Influence of Tracheostomy Level on Surgical Management of Pediatric Airway Stenosis. [PDF]
Tracheostomy location is a critical determinant of surgical complexity and outcomes in pediatric laryngotracheal stenosis. Misplacement may lead to longer tracheal resections, an increased need for stoma relocation, more complex reconstruction, and secondary stenosis. Strategic planning of tracheostomy position can improve surgical outcomes.

Surviving Separation: Laryngotracheal Injury in Blunt Neck Trauma-A Case Report and Review. [PDF]
Laryngotracheal trauma is a rare but fatal cause of injury in patients involved in polytrauma. Most patients succumb on site due to airway compromise. Thus, a delay in instituting interventions in such patients often leads to poor outcomes. In the handful that do make it to the hospital, there is a paucity of literature with regard to the optimal ...

T-Graft for Single Stage Laryngotracheal Reconstruction: Revisiting a Previously Described Technique. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Objective Use of costal cartilage grafts for longer segment anterior graft laryngotracheal reconstruction can pose a risk for the inferior aspect of the graft prolapsing into the airway lumen. This is particularly true when incorporating a tracheostoma into the reconstruction.

Trends in Laryngology Fellowship Training: A Survey Study of Graduates and Directors. [PDF]
A survey study of laryngology fellowship Graduates and Directors reveals overall high level of confidence in preparedness to practice in the care of most laryngologic disorders. Respondents reported less exposure to swallowing disorders in fellowship with resulting lower confidence to practice independently in this area, despite seeing a good ...

From Expectations to Experience: A Comparison of Program Director Priorities to Resident Case Logs. [PDF]
The present study identified 47 essential otolaryngology procedures via program director surveys and evaluated the extent of resident participation in these cases through ACGME case logs. Results revealed significant variability in surgical experience, with nearly half of these essential procedures being logged fewer than 10 times during residency ...
