Tracheostomy vs. Delayed Extubation in Head and Neck Reconstruction: A Meta‐Analysis
High volume centers are trialing delayed extubation as an alternative management approach to tracheostomy in patients undergoing head and neck reconstruction (HNR). This systematic review shows that patients in the delayed extubation group are four times less likely to suffer an airway complication (p = 0.295) and eight times less likely to suffer a ...

Endoscopic Transnasal Apicoectomy for Odontogenic Maxillary Sinusitis
Endoscopic transnasal apicoectomy (ETA) is a novel multidisciplinary technique that combines endoscopic sinus surgery with apicoectomy via a transnasal approach. ETA enables direct access to periapical lesions while preserving the causative tooth. Our initial experience suggests that this minimally invasive approach is safe, feasible, and effective for

National Trends and Risk Factors for Dysphagia After Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion
From 2016 to 2023, inpatient anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) volume declined 52.2% while postoperative dysphagia rates increased 11.4% annually. Analysis of 496,425 cases demonstrated that dysphagia risk varied markedly by surgical indication, with cervical diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis, cervical spine fracture, and ...

Laryngeal Dysfunction Following COVID‐19: A TriNetX Retrospective Cohort Study
COVID‐19 is associated with an increased incidence of new‐onset laryngeal dysfunction, including chronic cough, dysphagia, voice disorders, vocal fold paralysis, and laryngeal spasm, compared with uninfected controls. Risk peaks one to two years after infection for most outcomes and is influenced by factors such as hospitalization, mechanical ...

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

The effect of bilateral complete nasal obstruction on middle ear function
Background and aim Nasal obstruction has long been related to middle ear (ME) illnesses. Nasal obstruction changes the function of the Eustachian tube and may affect ME pressure. This study aimed to assess the ME function in cases with bilateral complete

Finite Element Analysis of Upper Airway in Ansa Cervicalis Stimulation for Obstructive Sleep Apnea
We developed a subject‐specific FE model to investigate how ACS stabilizes the upper airway in OSA. Simulations demonstrate that caudal traction applied through the hyolaryngeal complex produces coordinated multilevel airway stabilization, with pronounced effects at the retropalatal and retro‐epiglottic regions under physiologic loading.

Identifying High‐Risk Children Safe for Same‐Day Discharge After Tonsillectomy
ABSTRACT Objective Current guidelines recommend overnight admission for children with severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and obesity undergoing tonsillectomy, although most have uneventful postoperative courses. We aimed to identify low‐risk subgroups within this high‐risk population who may be candidates for same‐day discharge. Methods Retrospective
