The Impact of Etiology on Time to Vocal Fold Motion Recovery in Unilateral Vocal Fold Paralysis
The time course of vocal fold motion recovery in UVFP reflects the underlying etiologies. This study showed that there was no difference in the time to recovery between UVFP from cardiothoracic versus thyroid/parathyroid surgeries, challenging the long‐held assumption that recovery time is proportional to the distance between injury site and larynx ...

National Trends and Risk Factors for Dysphagia After Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion
From 2016 to 2023, inpatient anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) volume declined 52.2% while postoperative dysphagia rates increased 11.4% annually. Analysis of 496,425 cases demonstrated that dysphagia risk varied markedly by surgical indication, with cervical diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis, cervical spine fracture, and ...

Laryngeal Dysfunction Following COVID‐19: A TriNetX Retrospective Cohort Study
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 ...

Long‐Term Outcomes of Patients Undergoing Cricothyrotomy at a Tertiary Care Level One Trauma Center
This retrospective study of 48 patients undergoing emergent cricothyrotomy (2014–2025) evaluated short‐ and long‐term outcomes and complications. Common complications included dysphagia, pneumonia, and dysphonia, with delayed conversion to tracheostomy associated with increased pneumonia risk; long‐term issues included persistent dysphagia, subglottic ...

Ménière's Disease: A Tri‐Decade Scoping Review of Treatment Trends and Evidence Quality
This tri‐decade scoping review of Ménière's disease literature reveals a significant increase in high‐level evidence and a clinical pivot toward hearing‐preserving interventions, such as intratympanic steroids and cochlear implants. However, a significant quality paradox has emerged, where adherence to standardized AAO‐HNS reporting and diagnostic ...

Neighborhood Deprivation and Voice and Reflux Symptom Burden in a Tertiary Laryngology Cohort
ABSTRACT Objective The voice handicap index‐10 (VHI‐10) and reflux symptoms index (RSI) are validated, patient‐reported outcome measures (PROMs) commonly used in laryngology to assess the subjective impact of voice disorders and severity of symptoms associated with laryngopharyngeal reflux, respectively.

Management of Absent Upper Esophageal Sphincter Opening After Neurological Injury
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 ...

Rare But Risky: Clinical Impacts of Pneumothorax After Thyroidectomy and Parathyroidectomy
Postoperative pneumothorax (PPTX) is rare after thyroidectomy or parathyroidectomy, occurring in up to 0.10% of cases. However, it is associated with increased risks of all‐cause mortality, adverse respiratory events, and healthcare utilization rates in up to 1 year after surgery, deeming PPTX as a potential marker of increased postoperative ...
