Refining prognostic subcategories in intermediate-advanced glottic cancer: A multicentric study on 637 patients treated by transoral laser microsurgery.
[BACKGROUND] The current TNM staging system does not fully address the variations in glottic squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) extension and subsites involvement, especially if treated with transoral laser microsurgery (TOLMS). This study aims …

Enhancing quality of life in head and neck cancer patients: a comparative analysis of 3D exoscope-assisted surgery vs. traditional approaches.
[INTRODUCTION] The increasing population of survivors of head and neck carcinomas is becoming more conspicuous. Consequently, the pivotal role of quality of life, particularly elucidated through the assessment of dysphagia and dysphonia, is…

Functional outcomes after transoral CO laser treatment for posterior glottic stenosis: a bicentric case series.
[PURPOSE] The aim of this study is to evaluate functional outcomes in terms of decannulation rate and quality of life of patients affected by PGS (Grades I-IV) treated only by transoral CO laser microsurgery (TOLMS) in two tertiary centers.…

Validation of the European Laryngological Society classification of glottic vascular changes as seen by narrow band imaging in the optical biopsy setting.
[PURPOSE] In 2016, the European Laryngological Society (ELS) proposed a classification for vascular changes occurring in glottic lesions as visible by narrow band imaging (NBI), based on the dichotomic distinction between longitudinal vesse…

μRALP and Beyond: Micro-Technologies and Systems for Robot-Assisted Endoscopic Laser Microsurgery.
Laser microsurgery is the current gold standard surgical technique for the treatment of selected diseases in delicate organs such as the larynx. However, the operations require large surgical expertise and dexterity, and face significant li…

Quality of life after transoral CO laser posterior cordotomy with or without partial arytenoidectomy for bilateral adductor vocal cord paralysis.
[OBJECTIVES] Bilateral adductor vocal cord paralysis (BAVCP) is a rare and challenging condition whose main consequence is reduction of airway patency at the glottic level, often causing respiratory distress, while vocal function tends to r…

Transoral laser microsurgery: feasibility of a new exoscopic HD-3D system coupled with free beam or fiber laser.
In the last decades, new technological devices and instruments have been developed to overcome the technical limits of transoral laser microsurgery. The recent introduction of 3D endoscopy seems to be a promising tool in the field of diagno…

Botulinum Toxin Injection Plus Topical Diltiazem for Chronic Anal Fissure: A Randomized Double-Blind Clinical Trial and Long-term Outcome.
[BACKGROUND] Chemical sphincterotomy avoids the risk of permanent incontinence in the treatment of chronic anal fissure, but it does not reach the efficacy of surgery and recurrence is high. Drug combination has been proposed to overcome th…
