Article Abstract

This case report presents a 72-year-old man with longstanding recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP). He has undergone multiple procedures for the condition, including an apparent urgent surgical airway followed by tracheoplasty repair. Modern management of complicated RRP should include both local debulking and systemic approaches. Systemic bevacizumab (Avastin) has shown some initial success as an effective treatment option, in addition to other medications such as pembrolizumab. Other future care strategies may include an HPV vaccination and other adjuvants; vaccination has been reported to have the possibility of drastically reducing the incidence of RRP.

Objective: Full-thickness resection and skin grafting of the laryngotracheal junction, the "Maddern Procedure," can be used to treat patients with recalcitrant laryngotracheal stenosis. We report the long-term surgical outcomes of this procedure.

Methods: A consecutive series of 27 females with idiopathic, iatrogenic, or vasculitic subglottic stenosis who underwent the Maddern procedure between 2012 and 2023 were retrospectively reviewed.

Laryngotracheal granulomatous inflammation is a clinical entity that may complicate either localized or systemic disorders. It can result in life-threatening airway compromise, requiring urgent medical or surgical intervention. We report the case of a patient presenting with recurrent tracheal stenosis secondary to anti-neutrophil cytoplasm antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis, refractory to conventional treatments.

Endoscopic Vacuum-Assisted Closure for Radiation-Induced Laryngotracheoesophageal Fistula.

Radionecrosis can occur in any irradiated area of the head and neck, and when it involves the laryngotracheal region, it may lead to a laryngoesophageal fistula, causing dysphagia, aspiration, and life-threatening bleeding. A 45-year-old male with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) was referred due to prolonged dysphagia, recurrent aspiration, and hemoptysis after radiation therapy for a metastatic cervical spine lesion. Laryngoscopy and CT scan revealed destruction of the posterior cricoid cartilage and the membranous trachea, with a fistula formed between the laryngotrachea and pharynx.
