Summary
This study showcases reconstructive transoral laser microsurgery for pharyngolaryngeal stenosis, successfully enabling permanent decannulation in a tracheostomy-dependent patient. This innovative technique offers a solution for patients with head and neck cancer sequelae.
Area of Science:
- Otolaryngology
- Head and Neck Surgery
- Laser Microsurgery
Background:
- Tracheostomy dependence causes patient discomfort and increases healthcare costs.
- Pharyngolaryngeal stenosis is a common complication following head and neck cancer treatment.
- Previous decannulation attempts may fail due to complex anatomical issues.

3.9K
Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a diagnostic procedure that combines endoscopy and fluoroscopy to diagnose and treat conditions related to the bile ducts, pancreatic ducts, and gallbladder. This procedure is beneficial for identifying and addressing blockages, gallstones, strictures, and tumors within the biliary or pancreatic systems. ERCP is both diagnostic and therapeutic, offering the ability to visualize and treat identified problems in one session.

An Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) is a diagnostic procedure in which an endoscopist uses a flexible, lighted endoscope to visualize the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The procedure includes visualizing the oropharynx, esophagus, stomach, and the first part of the small intestine, the duodenum.
During an EGD, the endoscope can be used to:

Chronic pharyngitis refers to persistent inflammation of the pharyngial mucosa.
Etiology
It often arises from persistent viral or bacterial infections affecting sinuses and tonsils.
Additional contributing factors include inadequate dental hygiene, mouth breathing, recurring tonsillitis, allergic rhinitis, laryngopharyngeal reflux, and exposure to smoke, chemicals, and other environmental pollutants. Allergic reactions to pollen, mold, and pet dander, chronic cough, excessive voice usage,...
