Inflammatory Markers Stratify Surgical Outcomes in Pediatric Airway Reconstruction
The Laryngoscope, Volume 136, Issue 4, Page 1920-1927, April 2026.ABSTRACT Objectives Red blood cell distribution width (RDW) predicts surgical success in adult patients undergoing open airway reconstruction for laryngotracheal stenosis, but similar biomarkers in pediatrics remain unidentified. This study identifies predictors of outcomes in pediatric patients undergoing triple endoscopy or surgical airway ...

A Novel Murine Model of Acute Laryngeal Injury After Intubation
The Laryngoscope, Volume 136, Issue 4, Page 1784-1791, April 2026.This study describes a novel murine model of acute laryngeal injury (ALgI) after intubation. Chemomechanical injury was performed to the posterior glottis of adult mice using a bleomycin‐dipped wire brush under endoscopic guidance, resulting in reduced glottic mobility, increased posterior glottic thickness, and increased collagen expression. This safe,

Immunosuppression and Surgery‐Free Interval in Granulomatosis With Polyangiitis Airway Stenosis
The Laryngoscope, Volume 136, Issue 4, Page 1858-1865, April 2026.Subglottic and tracheal stenosis are severe manifestations of granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) that often require both endoscopic intervention and systemic immunosuppression. Rituximab may help stabilize GPA‐related airway disease by prolonging the interval between endoscopic procedures and delaying relapse.

CT‐Based Comparison of Tracheostomy Placement Accuracy: Open Versus Percutaneous Approaches
The Laryngoscope, Volume 136, Issue 4, Page 1694-1701, April 2026.This study provides the first objective CT‐based comparison of tracheostomy placement accuracy between open surgical and percutaneous techniques in 503 patients. Both methods achieved comparable stoma positioning relative to the cricoid cartilage, while patient factors and surgeon expertise had a greater impact on placement accuracy than the surgical ...

Downstream Impact of a Sleep Surgery Program; Optimizing Patient Care and Generating Clinical Volume
The Laryngoscope, Volume 136, Issue 4, Page 1952-1958, April 2026.ABSTRACT Objectives In recent years, a growing number of Otolaryngologists have incorporated the management of sleep disorders into their practice. We aim to assess the downstream impact of a Sleep Surgery division within a department of Otolaryngology.
