Comparison of In‐Office and General Anesthesia Biopsies for Oropharyngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma in a Public Healthcare System

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background We compared treatment delays, costs, and management impact between oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) patients undergoing in‐office versus general anesthesia panendoscopy‐guided biopsies in two large tertiary centers in a public healthcare system. Methods All OPSCC patients included were treated between 2010 and 2024 with

ANATOMICAL FACTORS IN DIFFICULT DIRECT LARYNGOSCOPY

British Journal of Anaesthesia, 1975
The anatomical factors in difficult direct laryngoscopy have been assessed. Thirteen patients in whom direct laryngoscopy proved difficult and thirteen control patients, all with teeth, had lateral, postero-anterior and submento-vertical radiographs taken. Several measurements were made and compared.

Long‐Term Outcomes of Patients Undergoing Cricothyrotomy at a Tertiary Care Level One Trauma Center

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This retrospective study of 48 patients undergoing emergent cricothyrotomy (2014–2025) evaluated short‐ and long‐term outcomes and complications. Common complications included dysphagia, pneumonia, and dysphonia, with delayed conversion to tracheostomy associated with increased pneumonia risk; long‐term issues included persistent dysphagia, subglottic ...

Neck circumference to inter-incisor gap ratio: a new predictor of difficult laryngoscopy in cervical spondylosis patients

BMC Anesthesiology, 2017
Background Preoperative airway assessment help anticipate a difficult airway. We hypothesized that a close association existed between difficult laryngoscopy and the neck circumference/inter-incisor gap ratio (RNIIG). Our aim was to determine its utility

Technical Skills Development for Medical Students in an Otolaryngology Mentorship Program

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that a longitudinal otolaryngology mentorship program integrating technical skills training can significantly improve both objective performance and self‐reported confidence among medical students. Through faculty mentorship and early exposure to suturing, flexible laryngoscopy, and tympanostomy tube insertion, students ...
