ABSTRACT Background Endoscopy is essential in upper aerodigestive tract (UADT) examination, particularly in the early detection of laryngopharyngeal lesions. However, UADT endoscopy remains operator‐dependent and lacks standardized quality metrics. Recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) have generated interest in applications within UADT ...

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

Sonographic Anatomy and Imaging of the Extracranial Component of the Hypoglossal Nerve (CNXII)
The hypoglossal nerve (HN) provides motor innervation to tongue muscles responsible for tongue movement, speech, mastication, swallowing, respiratory functions and management of oral secretions. The intracranial component of the HN can be demonstrated on magnetic resonance imaging and the extracranial component can be demonstrated with sonographic ...

Ultrasonographic Prediction of Difficult Laryngoscopy in Obese Patients
Introduction: Anticipation of difficulties in airway management is of prime importance in avoiding potential catastrophies. Obese patients form part of a population that is believed to have difficult airway.

Thyromental Height - As a Predictor of Difficult Laryngoscopy
The fundamental responsibility of the anaesthesiologist and one of the most important steps in anaesthesia practice is the intubation and maintenance of the airway. The integral part of pre-anaesthetic evaluation to recognize a potentially difficult airway is the airway assessment.

Transoral Robotic‐Assisted Removal of a Submucosal Pyriform Sinus Foreign Body
Submucosal foreign bodies of the medial pyriform sinus represent a challenge given limited visualization and difficult retraction with endoscopic approaches, and risk of injury to the recurrent laryngeal nerve with open approaches. We present a novel case utilizing the Da Vinci SP system for removal of an embedded fishbone from the medial pyriform ...

The Application of Airtraq (fibreoptic intubation device) to Otolaryngology
The anaesthetic laryngoscope Airtraq is designed for the difficult airway. This disposable laryngoscope requires minimal cervical manipulation and unlike other common anaesthetic larynmgoscopes contains a channel for the guidance of an endotracheal tube.
