A 3 yo girl was referred to the ENT clinic after her PCP noticed an abnormal TM on the left. She has a history of a 2 ear infections prior to presentation. She is asymptomatic, with no pain and no drainage from her TM. Her audiogram was normal. Her physical eventually revealed the presence of […]
Laryngomalacia is the most common laryngeal anomaly affecting newborns. Patient’s with severe disease should be considered for supraglottoplasty. It classically presents in a newborn with high-pitched inspiratory stridor that worsens with exertion, supine-positioning, and feeding. It is characterized by anatomic and physiologic abnormalities including shortened aryepiglottic (AE) folds, small, tightly curled epiglottis, redundant soft tissue […]
Double Stage Laryngotracheal Reconstruction with Anterior and Posterior Rib Cartilage Graft.
The procedure shown in this video is an awake transcervical injection laryngoplasty via a thyrohyoid membrane approach. Editor Recruited By: Michael M. Johns III, MD DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.17797/elckgrc4zg
The procedure shown in this video is a pediatric ansa to recurrent laryngeal nerve reinnervation. It is performed with a concurrent laryngeal electromyography and injection laryngoplasty. Editor Recruited By: Sanjay Parikh, MD, FACS DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.17797/7jjbn56ca3
Contributor: Tyler McElwee Choanal atresia describes the congenital narrowing of the back of the nasal cavity that causes difficulty breathing in neonate. Choanal atresia is often associated with CHARGE, Treacher Collins and Tessier Syndrome.

Contributor: Tyler McElwee Congenital dacryocystocele describe the distended lacrimal sac in neonates with or without associated intranasal cyst. The prevalence is about 0.1% of infants with congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction and a slight prevalence in female infants. It refers to cystic distention of the lacrimal sac as a consequence of the nasolacrimal drainage system obstruction. […]

In this video, we demonstrate the set-up, port configuration, and key steps involved in performing a robotic-assisted retroperitoneoscopic partial nephrectomy. DOI#: https://doi.org/10.17797/di559dgayo
History of airway stenosis, s/p laryngotracheal reconstruction. Developed restenosis, and balloon dilated three times. In this video we describe our technique for airway stent insertion and its securing to the neck skin. Balloon dilation of the airway expanded the airway to its appropriate size. After sizing, an 8mm modified Mehta laryngeal stent with rings (Hood […]
