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.

Vocal Outcomes After Cell‐Based Outer Vocal Fold Implant in Porcine Bilateral Vocal Fold Resection
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.Cell‐based outer vocal fold replacement (COVR) was evaluated in a porcine model of bilateral vocal fold injury using longitudinal acoustic analysis and histologic assessment. COVR implantation resulted in recovery of the nonperiodic acoustic parameter Q50 to preoperative levels by 6 months, with implanted human adipose‐derived stem cells detected in 7 ...

Design and Development of Novel Airway Device for Transoral Respiratory Monitoring During Sedation
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.This article describes iterative design factors and results of clinical testing for a novel medical device that promotes transoral respiratory gas exchange for patients during sedation. A minimally viable prototype was 3D printed from thermoplastic polyurethane and demonstrated high levels of oral retention, gas exchange, and satisfaction among ...

Increased Pediatric Head and Neck Abscesses Following the COVID‐19 Pandemic
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.This study evaluated the impact of the COVID‐19 pandemic on pediatric head and neck abscesses at two tertiary care centers. Overall head and neck abscess incidence increased more than threefold in the post‐pandemic period compared with the pre‐pandemic period, with increases observed across all major abscess subtypes.
