Congenital laryngeal cleft is a rare airway malformation, mainly manifested as choking, feeding difficulties, which affects the growth and development of children. Patients with a severe laryngeal cleft may have recurrent aspiration, leading to cyanotic spells, or even death. Advances in development of endoscopic techniques have made early diagnosis possible. Depending on the degree of cleft, management may involve a variety of approaches ranging from medical management alone to open repair. Therefore, it is important for pediatric ENT doctors to diagnose and evaluate in clinical practice. This consensus statement, developed by the Pediatric otorhinolaryngology Professional Committee of the Pediatrician Branch of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association, provides comprehensive recommendations and standardized guidance on diagnosis and management of laryngeal cleft, based on symptomatology, physical examinations, and laboratory tests.

This patient suffered from severe subglottic stenosis(grade Ⅳb). During partial cricotracheal resection, we cut through the cricothyroid membrane and the cricoid arch along the line from the lower edge of the thyroid cartilage to 5 mm of the inferior thyroid cartilage corner anteromedially. This can protect the cricothyroid joint, effectively protect the recurrent laryngeal nerve, and also support the airway. Strictly adhere to airway separation, avoid excessive separation of scars, and combine with reasonable postoperative management to achieve a safe extubation.

This paper focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of disorders of laryngeal airway in children, including congenital anomalies, infection, and tumor of the larynx to provide a new technology for managing these diseases. Based on the characteristic of them, the pediatric upper airway is dedicated to the clinical evaluation of airway obstruction and the assessment of the compromised pediatric airway, including clinical evaluation of symptoms, diagnostic endoscopy, and imaging examination. Information on endoscopic techniques used for dealing with different degrees of pediatric airway comprised is provided, also this techniques could diagnose what kinds of airway disorder. For example, determining the a particular laryngeal cleft at the initial otolaryngology encounter, flexible laryngoscopy should be performed. In order to define the extent of any identified cleft, the rigid bronchoscopy should be completed to evaluate for classification of laryngeal cleft including typeⅠ, Ⅱ, Ⅲa, Ⅲb, Ⅳa, Ⅳb under general anesthesia. The decision to pursue any therapy for the disorders of laryngeal airway in children should be based on the severity of the patient's symptoms, endoscopic and imaging examination. There are two medical treatments including nonsurgical therapy and surgical therapy. For example the laryngeal cleft, approximately half of type 1 and select type 2 patients can be managed entirely with nonsurgical therapy. Medical management is multifaceted. Under recommendations from the feeding team, a modified diet with thickened feeds and possibly altered feeding position should be initiated. Endoscopic surgical repair is the current gold standard for definitive repair of type 1, the majority of type 2, and selected type 3 clefts. Finally, information on new techniques used into the future for dealing with the diagnosis and treatment of disorders of laryngeal airway in children in this paper.

Objective:To analyze the efficacy of endoscopic surgical repair in the treatment of type Ⅲ laryngeal clefts and to explore the feasibility of the treatment for type Ⅲ laryngeal clefts. Methods:The clinical data of 6 children with type Ⅲ laryngeal clefts who underwent endoscopic surgical repair in our department from June 2018 to January 2023 were analyzed retrospectively. The operation was performed under combined intravenous and general anesthesia,preserving the spontaneous breathing of the children. With the assistance of 4 mm/0° endoscope, radiofrequency knife or laryngeal scissors were used to make fresh wounds along the edge of laryngeal clefts,and cotton pads infiltrated with adrenaline (1:10 000) were used to compress the wound. 6-0 PDP suture was used to suture 3-6 stitches according to the extent of laryngeal clefts. Modified barium swallowing test (MBS) was performed 3 months after operation. Results:All the children were successfully treated with endoscopic surgical repair. After surgery, 2 cases were transferred to pediatric intensive care unit (ICU) for 7 days of monitoring, and the rest were transferred back to the general ward. There were no postoperative complications. The symptoms of dysphagia, laryngitis and recurrent pneumonia were improved in all children. According to the follow-up results of postoperative MBS,no aspiration was found in all children, and 2 children had intermittent cough when drinking large amounts of water. During the follow-up, there were 2 cases of recurrence, and the cracks were completely repaired after the second endoscopic surgical repair treatment,and no recurrence has been observed so far. Conclusion:Endoscopic surgical repair can be applied to some children with type Ⅲ laryngeal clefts with less intraoperative bleeding and fewer operative complications. It can significantly improve the symptoms such as swallowing dysfunction and recurrent pneumonia. It is a safe and effective surgical treatment.

