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 ...

Acid Suppression in Mild‐Moderate Laryngomalacia Without GERD: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Infants ≤ 6 months old with mild to moderate laryngomalacia at a tertiary children's hospital were randomized to famotidine and feeding modifications (AST) or feeding modifications alone (no‐AST). Patients randomized to AST (n = 20) and no‐AST (n = 20) had comparable improvement on Laryngomalacia Airway Symptom Score and Infant Gastroesophageal Reflux ...
