Risk of Complications After Injection Laryngoplasty and Medialization Thyroplasty on Anticoagulation.

Objectives: Systemic anticoagulation (AC) and antiplatelet (AP) medications are commonly prescribed for various conditions. We assess complication rates after injection laryngoplasty (IL) and medialization thyroplasty (MT) in patients taking AC/AP perioperatively.

Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted using the TriNetX United States Collaborative Network database.

Comparison of Complications of Injection Laryngoplasty via Direct Versus Flexible Laryngoscopy.

Objectives: Injection laryngoplasty (IL) is commonly performed for glottic insufficiency and has historically been performed under general anesthesia via direct laryngoscopy (DL), with an increasing number of procedures being performed in the office setting via flexible laryngoscopy (FL). Existing literature regarding complications of IL primarily addresses immediate peri-procedural complications and adverse reactions to the injection material. This is the first study utilizing a large multi-institutional database comparing complications of IL performed via DL versus FL.

Safety of Ambulatory Surgery For Obstructive Sleep Apnea: A Retrospective Review.

Objective: Assess the safety of ambulatory surgery performed for obstructive sleep apnea.

Study Design: Retrospective chart review.

Setting: Tertiary care hospital.

Differences in Functional and Survival Outcomes Between Patients Receiving Primary Surgery vs Chemoradiation Therapy for Treatment of T1-T2 Oropharyngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma.

Importance: Due to lack of data from high-powered randomized clinical trials, the differences in functional and survival outcomes for patients with oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) undergoing primary transoral robotic surgery (TORS) vs primary radiation therapy and/or chemoradiation therapy (RT/CRT) are unclear.

Objectives: To compare 5-year functional (dysphagia, tracheostomy dependence, and gastrostomy tube dependence) and survivorship outcomes in patients with T1-T2 OPSCC receiving primary TORS vs RT/CRT.

Design, Setting, And Population: This national multicenter cohort study used data from a global health network (TriNetX) to identify differences in functional and survival outcomes among patients with OPSCC who underwent primary TORS or RT/CRT in 2002 to 2022.

Diagnosing Midline Neck Masses: Comparing Clinical Exam, the SIST Score, and the 4S Algorithm.

Objective: To validate and compare novel ultrasound scoring systems for dermoid cysts and thyroglossal duct cysts among pediatric patients.

Study Design: Retrospective study.

Setting: Tertiary care children's hospital.