Laryngeal cyst is a cystic lesion occurring in the laryngeal cavity. Large laryngeal cyst in infants and young children can cause laryngeal wheezing and other upper airway obstruction symptoms. In severe cases, it can be even life-threatening and requires timely surgical treatment. Currently, there is a lack of unified clinical treatment strategy for this disease.This article summarizes the surgical methods, the advantages and disadvantages of various surgical methods for laryngeal cysts in recent years. It is recommended that needle aspiration, partial cyst wall resection, radical cyst dissection, transoral robotic surgery or external approach cyst resection should be selected through full communication and evaluation to clarify the extent of the lesion scope and the advantages and disadvantages of surgery.

At present, there is no unified gold standard for the treatment of laryngeal clefts. Type Ⅰ laryngeal clefts with mild symptoms can be treated conservatively, such as thick diet feeding and using proton pump inhibitor to control reflux, while Ⅱ-Ⅳ laryngeal clefts mostly requires surgical intervention.There are many different surgical methods for the treatment of laryngeal clefts, including injection laryngoplasty, endoscopic surgical repair of laryngeal clefts and open laryngoplasty through anterior cervical approach. How to choose a more suitable surgical plan for children is a problem worth discussing. This article will review the literature on the surgical treatment of laryngeal clefts both domestically and internationally, and summarize the current situation and challenges of surgical treatment of laryngeal clefts.

Congenital laryngomalacia is the most common disease causing laryngeal stridor in infants. The pathogenesis has not yet been clearly concluded. It may be related to abnormal development of laryngeal cartilage anatomical structure, neuromuscular dysfunction, gastroesophageal and laryngeal reflux disease, etc. The typical manifestations of the disease are inspiratory laryngeal stridor and feeding difficulties, which can be divided into mild, moderate and severe according to the severity of symptoms. The diagnosis is mainly based on clinical symptoms, signs and endoscopy, among which endoscopy is an important diagnostic basis. The treatment of laryngomalacia depends on the severity of symptoms. Mild and some moderate congenital laryngomalacia children can be relieved by conservative treatment, and severe and some moderate congenital laryngomalacia children should be treated by surgery. Supraglottic plasty is the main surgical method, which can effectively improve the symptoms of laryngeal stridor, dyspnea, feeding difficulties and growth retardation in most children, and the surgical effect is good.

ABSTRACT Objective: To describe the correlation between the residues, their anatomical location and the presence of laryngotracheal penetration and aspiration in patients after supracricoid laryngectomy undergoing cricohyoidoepiglotopexy reconstruction. Methods: This study included 70 patients treated by supracricoid laryngectomy with cricohyoidoepiglotopexy reconstruction in a referral national cancer hospital. The patients were submitted to swallowing videofluoroscopy, and the findings were classified by the penetration and aspiration scale. The images were described observing the presence or absence of residues and their anatomical location. Results: The prevalence of penetration in this study was 68.6% and aspiration was 34.3%. An association was found between the presence of residue on the tongue (p=0.005), posterior pharyngeal wall (p=0.013), pyriform recesses (p=0.002), valecula (p=0.061), and laryngeal penetration. The residue in the upper esophageal sphincter (p=0.039) was associated with the occurrence of laryngotracheal aspiration. Conclusion: Patients undergoing supracricoid laryngectomy with cricohioidoepiglotopexy reconstruction have food residues in different anatomical regions after swallowing. Penetration was associated with the presence of residues on the base of the tongue and posterior pharyngeal wall. Aspiration was associated with the presence of residues in the upper esophageal sphincter.

