CT‐Based Comparison of Tracheostomy Placement Accuracy: Open Versus Percutaneous Approaches
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.This study provides the first objective CT‐based comparison of tracheostomy placement accuracy between open surgical and percutaneous techniques in 503 patients. Both methods achieved comparable stoma positioning relative to the cricoid cartilage, while patient factors and surgeon expertise had a greater impact on placement accuracy than the surgical ...

How I Do It: The Transtracheal Approach for Awake Cricopharyngeal Botulinum Toxin Injection
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.This transtracheal technique for cricopharyngeal botulinum toxin injection is a safe and effective option for chemodenervation of this muscle in the awake patient. Its advantages include reduced risk of toxin spread to intrinsic laryngeal muscles, the ability to administer higher doses of botulinum toxin, improved access to the entire length of the ...

Mastoid Surgery Does Not Normalize Tympanometric Middle Ear Pressure in Children With Cholesteatoma
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.Conflicting mechanism‐based hypotheses have been used to promote selection of different approaches to management of the mastoid in order to optimize middle ear pressure homeostasis after removal of cholesteatoma. For example: (a) conservation of mastoid mucosa and opening of ventilation pathways endoscopically to normalize function, (b) removal of ...

Acromegaly Presenting With Cricoarytenoid Joint Arthropathy
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.Excess growth hormone in acromegaly induces characteristic acral and soft tissue overgrowth (particularly in the face and hands), arthropathies, as well as cardiovascular and metabolic complications. Similar proliferative changes can occur in the larynx, where hypertrophy of the arytenoid and cricoid cartilages may impair vocal fold mobility.

From Expectations to Experience: A Comparison of Program Director Priorities to Resident Case Logs
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.The present study identified 47 essential otolaryngology procedures via program director surveys and evaluated the extent of resident participation in these cases through ACGME case logs. Results revealed significant variability in surgical experience, with nearly half of these essential procedures being logged fewer than 10 times during residency ...
