Prevalence of Esophageal Webs in Patients Undergoing Direct Laryngoscopy
PES webs may be more common than what is traditionally cited in the literature. The prevalence of PES webs in this retrospective cohort study was found to be 34%. Webs may be more likely in patients with a history of irradiation to the head and neck, and only one‐third of patients with a PES web in our cohort had dysphagia symptoms.

Penetrating Laryngeal Trauma: Management of Severe Injuries Without Open Reduction Internal Fixation
Thyroid and cricoid cartilage fractures that are displaced or have multiple fracture lines are traditionally managed with open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF). In practice, patients with penetrating laryngeal trauma may have small fragments of cartilage that are difficult to reduce and fixate.

Endoscopic Management of a Hypopharyngeal‐Subglottic Fistula: Case Series and Literature Review
A rare complication of prolonged intubation or laryngeal radiation is destruction of the posterior cricoid cartilage with resultant hypopharyngeal‐subglottic fistula leading to aspiration and inability to consume a regular diet. We describe a step‐by‐step endoscopic approach to the closure of a hypopharyngeal‐subglottic fistula.