Objective: To investigate the clinical diagnosis and treatment of congenital laryngotracheoesophageal cleft (LTEC) in children. Methods: The clinical data of 8 children (including 7 males and 1 female)with congenital laryngotracheoesophageal cleft from January 2016 to June 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. The median diagnosing age was 3.75 months (5 days to 12 months). According to the modified Benjamin Inglis classification proposed by Sandu in 2006,there were 3 cases of type Ⅱ, 3 cases of type Ⅲa, 1 case of type Ⅲb and 1 case of type Ⅳa. All children were followed up regularly. Results: Six patients were treated for recurrent bronchopneumonia and aspiration during feeding. The patients were first treated in the pneumology departmentt or intensive care unit. Six patients combined with other malformations. Endoscopic repair operations were performed in 6 cases (3 cases of type Ⅱ, 3 cases of type Ⅲ a), 1 case of LTEC was operated through cervical approach, and 1 case of type IVa LTEC associated with VACTERL was repaired under thoracoscope combined with suspension laryngoscope. Seven patients underwent tracheotomy before or during the repair operations. Gastrostomy was performed in 2 children. The operations were successfully performed in all cases. Three children with type Ⅱ LTEC recovered well and decannulated. One case of type Ⅲa was followed up for 5 months with occasionally choking while feeding. Two cases of type Ⅲa, 1 case of type Ⅲb and 1 case of type Ⅳa died due to severe reflux, tracheomalacia or respiratory failure. Conclusions: Congenital LTEC is a rare congenital malformation which is difficult to diagnose for the poor specificity of clinical manifestations. LTEC needs to be classified by endoscopy examination under general anesthesia. Severe cases of LTEC have poorer outcomes than the mild cases, and the perioperative managements need multi-disciplinary cooperation to reduce the mortality.

Abstract Introduction The increase in life expectancy is an incentive to the development of researches with the elderly population aiming at actions that may ensure healthy and active aging. Objective To analyze the profile of laryngeal microsurgery performed in patients > 60 years old. Methods A retrospective observational study, with a cross-sectional design. A retrospective analysis of the medical records of elderly patients submitted to laryngeal microsurgery was performed at a private hospital in Curitiba, state of Paraná, Brazil, between January 2004 and December 2016. Were included all of the patients > 60 years old that underwent laryngeal microsurgery during this period. Results During the studied period, 213 laryngeal microsurgeries were performed in 181 patients > 60 years old. There was a preponderance of male patients. The mean age was 67.6 years old. Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) was the most prevalent disorder (26%), followed by Reinke edema (20%), papillomatosis (14%), polyps (11%), leukoplakia (8%), minor structural alterations (8%), associated lesions (9%), and others (4%). Men presented a higher probability of SCC diagnosis, regardless of the age group, while Reinke edema was more frequently observed in women. A directly proportional relation between the frequency of laryngeal cancer and age increase was also observed. No significant differences were observed in professional voice users. Conclusion Further researches are required to properly comprehend the factors associ- ated with laryngeal lesions and determine prevention and treatment approaches.

