Bronchial Mucosal Abnormalities in Idiopathic Subglottic Stenosis
Idiopathic subglottic stenosis (iSGS) is a challenging variant of airway stenosis associated with consistent distal airway abnormalities on bronchoscopy, including pits, depressions, and striations. Despite these findings, most patients demonstrate normal or mild–moderate obstruction on spirometry.

Influence of Tracheostomy Level on Surgical Management of Pediatric Airway Stenosis
Tracheostomy location is a critical determinant of surgical complexity and outcomes in pediatric laryngotracheal stenosis. Misplacement may lead to longer tracheal resections, an increased need for stoma relocation, more complex reconstruction, and secondary stenosis. Strategic planning of tracheostomy position can improve surgical outcomes.

National Trends and Risk Factors for Dysphagia After Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion
From 2016 to 2023, inpatient anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) volume declined 52.2% while postoperative dysphagia rates increased 11.4% annually. Analysis of 496,425 cases demonstrated that dysphagia risk varied markedly by surgical indication, with cervical diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis, cervical spine fracture, and ...

Long‐Term Outcomes of Patients Undergoing Cricothyrotomy at a Tertiary Care Level One Trauma Center
This retrospective study of 48 patients undergoing emergent cricothyrotomy (2014–2025) evaluated short‐ and long‐term outcomes and complications. Common complications included dysphagia, pneumonia, and dysphonia, with delayed conversion to tracheostomy associated with increased pneumonia risk; long‐term issues included persistent dysphagia, subglottic ...

Finite Element Analysis of Upper Airway in Ansa Cervicalis Stimulation for Obstructive Sleep Apnea
We developed a subject‐specific FE model to investigate how ACS stabilizes the upper airway in OSA. Simulations demonstrate that caudal traction applied through the hyolaryngeal complex produces coordinated multilevel airway stabilization, with pronounced effects at the retropalatal and retro‐epiglottic regions under physiologic loading.

Neighborhood Deprivation and Voice and Reflux Symptom Burden in a Tertiary Laryngology Cohort
ABSTRACT Objective The voice handicap index‐10 (VHI‐10) and reflux symptoms index (RSI) are validated, patient‐reported outcome measures (PROMs) commonly used in laryngology to assess the subjective impact of voice disorders and severity of symptoms associated with laryngopharyngeal reflux, respectively.

Safety Profile of Nebulized Ciprofloxacin‐Dexamethasone After Pediatric Airway Surgery
ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the safety profile and patterns of use of nebulized ciprofloxacin–dexamethasone (CPD) in pediatric patients undergoing airway surgery. Methods A retrospective chart review was performed of patients who underwent airway surgery at a tertiary pediatric center between 2019 and 2023 and received nebulized CPD 0.3%–0.1 ...

Rare But Risky: Clinical Impacts of Pneumothorax After Thyroidectomy and Parathyroidectomy
Postoperative pneumothorax (PPTX) is rare after thyroidectomy or parathyroidectomy, occurring in up to 0.10% of cases. However, it is associated with increased risks of all‐cause mortality, adverse respiratory events, and healthcare utilization rates in up to 1 year after surgery, deeming PPTX as a potential marker of increased postoperative ...
