Awake Blue Laser Excision and Balloon Dilation of Oropharyngeal Stenosis in High‐Risk Patients
Abstract Oropharyngeal stenosis is a rare condition that can develop following head and neck cancer treatment, leading to progressive dyspnea, dysphagia, and dysphonia. Patients with symptomatic dyspnea may benefit from endoscopic surgery. However, head and neck cancer survivors can have severe trismus, limited neck extension, and altered laryngeal ...

Role of controlled radial expansion balloon bronchoplasty in benign subglottic and tracheal stenosis
Background: Central airway obstruction can arise from both benign and malignant conditions, as well as from congenital or acquired causes. One common cause of acquired central airway obstruction is post-intubation subglottic and tracheal stenosis ...

Tracheotomy-coblation for acquired subglottic tracheal stenosis: a case report
Background Tracheal stenosis caused by tracheotomy and intubation is considered intractable. Although the segmental tracheal resection and endoscopic intervention are available, they usually result in great operation injury or are difficult to perform ...

ABSTRACT Sex chromosome aneuploidies represent a heterogeneous group of chromosomal conditions, in which phenotypic complexity generally increases with the number of supernumerary sex chromosomes. While Turner syndrome and sex chromosome trisomies are relatively well characterized, less is known about congenital malformations in sex chromosome ...

ABSTRACT Objectives Aspiration pneumonia is a potential adverse event of esophageal endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). Using an overtube during esophageal ESD may reduce the amount of fluid refluxing into the oral cavity and prevent aspiration pneumonia. This study aimed to clarify the preventive effects of overtubes on aspiration pneumonia during

Endothelial Hydrogels Improve Microvascular Regeneration and Perfusion in Tracheal Scaffolds
Insufficient vascularization remains a major barrier to successful tracheal transplantation. This study demonstrates that an endothelial hydrogel significantly enhances graft perfusion and neovessel organization compared to non‐endothelial hydrogel controls.

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.
