Development of Surgical Site Infection One Year After Thyroplasty With Arytenoid Adduction.

Delayed complications of arytenoid adduction and medialization laryngoplasty are rarely reported in the literature. Clinicians should be aware that performing an AA alongside an ML may seed oral cavity bacteria into the paralaryngeal space. This may result in delayed infection-especially in immunocompromised patients-necessitating implant removal and antibiotics.

Voice and Airway Outcomes of Montgomery T-tube Placement in Laryngotracheal Stenosis.

Objectives: To describe voice and airway outcomes and complications experienced by patients with laryngotracheal stenosis following Montgomery T-tube placement.

Methods: Retrospective chart review of all patients with laryngotracheal stenosis and Montgomery T-tube placement treated at a tertiary referral center from 2012 to 2021.

Results: Eighteen patients met criteria with laryngotracheal stenosis, seven including the level of the glottis and 11 without glottal involvement.

Dysphagia Severity and Outcomes Following Iatrogenic High Vagal Nerve Injury.

Objective: To examine severity of dysphagia and outcomes following iatrogenic high vagal nerve injury.

Methods: Retrospective chart review of all patients with iatrogenic high vagal nerve injury that were seen at a tertiary referral center from 2012 to 2020.

Results: Of 1304 patients who met criteria for initial screening, 18 met all inclusion criteria.

Chronic Refractory Cough: Objective Improvement With Aerodynamic-Focused.

Objective: Previous investigations have reported that a chronic cough that is refractory to medical therapies improves with behavioral therapies. However, the treatment parameters that may account for improvement in cough symptoms have not yet been objectively documented. The purpose of this study was to document changes in chronic refractory cough using a breath training protocol.

Laryngeal Solitary Fibrous Tumor: A Case Report and Systematic Review.

Objectives/hypothesis: Solitary fibrous tumors are spindle cell neoplasms of mesenchymal origin that rarely occur in the larynx and may be mistaken for other pathologies. This case presentation and systematic review investigates presentation, treatment modalities, and outcomes of this unusual tumor.

Study Design: Systematic review of PubMed, CINAHL, Web of Science, and EMBASE including a novel case presentation METHODS: A systematic search according to the PRISMA guidelines was performed to isolate the reports of solitary fibrous tumors arising in the larynx and its subsites.

Quality of Life and Voice Changes After a Single Injection in Patients With ADSD Over Time.

Introduction: Adductor spasmodic dysphonia (ADSD) is one of the most disabling voice disorders with no permanent cure. Patients with ADSD suffer from poor voice quality and repeated interruption of phonation that leads to limitations in daily communication. Botox (BT) injection, considered the gold standard treatment for ADSD, reduces the amount of voice breaks and improves voice quality for a limited period.
