Background Transoral laser microsurgery (TLM) for early to intermediate laryngeal squamous cell cancer (SCC) can be technically challenging when adequate exposure of the posterior laryngeal compartment is required due to the presence of the orotracheal tube. The goal of our study was to analyze the efficacy of high frequency jet ventilation (HFJV) in achieving appropriate laryngeal exposure and...

Purpose: This paper evaluates the outcomes of parathyroidectomy for primary hyperparathyroidism with negative localization studies. Methods: All patients preoperative ultrasound and MIBI scan who underwent were retrospectively included. Three groups defined. Group 1 included MIBI. 2 positive 3 Results: In 1, 51% 86% had one adenoma atypical localizations respectively. Unique showed in 87% 93% 3...

Objective/Hypothesis Comparing detection and extension of malignant tumors by flexible laryngoscopy in the outpatient setting with under general anesthesia using both White Light Imaging (WLI) Narrow Band (NBI). Study Design Prospective study. Methods Two hundred thirty-three patients laryngeal pharyngeal lesions underwent rigid laryngoscopy, WLI NBI. Extension (n = 132) was compared between te...

OBJECTIVE To investigate whether Pearson classic near-total laryngectomy is a sensible surgical treatment modality for laryngeal carcinomas with subglottic extension. DESIGN Retrospective analysis of patients treated by near-total laryngectomy in a university hospital that is an academic tertiary health care center. PARTICIPANTS AND INTERVENTION Medical and computer records of 135 patients ...

Accessible online at: www.karger.com/journals/orl Cancer of the larynx constitutes 1–2% of all malignancies diagnosed annually worldwide and represents the most common head and neck malignancy in the United States, as recently reported by the National Cancer Data Base [1]. Survival in patients with laryngeal cancer is dependent on the stage and site of tumour and its phenotype. It is obviously ...

Increasing glucose transporter-1 (GLUT-1) activity is one of the most important ways to increase the cellular influx of glucose. We previously demonstrated that increased GLUT-1 expression was an independent predictor of survival in patients with laryngeal carcinoma. Thus, GLUT-1 may present a novel therapeutic target in laryngeal carcinoma. In this study, the expression of GLUT-1, P-glycoprote...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) occurs infrequently in the larynx. Consequently, no large samples describing its clinical behavior are available in the literature. Our objective was to use a nationally representative population-based resource to evaluate clinical behavior, patient demographics, and outcomes among patients diagnosed with laryngeal ACC (LACC). STUDY DESIGN ...
