Allograft Nerve Repair of a Transected Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve With Voice and Singing Recovery Open
Recurrent laryngeal nerve injuries can occur during thyroid and neck procedures or similar interventions. Immediate nerve repair when possible is preferred to both faciliate the repair and allow timely recovery of the muscle. Here, we repo…

The Impact of Tracheal Stenosis on Distal Airway Pressure with Jet Ventilation Open
Objective This study investigates the effects of tracheal stenosis on distal airway pressure during low‐frequency jet ventilation (LFJV) in tracheal stenosis resection procedures, focusing on variables like stenosis size, depth, scope type…

Isolated laryngeal Mucormycosis requiring laryngectomy Open
We report a case of isolated laryngeal mucormycosis in a patient who presented in diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). The patient was managed with antifungal therapy and eventual total laryngectomy. To our knowledge, this is the first case presen…

Multicenter Development and Validation of the Vocal Cord Paralysis Experience (CoPE), a Patient-Reported Outcome Measure for Unilateral Vocal Fold Paralysis–Specific Disability Open
Importance Unilateral vocal fold paralysis (UVFP) is a common and life-changing complication of cancer, trauma, and an estimated 500 000 head, neck, and chest surgeries performed annually in the US, among other causes (eg, idiopathic). Con…

Association of Social Determinants of Health with Time to Diagnosis and Treatment Outcomes in Idiopathic Subglottic Stenosis Open
Objectives: To examine whether social determinants of health (SDH) factors are associated with time to diagnosis, treatment selection, and time to recurrent surgical intervention in idiopathic subglottic stenosis (iSGS) patients. Methods: …
View article: Jet flow rate and needle position govern distal airway pressures during low‐frequency jet ventilation
Jet flow rate and needle position govern distal airway pressures during low‐frequency jet ventilation Open
Objectives Although jet ventilation is frequently used during surgery for airway stenosis, little is known about distal airway pressures during jet ventilation. The objective of the study is to determine how jet pressure, flow rate, and po…

The Association Between Endotracheal Tube Size and Aspiration (During Flexible Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing) in Acute Respiratory Failure Survivors Open
Objectives: To determine whether a modifiable risk factor, endotracheal tube size, is associated with the diagnosis of postextubation aspiration in survivors of acute respiratory failure. Design: Prospective cohort study. Setting: ICUs at …

Comparative Treatment Outcomes for Patients With Idiopathic Subglottic Stenosis Open
In this cohort study of 810 patients with iSGS, endoscopic dilation, the most popular surgical approach for iSGS, was associated with a higher recurrence rate compared with other procedures. Cricotracheal resection offered the most durable…

Voice therapy associated with a decrease in the reflux symptoms index in patients with voice complaints Open
Objectives/Hypothesis Patients with muscle tension dysphonia often demonstrate an elevation in Reflux Symptom Index (RSI) and 10‐item Voice Handicap Index (VHI‐10) scores, and may be erroneously diagnosed with laryngopharyngeal reflux dise…
