Influence of Tracheostomy Level on Surgical Management of Pediatric Airway Stenosis

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Tracheostomy location is a critical determinant of surgical complexity and outcomes in pediatric laryngotracheal stenosis. Misplacement may lead to longer tracheal resections, an increased need for stoma relocation, more complex reconstruction, and secondary stenosis. Strategic planning of tracheostomy position can improve surgical outcomes.

Risk Analysis Index Versus mFI‐5 for Predicting Outcomes After Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This retrospective database study of 2129 adults undergoing uvulopalatopharyngoplasty compared the risk analysis index (RAI) with the modified 5‐item frailty index (mFI‐5) for predicting 30‐day postoperative outcomes and found that frailty was associated with worse morbidity, prolonged hospitalization, non‐home discharge, and mortality.

Outcomes of Mandible Reconstruction Using Surgeon‐Specific, Patient‐Specific, and Conventional Plates

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To compare operative metrics, postoperative complications, and radiographic osseous union among surgeon‐specific plates (SSPs), patient‐specific plates (PSPs), and conventional un‐bent plates (CPs) in microvascular mandibular reconstruction. Methods A retrospective review was performed of 171 patients who underwent osseous mandibular

Reinstatement and generic reassignment of Phyllanthus asteranthos Croizat (Phyllanthaceae) based on living plant observations and specimen analysis

open access: yesNordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Phyllanthus asteranthos Croizat has been treated as a synonym of P. pulcher Wall. ex Müll. Arg. (syn. Nymphanthus glaucescens (Miq.) R.W.Bouman) since 1987. Through detailed morphological observations of living plants and critical examinations of type materials and additional specimens, this study revealed that the two taxa are morphologically very ...
