ABSTRACT Esophageal varices (EV) need monitoring in patients with portal hypertension. In 2022, a single‐use ultra‐slim (3.5 mm) gastroscope was approved for use in children and adults. This study evaluated if an ultra‐slim gastroscope could evaluate, grade, and corroborate the presence of EV in sedated pediatric patients as compared to standard oral ...

Lateral Mucosal Flap With Steroid‐Eluting Implant in Revision Draf Type III Frontal Sinus Surgery
This technical note introduces a novel endoscopic strategy that integrates a laterally based endonasal mucosal flap with a bioabsorbable steroid‐eluting implant to prevent restenosis following revision of Draf type III frontal sinus surgery. The vascularized flap is stabilized and maintained in close apposition to the underlying bone by a self ...

Unique Features of Nasal Airway and Airflow Improvement Post‐Dupilumab: A Computational Cohort Study
The impact of dupilumab on nasal airway patency and airflow is not uniform. It is more pronounced in the middle and superior, but not inferior meatus. These unique regional changes significantly correlate with and potentially drive the improvement in patient symptoms.

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
