Effect of Intraoperative Dexmedetomidine Use on Postoperative Delirium in the Elderly After Laryngectomy: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial
CONCLUSION: Intraoperative dexmedetomidine administration did not prevent POD in patients with laryngeal cancer. Dexmedetomidine reduced serum CRP and IL-6 levels postoperatively but caused a higher occurrence of intraoperative hypotension in elderly patients after a laryngectomy.PMID:37766822 | PMC:PMC10521928 | DOI:10.2147/DDDT.S424526 (Source: Cancer Control)

Risk factors for total laryngectomy associated proximal esophageal stricture formation in head and neck cancer patients
CONCLUSION: Symptomatic strictures occurred in 18.8% of the cases. Age, nodal status N>1, continued alcohol abuse and diabetes mellitus were predictive factors. For refractory stenosis (>3 dilatations needed) mean and maximum postoperative CRP were predictive. This may indicate that systemic inflammatory response post-surgery is involved in the stricture formation process.PMID:37758037 | DOI:10.1055/a-2150-2689 (Source: Zeitschrift fur Gastroenterologie)

Interdisciplinary defect reconstruction of upper aerodigestive fistulas-case series and treatment algorithm
CONCLUSION: Complex defects of the upper aerodigestive tract with multiple previous operations can be successfully reconstructed. Because of its versatility, the ALT flap seems to be a very good option. Prerequisite for this is an interdisciplinary treatment approach with a critical assessment of patient- and disease-specific factors.PMID:37707515 | DOI:10.1007/s00106-023-01358-y (Source: HNO)

Thermal imaging and velocity measurements of the exhaled airflow in total laryngectomized patients during COVID-19 pandemic.
CONCLUSION: Laryngectomized patients without laryngeal tubes pose a lower risk for spreading viral aerosols due to the reduced velocity of the exhaled airflow caused by the absence of the tube as the narrowing factor. Patients with laryngeal tubes who undergo total laryngectomies during the COVID-19 pandemic should use HMEs with viral filter, if possible, also changing the laryngeal tubes to dermal adhesives for fitting their HMEs seems to be the best option. The surface of the used protective equipment can also be examined with thermal camera in the case of total laryngectomees. COVID-19 PCR testing of the tracheal secret...
