The Need for Postoperative Chest X‐Ray After Placement of Hypoglossal Nerve Stimulator
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective Hypoglossal nerve stimulation (HGNS) is a surgical treatment for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in patients intolerant to CPAP. Current practice often involves chest x‐ray (CXR) in the postanesthesia care unit (PACU), though the incidence of pulmonary complications is low.

Clinical Transplantation, Volume 36, Issue 11, November 2022., 2022 Abstract Introduction Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is prevalent in those with end‐stage kidney disease (ESKD) and poses a barrier to kidney transplant due to its association with poor outcomes. Studies examining these adverse outcomes are limited and often utilize echocardiographic measurements of pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP) instead of the

Impact of Nasal Pathology on Efficacy of Hypoglossal Nerve Stimulation for Obstructive Sleep Apnea
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.Hypoglossal nerve stimulation (HNS) is a surgical treatment for patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) who cannot tolerate continuous positive airway pressure. Comorbid nasal pathology, such as septal deviations, turbinate hypertrophy, polyps, vestibular stenosis, and masses, is frequently seen and has been shown to decrease quality of life in ...

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.In this study, we present the results of a single‐center, 10‐year retrospective cohort study involving 1810 pediatric tonsil surgeries. The aim was to evaluate the safety and outcome of cold steel tonsillotomy with adenoidectomy. The analysis includes postoperative bleeding rates, rates of revision surgery, and caregiver‐reported symptom relief ...

Backscattered Ultrasonographic Imaging of the Tongue and Outcome in Hypoglossal Nerve Stimulation
Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.Abstract Objective Hypoglossal nerve stimulation (HNS) is an increasingly used therapy. However, not all patients undergoing HNS implantation benefit from the treatment, making an improved patient selection a priority. This study investigates whether backscattered ultrasonographic imaging (BUI) can predict the response to HNS therapy.
