Lateral neck dissection: 3D Anatomy
Neck dissection is a commonly performed procedure in the treatment of most head and neck cancers, and principles of neck dissection surgery are used in the surgical treatment of a variety of benign processes as well. Developing a working knowledge of neck anatomy is critical for otolaryngologists in training to navigate through the neck competently and efficiently, whether during neck dissection or other transcervical surgical approaches. With the use of 3-dimensional stereoscopic imaging techniques, neck dissection is herein reviewed with an emphasis on understanding the anatomic relationships of the critical structures w...

Parotidectomy and Parapharyngeal Space Dissection: 3D Anatomy
Parotidectomy and surgical access to the parapharyngeal space are common procedures for the head and neck surgeon, and an understanding of the complex anatomic relationships in this region is critical for safe navigation and management of both benign and malignant processes here. With the use of 3-dimension stereoscopic imaging techniques, parotidectomy and parapharyngeal space dissection are herein reviewed with an emphasis on important anatomic structures and their relationships.

Total Laryngectomy: 3D Anatomy
Despite the advent of non-surgical treatment options for laryngeal cancer, as well as partial laryngeal surgery for larynx cancer, total laryngectomy remains an important tool in the treatment of larynx cancer and non-functional larynx. With the use of 3-dimensional stereoscopic imaging techniques, total laryngectomy is herein reviewed with an emphasis on understanding the anatomic relationships encountered and considered during this procedure.

INTRODUCTION: Creating a 3D Cadaveric and Digital Atlas
The study of human anatomy dates far back as the 1600s BC, when meticulous examination of bodies of the deceased and recording of the structures on papyrus (the most famous of which being the Edwin Smith Surgical papyrus, an ancient Egyptian surgical treatise detailing traumatic injuries). These early diagrams transformed over the centuries, going from rudimentary sketches to detailed illustrations and descriptions aided by dissection of cadaveric models, though for much of human history were comprised of illustrated diagrams.

Open Tracheotomy: 3D Anatomy
Tracheotomy is a very common surgical procedure in which an incision is made in the anterior tracheal wall and skin to create an airway. The indications for this procedure include prolonged endotracheal intubation, upper airway obstruction from any cause, improved pulmonary toilet, and in the setting of certain otolaryngologic procedures to facilitate access to the oral cavity, pharynx, and larynx, and may in some cases be required urgently or emergently. The background and basic technique is described herein, with a focus on anatomic features encountered with the assistance of 3-dimensional stereoscopic imaging. (Source: ...

The oral tongue and floor of mouth in three dimensions (3D): a digital anatomical model derived from radiology, peer-reviewed literature, and medical illustration
: Combining published literature, radiographic imaging, and medical illustration, this study aimed to develop an anatomically accurate 3-dimensional (3D) digital model of the human tongue, and to make this model publicly available for education and training purposes.

Detailed 3-dimensional surgical anatomy of the soft palate: a confluence of anatomy, radiology, and medical illustration
The objective of this study was to develop an anatomically accurate three-dimensional (3D) digital model of the soft palate, derived from patient imaging data and peer-reviewed gross and microscopic anatomical studies, and to provide this model publically for educational purposes.

Introduction
The larynx is a complex organ in a compact compartment. It functions to sustain us through breathing, swallowing and fosters our ability to communicate with those around us. Advances in instrumentation, laser technology as well as pediatric anesthesia have all facilitated advances in pediatric endoscopic airway surgery.

Endoscopic Anterior Cricoid Split with Dilation
Endoscopic anterior cricoid split may be performed as an adjunct to balloon dilation in select patients with subglottic stenosis. It offers the possibility for the treatment of more significant, mature subglottic stenosis, as well as congenital subglottic stenosis with cartilaginous anomaly endoscopically whereas previously these patients could only successfully be treated with an open procedure. Here the indications, preoperative workup, operative technique and post-operative considerations are outlined. (Source: Operative Techniques in Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery)

Endoscopic Posterior Laryngotracheoplasty
Posterior glottic stenosis and bilateral vocal fold immobility can be challenging conditions to manage. However, the introduction of endoscopic posterior cricoid expansion with costal cartilage grafting nearly 20 years ago has been revolutionary, resulting in shorter hospital stays, decreased morbidity, and improved vocal outcomes after surgery. Further advances have been made through the development of single-stage protocols, the use of non-traditional grafting materials, and the application of transoral robotic approaches to improve access and visualization.

Endoscopic Management of Vocal Fold Paralysis
Vocal fold paralysis is a challenging disorder to manage in the pediatric population. While many cases may be managed expectantly, patients with problematic dysphonia, aspiration, or dyspnea may require surgical intervention. Tracheostomy was performed in nearly all patients with bilateral vocal fold paralysis and some patients with unilateral vocal fold paralysis in the past. However, with modern endoscopic and open procedures for vocal fold paralysis, current tracheostomy rates have decreased to 4-69%.

Laser Supraglottoplasty
Laryngomalacia is usually a benign condition that improves on its own in most cases. A small percentage of patients develop severe symptoms and require surgical intervention with supraglottoplasty either hot (laser) or cold to improve the symptoms. Severe laryngomalacia may result in failure to thrive, sleep apnea, stridor, respiratory distress, and in specific cases may require surgical intervention.
