Implementing the Palatal Plate for Robin Sequence Beyond the Originating Center: How I Do It
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.The treatment of upper airway obstruction in newborns with Robin sequence (RS) is challenging. We report our experience implementing the minimally invasive Tübingen palatal plate in a pediatric tertiary care center, detailing a step‐by‐step protocol and clinical outcomes from our first patient series.

The Association of Upper Airway Anatomy and Hypoglossal Nerve Stimulation Response in OSA
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.CT‐derived measurements of tongue and craniofacial anatomy were evaluated in adults undergoing hypoglossal nerve stimulation for obstructive sleep apnea. Relative tongue volume was not significantly associated with treatment response. Exploratory analyses suggest that other anatomic features such as hyoid positions or transverse maxillary dimensions ...

Modified Sleep Apnea Severity Index and Cardiovascular Risk in CPAP‐Intolerant OSA Patients
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.The modified sleep apnea severity index (mSASI) combines patient anatomy, weight, sleep study metrics, and symptoms into a composite OSA index ranging from 1 (least severe) to 3 (most severe). Our study found that mSASI correlated better with baseline cardiovascular risk measured by the 5‐year Framingham Risk Score compared to the AHI.

Evaluating Sleep Apnea: In‐Lab Versus at‐Home Recording Time and the Impact of Positional Disease
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.We evaluated the minimum recording time needed for in‐lab polysomnography (PSG1) and home sleep apnea test Type 3 portable monitoring (HSAT) to accurately reflect the full‐night apnea–hypopnea index (AHI) in patients with suspected obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).

Patient‐Reported Outcomes of Palatopharyngeal Surgery Without Tonsillectomy: A Meta‐Analysis
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.Palatopharyngeal surgery without tonsillectomy leads to clinically meaningful improvements in daytime sleepiness and snoring, but patient‐reported outcomes vary markedly by surgical technique. Suture‐based procedures, muscle relocation, cold‐steel approaches, and powered instruments show the largest and durable benefits, with no evidence of effect ...

Gastro-oesophageal reflux and "epileptic" attacks: casually associated or related? Efficiency of antireflux surgery. A case report [PDF]
, 2009 Although a possible link between gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD) and obstructive sleeping apnoea has already been reported in the literature, there has never been any suggestion of an association with epilepsy, and epileptic attacks have not so ...

Endoscopic Suture Ligation and Sclerotherapy for Pharyngolaryngeal Venous Malformation
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.This study evaluated suture ligation combined with sclerotherapy in 53 patients with pharyngolaryngeal venous malformations. A single procedure achieved complete resolution in 79.25% of cases, with no serious complications or need for prophylactic tracheostomy.

Risk Analysis Index Versus mFI‐5 for Predicting Outcomes After Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.This retrospective database study of 2129 adults undergoing uvulopalatopharyngoplasty compared the risk analysis index (RAI) with the modified 5‐item frailty index (mFI‐5) for predicting 30‐day postoperative outcomes and found that frailty was associated with worse morbidity, prolonged hospitalization, non‐home discharge, and mortality.

Laryngeal Dysfunction Following COVID‐19: A TriNetX Retrospective Cohort Study
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.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 ...
