Traditional approaches to laryngotracheal reconstruction have relied on open transcervical approaches. With the growth of endoscopic techniques, there have been multiple advances in minimally invasive procedures to augment airway stenosis in pediatric patients.
In this How I Do It article, a single-port endoscopic removal of forehead osteoma technique for otolaryngologists and the associated outcomes are described.
Laryngomalacia (LM) is the most common congenital laryngeal anomaly caused by a delay in the maturation of supporting laryngeal cartilages. Three-dimensional exoscopy has had satisfactory and promising results in adults, but only a few pediatric series have been published.
The newer DaVinci single port system offers the potential advantage of increased access and flexibility through a smaller incision and working tunnel.
This conservative technique for treating nasal septal deformity in a newborn with a nostril retainer allows preservation of the medial wall of the maxillary sinus with consistent benefits in terms of postoperative morbidity.
This full-extension eyebrow approach allows full exposure of the frontal sinus with a large osteoplastic bone flap and preservation of the supraorbital nerve.
The Procreate application was utilized on iPad Pro to intraoperatively annotate 3D renderings of head and neck surgical defects and resection specimens. By using Procreate on an iPad, the surgeon could annotate intraoperatively without breaking scrub to indicate the breadth of supplemental margins harvested in real time.
The aim of oroantral fistula management is to repair the defect, restoring the integrity of the sinus and oral cavity and preventing sinus infections.
Minimally invasive OSIA 2 System reduces the risk of signal attenuation and skin complications, which were limitations of previous percutaneous and older transcutaneous devices.
It is commonly accepted that early diagnosis and timely and effective joint reduction are the keys to treating arytenoid dislocation. In this article we take a look at a novel five-step reduction technique.
