Introduction
The larynx is a highly complex organ involved with breathing, phonation and swallowing. Its unique architecture and intricate mechanics involve numerous cartilages, tendons, muscles, nerves, mucosal folds and joints, packed together in a tight compartment.

Laryngeal imaging
The purpose of this article is to describe key anatomic feature of the larynx and to review contemporary imaging protocols for the evaluation of nonmalignant lesions and pathologies of the larynx. The role of computed tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Positron Emission Tomography (PET) CT in the evaluation of laryngeal pathologies will be addressed. Imaging feature in CT and MRI is discussed in particular conditions, such as cysts and laryngoceles, non-squamous laryngeal lesions including laryngeal vascular lesions and vocal cord paralysis.

Instrumentation in endoscopic laryngeal surgery
The development of transoral endoscopic approaches to the larynx have revolutionized the way we evaluate and treat various laryngeal pathologies. Nowadays, there is a large spectrum of laryngoscopes to address the various age groups, clinical needs, laryngeal pathologies, and subsites. The current paper is a review of some of the various laryngeal instruments used today in the evaluation and treatment of laryngeal pathologies, The review will cover some of the different means for evaluation of the larynx, various sizes and shapes of laryngoscopes, unique subsites in the larynx for which special laryngoscopes have been deve...

Airway management in laryngeal surgery
Airway management and anesthesia for laryngeal surgery poses many challenges. A preoperative endoscopic airway examination and discussion with the otolaryngologist helps in planning the anesthetic management. Although, securing the airway using specialized endotracheal tubes is possible in the majority of cases, the surgeon may occasionally request a ‘tubeless’ field. This can be achieved by ventilating the lungs using jet ventilation or high flow nasal oxygen (HFNO) while providing total intravenous anesthesia.

Open surgical approach to laryngoceles and saccular cysts
Saccular disorders extending beyond the thyrohyoid membrane are classified as external, or combined, based on to their extension beyond the thyrohyoid membrane and the proportion of the external to the internal component. The workup is the same as for internal saccular disorders and airway safety is of utmost importance. The open/transcervical approach is currently the treatment of choice for cases with relatively large external component. Endoscopic approach was also reported for combined lesions with a relatively smaller external component. (Source: Operative Techniques in Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery)
