Voice after posterior cordotomy: we think voice is bad, patients think it’s better!
Bilateral vocal fold immobility (BVFI) is a condition that can affect voice with an impact on quality of life (QOL). Surgical trauma from damage to bilateral recurrent laryngeal nerves, such as from previous thyroid, parathyroid, or mediastinal surgery are common...
Outcomes of larger glottic cancer volumes treated with radiotherapy
T3 glottic cancer is characterised as vocal cord fixation and/or invasion into pre-epiglottic, post-cricoid, paraglottic spaces and/or within the inner cortex of thyroid cartilage. Traditionally, laryngectomy was considered the primary option to treat T3 laryngeal glottic cancers until other options...Health related quality of life measures as outcome parameters in middle ear diseases
Surely the only outcome needed for post-surgical ears is a better PTA? Marcus Neudert argues there should be more to it than that. To draw a comprehensive picture of the disease-associated restrictions in patients with chronic otitis media, audiometric outcome...Life Down Under: an overview of the Sydney Endoscopic Ear Fellowship
As we emerge from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the first half of 2020, trainee colleagues will be looking to their future once again. Options may include fellowships, and we are delighted to have Dr Andrew Ma share...Laryngotracheal stenosis and malacia care
Why laryngotracheal stenosis and malacia (LTSM) care matters now? In late 2019, reports began to emerge of severe respiratory infections caused by a novel coronavirus. In the months that followed, intensive care admissions in the UK rose more than tenfold....Aetiology, investigation and acute management of sudden sensorineural hearing loss
The cause of a single sided sensorineural hearing loss has a wide variety of aetiologies. This review, by Edwin Halliday, looks specifically at the differential diagnostic causes of a sudden sensorineural hearing loss, the relevant investigations and the management should...The Laryngeal Pacemaker – developing an innovative solution for bilateral vocal fold paralysis
Bilateral vocal fold paralysis is a difficult condition to manage, with surgical interventions previously limited to tracheostomy or arytenoidectomy. Re-innervation surgery has been developed and, in recent years, a Laryngeal Pacemaker is now in clinical trials. We speak to two...The Laryngeal Pacemaker – developing an innovative solution for bilateral vocal fold paralysis