Abstract Background and objectives: This clinical trial aimed to evaluate the effects of two different inhalation anesthetic agents on postoperative olfactory memory and olfactory function in patients who underwent micro laryngeal surgery. Methods: This randomized prospective controlled study consisted of 102 consecutive patients with a voice disorder. The patients underwent micro laryngeal surgery for voice disorders under general anesthesia. Patients who did not meet inclusion criteria and/or declined to participate (n = 34) were excluded from the study. Patients were divided into two groups. Four patients from Group 1 and four patients from Group 2 were lost to follow-up. Group 1 (n = 30) received sevoflurane, and Group 2 (n = 30) received desflurane during anesthesia. We compared the results by performing the pre-op and post-op Connecticut Chemosensory Clinical Research Center Olfactory test. Results: Thirty-three patients (55%) were male and 27 (45%) were female. The mean age was 48.18 ± 13.88 years (range: 19‒70 years). Preoperative and postoperative olfactory functions did not show a significant difference within the groups postoperatively (p > 0.05). Preoperative and postoperative olfactory memory showed a significant decrease 3 hours after the surgery (p < 0.05). Conclusions: Olfactory functions and memory were not affected by desflurane in the early postoperative period. Although sevoflurane did not affect olfactory functions, it had a temporary negative effect on olfactory memory in the early postoperative period.
Resumo Introdução e objetivos: O estudo avaliou o efeito pós-operatório de dois agentes anestésicos inalatórios distintos na memória olfativa de curta duração e na função olfativa em pacientes submetidos à microcirurgia de laringe. Método: O estudo prospectivo controlado randomizado avaliou, consecutivamente, 102 pacientes com alteração vocal submetidos à microcirurgia de laringe sob anestesia geral. Trinta e quatro pacientes não obedeceram aos critérios de inclusão e/ou não aceitaram participar do estudo e foram excluídos. Os pacientes foram divididos em dois grupos. Quatro pacientes do Grupo 1 e quatro do Grupo 2 foram perdidos durante o seguimento. O Grupo 1 (n = 30) recebeu sevoflurano durante a anestesia e o Grupo 2 (n = 30), desflurano. Comparamos resultados pré e pós-operatórios de memória olfativa e funções olfativas, realizando o Connecticut Chemosensory Clinical Research Center Olfactory test. Resultados: Foram incluídos um total de 33 (55%) homens e 27 (45%) mulheres. A idade média foi 48,18 ± 13,88 anos (variação: 19-70 anos). As funções olfativas pré e pós-operatórias não apresentaram diferença estatisticamente significante dentro dos grupos no pós-operatório (p > 0,05). A memória olfativa pré e pós-operatória não mostrou diminuição estatisticamente significante quando avaliada três horas após a cirurgia (p< 0,05). Conclusões: Memória e funções olfativas não foram alteradas pelo desflurano no pós-operatório imediato. Embora o sevoflurano não tenha alterado as funções olfativas, causou efeito temporário negativo na memória olfativa no pós-operatório imediato.

RESUMEN El trauma laríngeo constituye un grupo de lesiones infrecuentes, pero de gran importancia clínica dada su alta morbimortalidad. Requiere un alto nivel de sospecha, puesto que muchas de estas lesiones pueden pasar desapercibidas en la evaluación inicial. Se debe sospechar en todo paciente que se presenta con traumatismo cervical y síntomas que van desde la disfonía y el dolor cervical anterior, a la disnea e incluso el compromiso respiratorio severo por obstrucción de la vía aérea. El abordaje de estos pacientes debe iniciar con la evaluación de la vía aérea y asegurar su estabilidad, para luego enfocarse en el diagnóstico y manejo específico de las lesiones. Presentamos a continuación una revisión bibliográfica en cuanto a los mecanismos de trauma, presentación clínica, diagnóstico, clasificación y manejo.
ABSTRACT The laryngeal trauma constitutes a group of infrequent lesions, but with great clinical importance, given its high morbidity and mortality. It requires a high level of suspicion, since many of these injuries may go unnoticed at the initial evaluation. It should be suspected in every patient presenting with cervical trauma and symptoms ranging from dysphonia and anterior cervical pain, to dyspnea or even severe respiratory distress, due to obstruction of the airway. The approach of these patients should begin with the evaluation of the airway and ensure its stability, to then focus on the diagnosis and specific management of the lesions. We present an updated literature review regarding the mechanisms of trauma, clinical presentation, diagnosis, classification and management.

