An Account of Roman Surgical Treatments for Ozena: Historical Review
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.This historical study investigates ancient Roman surgical techniques for treating ozena as described by Celsus, with a focus on its historical and etymological context. Independent translation and archaeological evidence contextualize two ancient procedures: closed nasal cauterization using a heated probe and an open approach involving dissection and ...

Volume Outcome Relationships of Oropharyngeal Cancer Patients Undergoing Transoral Robotic Surgery
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.Volume outcome relationships of transoral robotic surgery (TORS) remain incompletely analyzed. In this national retrospective cohort study, we consistently found that patients receiving TORS at high‐volume centers in the United States experienced lower positive margin rates, reduced perioperative mortality, and increased overall survival than patients ...

Gold Laser Cricopharyngeal Myectomy for Cricopharyngeal Dysfunction
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.Endoscopic treatment for cricopharyngeal bar with or without diverticulum has become the preferred option in management. However, critics cite high recurrence rates. This study evaluated a modified endoscopic approach of cricopharyngeal myectomy, removing a block of tissue with a Gold laser, to treat 84 patients with CP bar, demonstrating significantly

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.This study evaluates how TORS, with or without adjuvant treatment, impacts swallowing and weight loss. Adjuvant treatment following TORS is associated with significantly greater long‐term weight loss but does not significantly alter swallowing outcomes. Longer duration of nasogastric tube dependence in the postoperative period is associated with higher

Prevalence of Esophageal Webs in Patients Undergoing Direct Laryngoscopy
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.PES webs may be more common than what is traditionally cited in the literature. The prevalence of PES webs in this retrospective cohort study was found to be 34%. Webs may be more likely in patients with a history of irradiation to the head and neck, and only one‐third of patients with a PES web in our cohort had dysphagia symptoms.

High-Quality Medical Image Generation from Free-hand Sketch [PDF]
arXivGenerating medical images from human-drawn free-hand sketches holds promise for various important medical imaging applications. Due to the extreme difficulty in collecting free-hand sketch data in the medical domain, most deep learning-based methods have been proposed to generate medical images from the synthesized sketches (e.g., edge maps or contours
