What is the efficacy and safety of sodium oxybate versus placebo in patients with isolated laryngeal dystonia (LD)?

The authors describe their current approach for flexible endoscopic management of Zenker’s diverticulum. This approach uses the latest techniques in flexible Zenker’s surgery, including submucosal division of the muscular common wall, partial mucosal wall division, and watertight closure.

This is a case of an 85-year-old patient with a cT2N0 laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma treated using CO2 transoral laser exoscopic surgery (TOLES).
PRP injections resulted in improved patient-reported outcome measures and auditory–perceptual measures of voice and are a promising treatment option for vocal fold scar and sulci.

Laryngology enables Dr. Syamal to apply her love of engineering, fluid dynamics, and the physics of vibrations to the clinical pathology and ENT disease conditions she treats.
The cellular landscape of the mouse model larynx contains multiple macrophages and secretory epithelial cell populations; commensal microbiota has an extensive impact on the laryngeal immune system.
Combining minimal access endoscopic approaches to the ITF can provide significantly greater exposure than an isolated endoscopic transnasal transpterygoid approach (EETA), thereby providing enhanced access to address lesions with extensive involvement of the ITF.
Awake videolaryngoscopy intubation is an excellent strategy to adopt in patients with laryngeal cancer, particularly when potentially complicated intubation is expected.

This study describes the successful use of a hybrid resection and laryngotracheoplasty procedure that maximizes airway luminal patency in adults with successful decannulation.