Introducción: La microcirugía de laringe incluye el dilema de un campo quirúrgico que coincide espacialmente con el del acceso a la vía respiratoria del paciente. Los mixomas, sobre todo numerosos y supra-infraglóticos, representan un reto terapéutico. Si aunado a este hecho, el paciente presenta una vía respiratoria anatómicamente difícil, la fórmula de la catástrofe sólo precisa mezclarlos con un plan de ventilación convencional. En este caso, la ventilación jet puede ser la alternativa para evitar una situación de desastre. Objetivo: Describir la secuencia de hechos y los resultados al aplicar por primera vez en el país la ventilación jet vía transcricotiroidea. Caso clínico: Ante el fracaso previo de una intervención mediante un método tradicional de ventilación, en una segunda intención para exéresis de múltiples mixomas laríngeos en una paciente con vía respiratoria anatómicamente difícil, después de obtener su consentimiento informado, se procedió a anestesiar y obtener un acceso transcricotiroideo a la vía respiratoria, para ventilar con flujos jet a través de un trocar 16G. La intervención, pensada para 15 min, se extendió durante 90 sin complicaciones ventilatorias o de oxigenación. La paciente fue dada de alta sin secuelas. Conclusiones: Aplicar ventilación jet vía transcricotiroidea fue oportuno, seguro y efectivo. Las complicaciones cardiovasculares menores fueron fácilmente controlables. Se usó por primera vez la ventilación jet transcricotiroidea en el país. Este resultado estimula la asimilación de las tecnologías de ventilación jet en contextos electivos o emergentes, como el desafío de una vía respiratoria anatómicamente difícil(AU)
Introduction: The larynx microsurgery involves the dilemma of a surgical field that coincides spatially with that of access to the patient's airway. Myxomas, especially numerous and supra/subglottic, represent a therapeutic challenge. If together with this fact, the patient presents an anatomically difficult airway, the formula for the catastrophe just needs to mix both with a conventional ventilation plan. In this case, jet ventilation can be the choice to avoid a disaster situation. Objective: To describe the sequence of events and the outcomes when transcricotyroid jet ventilation was applied for the first time in the country. Clinical case: In the face of previous failure of an intervention using a traditional method of ventilation, in a second intention for exeresis of multiple laryngeal myxomas in a patient with anatomically difficult airway, after obtaining her informed consent, we proceeded to anesthetize to obtain a transcricothyroid access to the respiratory tract, to ventilate with jet flows through a 16G trocar. The intervention, planned for 15 min, was extended for 90 minutes without ventilatory or oxygenation complications. The patient was discharged without sequelae. Conclusions: Transcricotyroid jet ventilation was timely, safe and effective. Minor cardiovascular complications were easily controllable. Transcricotyroid jet ventilation was used for the first time in the country. This outcome stimulates the assimilation of jet ventilation technologies in elective or emerging contexts, such as the challenge of an anatomically difficult airway(AU)

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate clinical stability of neurologically impaired children and adolescents with recurrent pneumonia submitted to laryngotracheal separation. Methods: Between October 2002 and June 2015, 92 neurologically impaired children from a reference service, with median age of 68.5 months were submitted to laryngotracheal separation. Data were evaluated and statistical analysis was made by Student's t test and Pearson's χ2 test (significance level adopted of 95%). Results: Fifty-three children were male (57.6%). Forty-six children required admission to intensive care, and 42.4% needed mechanical ventilation. We observed that 90.2% of patients were exclusively fed by gastrostomy and 72.4% of the gastrostomies were performed before the tracheal surgery. Thirteen (14.1%) children had postoperative complications as follows: fistulae (5.4%), bleeding (4.3%), granuloma (2.2%) and stenosis (3.2%). A total of 24 patients had pneumonia in the postoperative period (26.1%), but there was a significant drop in occurrence of this condition after surgery (100% versus 26.1%; p<0.001). Twenty-three patients (25%) died. Postoperative complications were similar when comparing patients who died and those that presented good outcome (16.7% versus 13.2%; p=0.73). Conclusion: When well-indicated, the laryngotracheal separation reduces the incidence of postoperative pulmonary infections, thus improving quality of life and reducing admissions to hospital. Laryngotracheal separation should be indicated as a primary procedure in patients with cerebral palsy and recurrent aspiration pneumonia.
RESUMO Objetivo: Avaliar a estabilidade clínica da criança e do adolescente neuropata com episódios de pneumonia de repetição submetidos a procedimento cirúrgico de separação laringotraqueal. Métodos: Entre outubro 2002 a junho 2015, 92 crianças neuropatas de um único serviço com idade mediana de 68,5 meses foram submetidas à separação laringotraqueal. Os dados foram avaliados e foi realizada análise estatística pelo teste t de Student e pelo teste do χ2 de Pearson, com nível de significância adotado de 95%. Resultados: Dentre as 92 crianças, 53 eram do sexo masculino (57,6%). Quarenta e seis crianças necessitaram de internação em unidade de terapia intensiva, e 42,4% fizeram uso de ventilação mecânica. Dessas crianças, 90,2% alimentavam-se exclusivamente via gastrostomia, e 72,4% foram realizadas antes da separação laringotraqueal. As complicações pós-operatórias ocorreram em 13 crianças (14,1%), na seguinte ordem: fístula (5,4%), sangramento (4,3%), granuloma (2,2%) e estenose (3,2%). Observaram-se 24 episódios de pneumonia no período pós-operatório (26,1%). Houve diminuição significativa de ocorrência de pneumonias após a cirurgia (100% versus 26,1%, p<0,001). Óbito foi registrado em 23 pacientes (25%). A frequência de complicações pós-operatórias foi semelhante entre os pacientes que evoluíram ou não para óbito (16,7% versus 13,2%; p=0,73). Conclusão: A cirurgia bem indicada reduz o número de infecção pulmonar após o procedimento, melhorando a qualidade de vida desses pacientes e, consequentemente, reduzindo o número de internações. A separação laringotraqueal deve ser indicada como procedimento primário nos pacientes com paralisia cerebral e episódios repetidos de pneumonia aspirativa.

