Objective The objective of this study was to examine readmissions following microlaryngeal surgery. It hypothesized that airway surgical procedures would have higher rates readmission. Design Retrospective review. Methods Outpatient surgeries from May 1, 2018 November 27, 2022 were reviewed. Readmissions related the original surgery within a 30-day postoperative period examined. Patient demogra...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Indications for antiplatelet and anticoagulation use are expanding. There is no evidence to direct therapeutic management in patients undergoing microlaryngeal surgeries. Our aim was to compare bleeding complications between microlaryngeal surgeries performed for patients preoperatively taken off and maintained on antiplatelet and/or anticoagulation therapy. STUDY DESIGN...

 Abstract Background: Transtracheal jet ventilation is an alternative ventilatory approach in airway surgery. The purpose of this study was to compare respiratory efficacy of percutaneous transtracheal with endotracheal, low frequency jet ventilation during microlaryngeal surgery. Methods: Ninety ASA class I-II patients aged between 16 and 70 years undergoing elective microlaryngeal surgery wer...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Microlaryngeal surgery (MLS) presents ergonomic challenges to surgeons and potential risks for developing musculoskeletal symptoms (MSSx). This study describes prevalence and risk factors of MLS-associated MSSx. STUDY DESIGN Cross-sectional survey. METHODS A questionnaire was administered to members of the American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery. Outco...

The effectiveness and safety of the Carden tube-oxygen injector system for ventilation was studied in 18 high-risk patients with obstructive airways disease during microlaryngeal surgery. Blood gas studies during operation demonstrated a mean Pao2 of 65.6 kPa (493 torr) and a mean PaCO2 of 4.5 kPa (34 torr) during mechanical ventilation. No serious complications were noted during operation. Fif...
