Outcomes of Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve Reinnervation for Pediatric Unilateral Vocal Fold Paralysis
The objective of this study was to describe voice outcomes from the largest single‐center, single‐surgeon experience with recurrent laryngeal nerve reinnervation for pediatric unilateral vocal fold paralysis. In 102 patients who underwent reinnervation, we demonstrate that reinnervation is an effective and durable intervention for treatment of ...

Effects of Intubation Duration on Trachea: A Histopathological Study
This study evaluated the histopathological effects of prolonged endotracheal intubation on the human trachea using biopsy specimens obtained during tracheotomy. Prolonged intubation was associated with progressive inflammatory and structural changes, with tracheal dilatation and perichondritis increasing significantly after 14 days.

Pitch Strength & Percent Vocal Creak to Assess Treatment Response in Adductor Laryngeal Dystonia
Pitch Strength (PS) and Percent Vocal Creak (%VC) were measured before and after botulinum neurotoxin treatment in patients with adductor laryngeal dystonia (AdLD). While PS and %VC correlated with changes in disruption frequency and perceptual severity, they did not demonstrate robust group‐level treatment sensitivity.

Intraoperative Bradycardia: Evaluating Vasovagal Events in Adult Suspension Microlaryngeal Surgery
This retrospective single‐surgeon cohort study of 190 adults undergoing suspension microlaryngoscopy found that 8.9% (17/190) developed significant intraoperative bradycardia consistent with a vasovagal response (VVR). No demographic, comorbidity, or procedural factors were significantly associated with VVR, though most affected patients required ...

Impact of Age and Nerve Impairment Interaction on Bell's Palsy Prognosis
This study investigated the prognostic impact of the interaction between aging and nerve impairment severity in 181 patients with Bell's palsy. Although age alone was not an independent predictor, the interaction between older age (≥ 65 years) and a Nerve Excitability Test threshold difference (≥ 3.5 mA) significantly increased the risk of incomplete ...
