Transoral Robotic Lingual Tonsillectomy for Pediatric Obstructive Sleep Apnea
ABSTRACT Objectives Our objective was to investigate the safety and efficacy of transoral robotic surgery (TORS) lingual tonsillectomy (LT) with and without epiglottopexy and to compare it with non‐robotic approaches for children with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).

GERD and Upper Aerodigestive Tract Cancer Risk: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis
ABSTRACT Objective Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is highly prevalent, yet its association with upper aerodigestive tract (UADT) cancers beyond esophageal adenocarcinoma remains incompletely defined. This systematic review and meta‐analysis aimed to quantify the risk of specific UADT cancers in individuals with GERD.

Lipofuscin: The Missing Link in the Worsening of Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Lipofuscin, also known as the age pigment, is a permanent autofluorescent intracellular deposit that accumulates with aging or oxidative stress, thereby interfering with cellular function. This study revealed significantly larger deposits of lipofuscin in the lateral pharyngeal wall muscles of patients with severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) compared

Home Sleep Endoscopy: Evaluating the Feasiblity of a Remote Diagnostic Tool
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) affects nearly one billion people worldwide. Natural sleep endoscopy (NSE) is the ideal standard for evaluating airway collapse under physiological sleep but has been unfeasible due to practical limitations. This study evaluates the feasibility of home‐based sleep endoscopy during natural sleep using a novel endoscope ...
