Clinical outcomes following CochlearTM BIA300 bone anchored hearing aid implantation in children
Bone anchored hearing implants (BAHI) have been in use for over 30 years, and are commonly implanted in children for a range of indications. The CochlearTM BIA300 system was launched in 2010 and used at The Birmingham Children's Hospital from 2011. Here we report the long-term outcomes of children implanted with the CochlearTM BIA300 BAHI system in our centre. (Source: International Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology)

Posterior cricoid-graft mismatch in laryngotracheal reconstruction
In laryngotracheal reconstruction (LTR) with sutureless posterior cricoid grafting (PCG), the inset graft's thickness may not precisely approximate the anterior-posterior depth of the divided posterior cricoid plate. This case series highlights this phenomenon and describes the clinical profiles and airway characteristics of children with similar subglottic stenosis grades undergoing LTR with PCG with varying degrees of graft-cricoid mismatch.

Reducing the Exposure of the Tonsillar Fossa does not Impact Postoperative Pain Levels in Children Undergoing Tonsillectomy: A Double-blind Randomized Controlled Trial
It is not established whether reducing the exposure of the tonsillar fossa would be an effective strategy for postoperative pain relief among the pediatric population submitted to tonsillectomy. We assessed the impact of closing this region using absorbable sutures on pain, on the resumption of normal diet and on the healing process until seven days after surgery.

Evaluating the impact of translated written discharge instructions for patients with limited English language proficiency
Patients with limited English language proficiency have indicated that they believe providing post-operative written instructions in their native language will improve comprehension, but the effect of this has not been previously studied. We hypothesize that providing written discharge instructions in Spanish for native Spanish speakers will improve comprehension regarding post-operative care after routine otolaryngologic procedures when compared to written instructions in English.

Vertigo in children; a narrative review of the various causes and their management
Vertigo is a not an uncommon symptom in children, but often the treating doctors are unsure of the diagnosis and the management of these cases. This narrative review of the literature discusses the brief etiopathology, the clinical manifestations and the management algorithm of most of the conditions causing vertigo in children. The relevant information has been condensed into a table for the perusal of the readers, which would assist in the appropriate management of these children.

A Novel Use of Coblation in the Treatment of Subglottic Stenosis
We describe a novel use of coblation technology, in which a coblation needle was used to submucosally ablate subglottic stenosis in a 9 month-old girl with grade II subglottic stenosis who had previously undergone multiple balloon dilations. This technique spared the overlying mucosa, similar to that utilized in coblation turbinoplasty. (Source: International Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology)

Internationally adopted children with cleft lip and/or cleft palate: Middle ear findings and hearing during childhood
Adopted children with cleft lip and/or palate form a diverse group of patients. Due to increased age at palatal repair, adopted children have a higher risk of velopharyngeal insuffiency and poor speech outcome. Delayed palate repair may also lead to longer lasting Eustachian tube dysfunction. Decreased function of the Eustachian tube causes otitis media with effusion and recurrent acute otitis media, which can lead to other middle ear problems and hearing loss.
