Unintentional Weight Loss Does Not Predict Poor Outcomes in Zenker Diverticulum
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.In this study of 427 patients with Zenker's diverticulum, 23.6% had significant unintentional preoperative weight loss. Weight loss was associated with preoperative dysphagia and with both the smallest and largest pouches. Postoperative outcomes were similar in patients with and without weight loss, demonstrating a similar efficacy and safety profile ...

Outcomes of Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve Reinnervation for Pediatric Unilateral Vocal Fold Paralysis
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.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 ...

Differentiating Persistent and Recurrent Dysphagia in Zenker Diverticulum: A POuCH Study
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.In longitudinal follow up of 160 patients who underwent surgery for Zenker's diverticulum, 29 patients did not respond (< 50% improvement in EAT‐10 and final EAT‐10 greater than 3). Two cohorts of patients emerged: the majority (23/29), who had persistent symptoms after surgery and never improved to a new baseline, and a smaller cohort (6/29) who had ...

Radiofrequency Ablation as a Safe and Effective Treatment for Thyroid Nodules After Lobectomy
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background A new symptomatic nodule may develop or a preexisting nodule may grow to warrant treatment in the remaining lobe of patients who previously had a unilateral thyroid lobectomy. Conventional management often results in completion thyroidectomy, but radiofrequency ablation (RFA) offers a minimally invasive alternative to surgical ...
