Laryngeal keel insertion, mucosal suture, application of mitomycin-C (MMC), and staged operations are approaches to prevent the anterior glottic web, but there are limitations. Our study suggests a modified approach to prevent the formation of an anterior glottic web. This retrospective single-institution tertiary center study (N = 23) involved the simultaneous removal of bilateral vocal fold lesions with topical MMC application. If exudate was identified after 4 to 6 weeks, second laryngomicroscopic surgery (LMS) was performed to remove it with topical MMC application. Extent of anterior glottic web was measured as a percentage of the total length of the membranous vocal fold. After the initial surgery, 18 patients recovered without anterior web or fibrin exudate. Thick exudate was observed in 5 patients. After the second LMS, all patients showed improvement and did not develop anterior web. This modified method has been developed to prevent the anterior glottic web without complications.

Purpose: To compare the oncological and functional outcomes of transorallaser microsurgery (TLM) and vertical partial laryngectomy (VPL) in earlystageglottic carcinoma (T1-T2).
Methods: A systematic review following PRISMA guidelines analyzedcomparative studies from 2000 to 2024 in PubMed, EMBASE, and Web ofScience. Outcomes included local control, recurrence rates, larynxpreservation, survival, voice quality, and complications.

Accurate CT staging plays a crucial role in guiding effective management of laryngeal carcinoma, as endoscopic assessment alone may not provide a comprehensive evaluation of tumor spread. Consequences of non-compliance to parallel vocal cord plane for tumors remained unexplored in existing literature. We aimed to compare T-staging parameters of laryngeal carcinoma on CT neck in non-parallel and parallel to vocal cord axial planes and analyse degree of discrepancy between them.

Background: Transoral laser microsurgery is a well-established treatment for early glottic cancer. However, managing patients with close/positive margins remains debated. This study analyzes the relationship between resection margins and oncologic outcomes.

Objective: Paediatric airway management poses unique challenges due to anatomical and physiological differences compared to adults. Videolaryngoscopy (VL) has been proposed as a potential improvement over direct laryngoscopy (DL) for tracheal intubation. This study aimed to compare VL and DL in paediatric patients undergoing elective surgery.

The present study was the first attempt to describe age-related morphological lingual characterizations of Egyptian Fayoumi chickens at three post-hatching stages (1-day-old, 2-month-old, and 6-month-old) using SEM, histological, and histochemical techniques. There were characteristic features for each age. The papillary crest shape changed as the chickens aged: an arc-shaped crest in 1-day-olds, a "V" shape in 2-month-olds, and a serpentine pattern in 6-month-old chickens.
