic Parathyroid Gland: A Systematic Review.

Ectopic parathyroid glands result from abnormal migration during development. If not detected promptly, they can lead to persistent or recurrent primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT). Inferior parathyroid glands are typically located in the anterior mediastinum, while superior parathyroid glands are often near the tracheoesophageal groove, both of which contribute to pHPT.

Article Synopsis
- - Total laryngectomy is performed to treat advanced larynx cancer, and patients often require rehabilitation for communication, typically using a tracheoesophageal voice prosthesis (TEP) after treatment completion.
- - Traditional TEP placement techniques can be challenging for patients with neck issues like kyphosis or trismus, but a new method using a chest tube and flexible scope has proven successful for these patients.
- - The described technique has shown no failed placements or complications, making it suitable for those with difficult anatomical conditions while minimizing neck extension during the procedure.
A Novel Technique: Stapler-Assisted Total Laryngectomy with Concurrent Tracheoesophageal Prosthesis Insertion.
Indian J Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg
October 2024
Department of Surgical Oncology, Max Super Speciality Hospital, Vaishali, Uttar Pradesh India.
Introduction: Stapling-assisted closure of pharyngeal mucosa during total laryngectomy was described in 1973.Few authors have demonstrated that this technique provides a faster and more reliable pharyngeal closure with ashorter operative period. However, the simultaneous placement of tracheoesophageal prostheses is quitechallenging and affects the patient's speech rehabilitation.
