Ultrasonic Image Characteristics of Palatine Tonsils in Healthy Children and Analysis of Factors Influencing Image Quality

Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, Volume 53, Issue 3, Page 436-444, March/April 2025.
The ultrasound detection rate of the palatine tonsils in children was good. There are characteristic ultrasonic image manifestations. Tonsil ultrasound image quality is affected by individual and local factors. ABSTRACT Objective To explore the ultrasonic image characteristics of palatine tonsils in healthy children and the factors affecting image ...

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 ...

Transoral Robotic Resection of Pediatric Tongue Base Mucoepidermoid Carcinoma

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Transoral robotic surgery (TORS) offers a precise, minimally invasive approach for the management of rare pediatric tongue base malignancies. Intraoperative visualization demonstrates accurate tumor delineation and controlled resection, while postoperative findings confirm effective oncologic clearance with preservation of surrounding structures.

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.

Impact of Co‐Morbid Immunocompromise in HPV‐Associated Oropharyngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Among patients with surgically resected Human Papillomavirus positive (HPV+) oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC), immunocompromised patients had significantly worse overall survival compared to the non‐compromised group; however, these exploratory findings should be interpreted cautiously.

Dysphagia in Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Scoping Review

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective There are four phases of swallowing: oral preparatory, oral transit, oropharyngeal, and esophageal. Disruption of any phase(s) can lead to dysphagia. Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) children have a high rate of dysphagia compared with neurotypical peers.

Drug‐Induced Sleep Endoscopy in Children Predicts OSA Severity

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background While adenotonsillectomy (AT) is first line for pediatric obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), treatment failure is common. Drug‐induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) provides dynamic airway assessment, but its role in predicting OSA severity requires clarification. This study correlates DISE findings with polysomnographic severity. Objective To

Therapeutic Efficacy of Endoscope‐Guided Coblation for Tongue Base Reduction as Part of Multilevel Surgery in Moderate to Severe OSA Patients

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) frequently results from multilevel upper airway obstruction involving the palate, lateral walls, and tongue base. Among various techniques, endoscope‐guided coblation for tongue base reduction (TBR) provides precise resection with excellent hemostasis and minimal morbidity.

Cost‐Effectiveness Analysis of Transoral Robotic Surgery Versus Radiotherapy Alone for Early‐Stage HPV‐Associated Oropharynx Squamous Cell Carcinoma in Australia

Journal of Medical Imaging and Radiation Oncology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Transoral robotic surgery (TORS) and radiotherapy are both recognised as effective treatment options for early‐stage HPV‐associated oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (HPV‐OPSCC). TORS offers the benefit of a shorter total treatment duration; however, a proportion of patients require adjuvant radiotherapy with or without ...
