Pharyngeal pouches are generally treated with surgery, via either an endoscopic or an external approach. Large pouches extending to the mediastinum carry an increased risk of post-operative mediastini...
Transcervical stapling is a newly described technique that uses the endoluminal stapling approach but in which the diverticuloscope is inserted into the pharynx via a neck incision....
This technique has been used successfully on three patients with large pharyngeal pouches, where endoscopic stapling was not possible due to access limitations....
Current guidance from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends empiric treatment for persons exposed to sexually transmitted infections, including Neisseria gonorrhoeae ( NG ). As ...
We conducted a descriptive analysis of pharyngeal NG infection in men who have sex with women (MSW) and women seeking care at a sexual health clinic in Seattle, WA, from February 2017 to July 2021 bec...
Among 352 NG contacts tested for urogenital or pharyngeal infection, 34% were positive for NG at ≥1 anatomic site (27% for MSW and 40% for women). Among 161 NG contacts tested at the pharynx, 30% (n =...
Pharyngeal NG is relatively common among MSW and women who have been exposed to NG, and likely represents an underdiagnosed reservoir of NG infection. If empiric treatment is abandoned in favor of tes...
(1) Compare proportions of collapse, obstruction, or mixed instances on drug-induced sleep endoscopy findings of obese and nonobese children with obstructive sleep disordered breathing. (2) Determine ...

Tertiary pediatric center....
Obese (body mass index >95 percentile) children presenting with obstructive sleep disordered breathing (>33 on the pediatric sleep questionnaire) were identified from a prospectively kept surgical dat...
Over a 5-year period, 73 consecutive children with obesity were identified (40 males; mean of 8.5 ± 3.0 years, 2.8-13.1). They were matched with 73 nonobese children (8.4 ± 3.0 years, 2.6-14.1). The o...
The predominance of hypopharyngeal collapse in children with obesity may explain the likelihood of failure of surgery directed at obstructive findings. This may also strengthen the case for drug-induc...
In December 2020, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention updated its treatment guidelines for gonococcal infection and, for the first time, recommended universal test-of-cure for all individua...
We analyzed the demographic characteristics, clinical characteristics, rate of return for the recommended test-of-cure, and percent positivity for Neisseria gonorrhoeae on repeat pharyngeal specimens ...
Of 101 individuals treated for pharyngeal gonorrhea between March 2021 and April 2022, 54.5% were men, 71.2% Black or African American, and 58.4% between the ages of 20 and 29 years. Most identified a...
Despite recommendations to perform a test-of-cure 7 to 14 days after treatment of pharyngeal gonorrhea, rates of return continue to be low. Alternative strategies should be investigated to increase te...
Pharyngocutaneous fistula (PCF), a major complication of total laryngectomy, is caused by pharyngeal repair failure....
Assess the usefulness of endoscopic observation of the pharyngeal suture's healing process for the early detection of PCF development....
Pharyngeal mucosal sutures were endoscopically observed postoperatively in patients who underwent total laryngectomy with primary closure....
Postoperatively, a white coat adhered to the pharyngeal mucosal suture of all patients. In most cases, the white coat gradually receded, which was considered to be a normal healing process. Thickening...
Postoperative poor healing conditions of the pharyngeal mucosal suture may be precursors to PCF development. Endoscopic observation enables early detection of these conditions and may enable the preve...
The most common early postoperative complication after total laryngectomy (TL) is pharyngocutaneous fistula (PCF). Rates of PCF are higher in patients who undergo salvage TL compared with primary TL. ...
A list of available reconstructive techniques for primary TL was built and the potential comparisons between techniques were identified. A PubMed literature search was performed from inception to Augu...
A meta-analysis of seven original studies showed a PCF risk difference (RD) of 14% (95% CI 8-20%) favoring stapler closure over manual suture. In a meta-analysis of 12 studies, we could not find stati...
We could not identify differences in the rate of PCF between continuous and T-shape suture configuration. Stapler closure seems to be followed by a lower rate of PCF than manual suture in those patien...
This study evaluated the effects of the effortful swallow (ES) on pharyngeal cavity volume using three-dimensional kinematic analyses. Nine healthy volunteers (30.7 ± 7.8 years old) underwent a CT sca...
Pharyngeal scarring stenosis is a rare yet very severe complication in Behçet's disease (BD). Previously, such patients had to undergo tracheostomy for life, which seriously affected the patient's spe...
The medical history, the surgical procedures of reconstruction and the clinical outcomes of BD cases with pharyngeal stenosis were analysed. British Medical Research Council questionnaire (MRC), Chine...
Six BD cases with pharyngeal stenosis underwent reconstructive operations. Submental island flaps and forearm free flaps were used in reconstructive procedures in three female and three male patients,...
Reconstructive surgery using flaps is an effective and safe approach to rebuild pharyngeal cavity in BD patients with severe pharyngeal stenosis, which can improve the quality of life of these patient...
Inflammatory and infectious upper respiratory diseases (ICD-10: J30-J39), such as diseases of the sinonasal tract, pharynx and larynx, are growing health problems yet their genomic similarity is not k...
Although the global burden of ear, nose and throat (ENT) diseases is high, data relating to ENT disease epidemiology and diagnostic error in resource-limited settings remain scarce. We conducted a ret...
