Feasibility of Laryngeal Joint Replacement: A Proof of Concept Study in Cadavers. [PDF]
LaryngoscopeTreatment in advanced cases of posterior laryngeal stenosis relies on permanent tracheostomy or irreversible arytenoidectomy/cordectomy, which are compromises between voice, swallowing, and airway. While having intact laryngeal neuromuscular function, there is immobility of the vocal cord due to scarring and ankylosis of the cricoarytenoid joint.

High-Riding Innominate Artery: Booby Trap for ICU Tracheotomy. [PDF]
LaryngoscopeDespite tracheotomy being a routine procedure, it is not rare to encounter anatomic irregularities that can compromise its success. In this report, we describe a case in which a high‐riding innominate artery was identified within the surgical trajectory moments before incision, which ultimately necessitated airway securement using an alternative ...
