The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.A 31 year old male presented with a penetrating oropharyngeal injury following a motor vehicle collision and was found to have a retained metallic foreign body suspected to be part of a vape pen. The foreign body was abutting the carotid artery and was removed via a combined transoral and transcervical approach.

Finite Element Analysis of Upper Airway in Ansa Cervicalis Stimulation for Obstructive Sleep Apnea
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.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.

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.The PREDICTR‐OPC model is the only prognostic classifier for oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) that also predicts surgical outcomes. This study demonstrates that removing survivin from the model preserves its prognostic and predictive performance, with comparable discrimination, calibration, and clinical utility across training and ...

Management of Absent Upper Esophageal Sphincter Opening After Neurological Injury
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.This study evaluated the effects of swallowing therapy and cricopharyngeus (CP) muscle surgery on upper esophageal sphincter (UES) opening, oral intake, and airway protection in patients with absent UES opening following neurological injury. CP‐targeted surgeries were associated with improved bolus passage and oral intake, but persistent aspiration ...

Technical Skills Development for Medical Students in an Otolaryngology Mentorship Program
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.This study demonstrates that a longitudinal otolaryngology mentorship program integrating technical skills training can significantly improve both objective performance and self‐reported confidence among medical students. Through faculty mentorship and early exposure to suturing, flexible laryngoscopy, and tympanostomy tube insertion, students ...

Transoral Ultrasound in the Diagnostic Workup of Peritonsillar Abscess—A Randomized Clinical Trial
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.Peritonsillar abscess frequently mimics peritonsillar cellulitis, exposing many patients to unnecessary and often painful blind needle aspirations. In this multicenter randomized clinical trial of 95 patients, adding transoral ultrasound to standard examination reduced needle aspiration attempts by nearly one third.
