Surgical and Voice Outcomes of Office-Based Vocal Fold Dysplasia and Leukoplakia Surgery: A Systematic Review.

Objective: To investigate the surgical and voice quality outcomes of office-based laryngeal surgery for patients with laryngeal dysplasia and leukoplakia.

Data Sources: PubMed, Google scholar, and Cochrane databases.

Review Methods: Three independent investigator search databases for studies reporting surgical or voice quality outcomes of patients treated with office-based surgery for vocal fold dysplasia or leukoplakia.

French Translation and Validation of an Objective Swallowing Rating Scale: The PAS.

Introduction: Oropharyngeal dysphagia is a severe swallowing disorder with consequences that can be life-threatening or impair quality of life. One of the major risks is laryngeal penetration, which can lead to the bolus being aspirated. It is best assessed and quantified using The Penetration Aspiration Scale (PAS), which is a validated tool in English.

Impact of the Microbiome on Onset and Prognosis of Oropharyngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma.

Introduction: Recent attention to the role of the microbiome in oral cancer has prompted investigations into its potential contribution to oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC), given their anatomical and immunological overlap. However, consistent microbial patterns have not been identified across studies.

Methods: A systematic review, following PRISMA guidelines, examined studies on the role of the oral/oropharyngeal microbiome in OPSCC development, including its statistical relevance in cancer occurrence and prognosis.

Functional and oncological outcomes of transoral laser versus robotic surgery in supraglottic squamous cell carcinoma.

Objective: To compare the surgical, functional and oncological outcomes of Transoral Laser Microsurgery (TLM) and Transoral Robotic Surgery (TORS) for the treatment of supraglottic squamous cell carcinoma.

Study Design: Retrospective case series with prospective data.

Settings: Tertiary Academic Medical Center.

One hundred fifty years of total laryngectomies.

The inaugural total laryngectomy in history was conducted by Billroth in 1873. Nevertheless, significant enhancements to the technique were achieved through the contributions of Gluck, Sorensen, and various other surgeons. Throughout the twentieth century, advancements in anesthesia, infectious disease, hospital hygiene, antibiotic therapy, resuscitation, and the expertise of numerous laryngologists elevated total laryngectomy to a pivotal surgical intervention in head and neck surgery.

Laryngeal microsurgery under Transnasal Humidified Rapid Insufflation Ventilatory Exchange.

Objective: Since 2015, Transnasal Humidified Rapid Insufflation Ventilatory Exchange (THRIVE) has been used in general anesthesia for preoxygenation or difficult exposure airway management. Its use offers new opportunities in laryngology. THRIVE increases apnea time and frees the access to the upper airway.

Immunosuppressive protocols after laryngeal transplantation: a systematic review.

Backgrounds: Larynx transplantation has been successfully performed four times, in 1998, 2010, 2015 and 2023 remained the ultimate goal of voice, feeding and breathing rehabilitation.

Objective: Immunosuppressive protocols used during the previous successful larynx allotransplantation are detailed.

Material And Methods: A systematic review of the literature on PUBMED/Medline, Cochrane and Embase was conducted.

Feasibility and safety of THRIVE in transoral laser microsurgery.

Objective: Transnasal Humidified Rapid Insufflation Ventilatory Exchange (THRIVE) presents obvious advantage in laryngeal surgery and Transoral Laser Microsurgery (TLM). Airway fire represents a rare complication of TLM and may be the most important limitation in the use of THRIVE. The objective was to evaluate the different operating conditions of the TLM with THRIVE with regard to fire risk.
