Single‐stage orthognathic correction of campylorrhinus lateralis in foals using transection and fixation: Surgical description and outcome of four horses

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Campylorrhinus lateralis (‘wry nose’) is a rare congenital maxillofacial deformity of foals resulting in compromise of the airway and severe class 4 malocclusion. Various surgical techniques to correct the deformity have been described, but contemporary data on single‐stage transection and fixation, including use of a rib graft, and

Management of Absent Upper Esophageal Sphincter Opening After Neurological Injury

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
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 ...