Introducción: La ventilación al paciente durante la microcirugía laríngea confronta varios problemas. La ventilación a chorro tipo jet con frecuencias ventilatorias convencionales permite usar catéteres endotraqueales de pequeño diámetro para aportar volúmenes adecuados de oxígeno y proporciona mejores condiciones operatorias que el método tradicional. Objetivo: Evaluar la seguridad y efectividad de la ventilación jet con frecuencias ventilatorias convencionales para microcirugía laríngea electiva en comparación con la ventilación convencional. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio comparativo, a simple ciego, aleatorizado y paralelo. Se trabajó con un prototipo de dispositivo de ventilación jet con permiso de uso excepcional en seres humanos (autorización excepcional No: 004/17 para realización de estudio piloto, con fecha 2 de agosto de 2017, conferido por el CECMED). Se utilizó un grupo estudio de 45 pacientes (grupo E) y se comparó con un grupo control (grupo C) de 15 pacientes ventilados mediante el método tradicional. Resultados: La oxigenación resultó superior dentro del grupo E. El grupo C requirió eventualmente de extubación, apnea transitoria y reintubación, lo que repercutió en contra de la integridad anatomofisiológica de los pacientes, del campo operatorio y la docencia. Fue evidente una mayor estabilidad hemodinámica entre los sujetos del grupo E. Las presiones intrapulmonares producidas por la ventilación jet no provocaron lesiones ni repercusión clínica evidentes. Conclusiones: Aplicar la ventilación a chorro con frecuencias ventilatorias convencionales fue seguro y efectivo. Por primera vez se obtienen experiencias de utilización de un método de ventilación jet en el país. El grupo en el que se aplicó la ventilación convencional sufrió complicaciones más frecuentes y peligrosas. Es necesario asimilar las tecnologías de ventilación jet para elevar la calidad de la atención médica en tiempos de paz, de guerra o desastres, en contextos electivos, o emergentes como el desafío de una vía respiratoria difícil(AU)
Introduction: Ventilation to the patient during microlaryngeal surgery confronts several problems. Jet ventilation with conventional ventilatory frequencies allows the use of small diameter endotracheal catheters to provide adequate oxygen volumes and provide better operating conditions than the traditional method. Objective: To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of jet ventilation with conventional ventilatory frequencies for elective microlaryngeal surgery in comparison to conventional ventilation. Methods: A comparative, single-blind, randomized and parallel study was performed. It was used a prototype of jet ventilation device with an exceptional use permit in humans (exceptional authorization No: 004/17 for conducting a pilot study, dated August 2, 2017, conferred by the CECMED). A study group of 45 patients (group E) was used and compared with a control group (group C) of 15 patients using the traditional ventilation method. Results: Oxygenation was higher in group E. Group C eventually required extubation, transitory apnea and reintubation, which impacted against the anatomophysiological integrity of patients, the operative field and teaching. A greater hemodynamic stability was evident among the subjects of group E. The intrapulmonary pressures produced by jet ventilation did not cause obvious injuries or clinical repercussions. Conclusions: Applying jet ventilation with conventional ventilatory frequencies was safe and effective. For the first time, experiences of using a jet ventilation method in the country were obtained. The group in which conventional ventilation was applied suffered more frequent and dangerous complications. It is necessary to assimilate jet ventilation´s technologies to raise the quality of medical attention in times of peace, war or disasters, in elective or emerging contexts as the challenge of a difficult airway(AU)
