Background Tracheal stent is a good way to maintain a patent airway in case of stenosis. Although anesthesia techniques for the placement of a stent in the trachea of patients with tracheal stenosis have been reported, the management of general anesthesia in patients with a tracheal stent is not well established. Case presentation We report the anesthetic management in the patient with a part...

OBJECTIVE To describe our experience with superimposed high-frequency jet ventilation (SHFJV), which does not require any endotracheal tubes or catheters, for performing laryngeal and tracheal surgery. DESIGN A case series of 500 patients. SETTING A university medical center. PATIENTS Four hundred sixty adult patients and 40 children in a consecutive sample who required laryngeal or trach...

OBJECTIVE The therapeutic effect of middle frontal horizontal partial laryngectomy (MFHPL) in treating stage T1b squamous cell carcinoma of the glottic larynx involving anterior vocal commissure (AVC) was compared with that of the anterior frontolateral vertical partial laryngectomy (AFVPL). The feasibility and practical significance of MFHPL in clinical application was discussed in the present...

<p>Hemangiomas of the airway are benign vascular lesions that can involve any site from nares to tracheobronchial tree. It is most common head and neck tumors in infants. Most these seen subglottic area The presence supraglottic hemangioma rarely described. This may be due less likely chance symptoms tendency infantile hemangiomas involute without therapy over time. Also, occurrence as a ...

The patient, a girl, 24 years old, was born in Jamaica, the birth weight being 74 lb. Pregnancy was normal, with the delivery at full term. There was no dyspnoea or cyanosis at birth. Stridor and attacks of 'cyanosis' started soon after birth, especially with feeds, culminating with a very severe attack at II months. A direct laryngoscopy was performed, and the larynx was 'probed'. The conditio...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS To retrospectively analyze our experience of transoral laser microsurgery (TLM) for treating postoperative laryngeal obstruction (POLO) after supracricoid and supratracheal laryngectomy (open partial horizontal laryngectomy [OPHL]) types 2 and 3, and to investigate potential relationships between patients' clinical features and their functional outcomes. STUDY DESIGN A r...

OBJECTIVE To assess the capacity of high and low doses of the antimitotic drug mitomycin to prevent laryngeal stenosis in an animal model. METHODS A prospective, randomized, double-blind, controlled study was carried out. End-to-end anastomosis was performed in 18 rabbits after tracheal annulus resection to produce inflammation. There were 3 treatment groups: topical saline (isotonic sodium c...

UNLABELLED Vocal fold immobility may be due to bilateral neurogenic paralysis, cricoarytenoid joint fixation, laryngeal synechiae, or posterior glottic stenosis. Treatment aims to establish a patent airway and preserve the function of the glottic sphincter and voice quality. OBJECTIVES To analyze the diagnostic and therapeutic approaches in cases of bilateral vocal fold immobility seen at our...
