    Abstract Objective: The primary objective of this study was to evaluate oncologic outcomes of all published cases of supracricoid partial laryngectomy (SCPL) performed in the United States. The secondary objective was to assess the functional outcomes associated with this procedure.
    Review methods: A systematic review of PubMed, SCOPUS, and Embase for all English-language studies pertaining to SCPL performed in the United States was conducted until August 2021. Primary outcomes included disease-specific survival (DSS), overall survival, and local recurrence rate. Secondary outcomes included larynx preservation rate, gastrostromy tube dependency, days to gastrostomy tube removal, decannulation rate, and days to decannulation.
    Results: A total of six studies were included in the analysis. A total of 113 patients (58.5%) underwent SCPL surgery as a primary treatment method whereas 80 patients (41.5%) underwent SCPL as salvage surgery. The 5-year DSS rates were 87.8% and 100% for primary and salvage procedures, respectively. Approximately 10.3% of patients undergoing a salvage SCPL procedure experienced a local recurrence whereas only 1.85% of primary SCPL procedures resulted in local recurrence. The rates of decannulation following primary and salvage SCPL were 92.7% and 88.1%, respectively. With regard to swallowing, primary and salvage SCPL procedures demonstrated comparably low postoperative gastrostomy tube dependency rates of 3.66% and 4.76%, respectively.
    Conclusions: SCPL performed in the United States is an effective surgical technique that produces excellent outcomes in qualifying patients, thus validating its viability as an organ-preserving surgical alternative. Laryngoscope, 2024.

    Abstract Objective(s): Despite advancements in imaging techniques and cytological analysis, plunging ranula remains a challenging surgical, radiologic, and pathologic phenomenon. Of the 18 patients we evaluated at our institution, we highlight three cases that illustrate the high rate of misleading imaging and cytological results when assessing plunging ranula.
    Methods: Imaging results, biopsy findings, operative techniques, and pathological reports were reviewed from patients who had either a preoperative or postoperative diagnosis of ranula and underwent surgery by a single head and neck surgeon at a tertiary care center.
    Results: Of the 18 identified patients, computed tomography was correct on preoperative imaging 73% of the time and magnetic resonance imaging was correct on preoperative imaging 71% of the time. Two patients underwent preoperative ultrasound and their ultrasound reports did not accurately diagnose the presence of a ranula. Two patients underwent preoperative fine needle aspiration biopsy due to inconclusive preoperative imaging, in which results suggested either a ranula or epidermal cyst. Both ultimately did not match the final pathology. Three of eighteen patients (17%) underwent an inappropriate initial surgery due to incorrect imaging diagnoses and/or biopsy findings.
    Conclusion: Despite use of preoperative modalities to distinguish plunging ranula from other cystic floor of mouth lesions, surgeons must be aware that no workup modality is fully precise. The potential for revision surgery must be included in all preoperative discussions for presumed plunging ranula.

    Abstract Background: The impact of pre-existing ischemic heart disease (IHD) on pregnancy is incompletely described.
    Objectives: The purpose of this study was to compare adverse pregnancy outcomes between those with IHD and those with a cardiac diagnosis categorized by the modified World Health Organization classification and those without a cardiac diagnosis.
    Methods: This retrospective study used the 2015 to 2018 Nationwide Readmissions Database. Delivery hospitalizations, comorbidities, and outcomes were identified using diagnosis and procedure codes. The exposure was isolated IHD. The primary outcome was severe maternal morbidity (SMM) or death during the delivery hospitalization, analyzed using adjusted relative risk (aRR) regression and weighted to account for the Nationwide Readmissions Database's complex survey methods.
    Results: Of 11,556,136 delivery hospitalizations, 65,331 had another cardiac diagnosis, and 3,009 had IHD alone. Patients with IHD were older and had higher rates of diabetes and hypertension. In unadjusted analyses, adverse outcomes were more common among patients with IHD alone than among patients with no cardiac disease and modified World Health Organization class I-II disease. After adjustment, patients with IHD alone were associated with a higher risk of SMM or death (aRR: 1.51; 95% CI: 1.19-1.92) than those without a cardiac disease. In comparison, the aRR was 1.90 (95% CI: 1.76-2.06) for WHO class I-II diseases and 5.87 (95% CI: 5.49-6.27) for WHO II/III-IV diseases. Nontransfusion SMM or death (aRR: 1.60; 95% CI: 1.11-2.30) and cardiac SMM or death (aRR: 2.98; 95% CI: 1.75-5.08) were also higher for those with IHD.
    Conclusions: Isolated IHD in pregnancy is associated with worse outcomes than no cardiac disease during delivery hospitalization and approximates the risk associated with WHO I-II diagnoses.

    Abstract Tracheostomal stenosis following total laryngectomy presents a serious concern for surgeons and patients. Although various techniques correct tracheostomal stenosis, none address an existing tracheoesophageal puncture (TEP). We present an approach to repair tracheostomal stenosis, requiring tracheal resection, and preserve the TEP in a functional position needed for speech rehabilitation. A 62-year-old male with squamous carcinoma of the right true vocal fold underwent a salvage total laryngectomy with placement of a tracheoesophageal prosthesis. Seven years later, he developed tracheal narrowing. A tracheal resection and tracheoplasty were performed to manage the stenosis while maintaining the tracheoesophageal puncture. Six months postoperatively, the patient was well, with no stomal narrowing or trend toward collapse and uneventful healing. He achieved fluent voice easily with stomal occlusion. We present a novel surgical technique to correct for tracheostomal stenosis following total laryngectomy. Our technique allows for TEP preservation to facilitate speech rehabilitation postoperatively.

    Abstract Background: To compare rates of severe maternal morbidity (SMM) for pregnant patients with a cardiac diagnosis classified by the modified World Health Organization (mWHO) classification to those without a cardiac diagnosis.
    Methods: This retrospective study using the 2015-2019 Nationwide Readmissions Database identified hospitalizations, comorbidities, and outcomes using diagnosis and procedure codes. The primary exposure was cardiac diagnosis, classified into low-risk (mWHO class I and II) and moderate-to-high-risk (mWHO class II/III, III, or IV). The primary outcome was SMM or death during the delivery hospitalization; secondary outcomes included cardiac-specific SMM during delivery hospitalizations and readmissions after the delivery hospitalization.
    Results: A weighted national estimate of 14,995,122 delivery admissions was identified, including 46,541 (0.31%) with mWHO I-II diagnoses and 37,330 (0.25%) with mWHO II/III-IV diagnoses. Patients with mWHO II/III-IV diagnoses experienced SMM at the highest rates (22.8% vs 1.6% for no diagnosis; with adjusted relative risk (aRR) of 5.67 [95% CI: 5.36-6.00]). The risk of death was also highest for patients with mWHO II/III-IV diagnoses (0.3% vs <0.1% for no diagnosis; aRR 18.07 [95% CI: 12.25-26.66]). Elevated risk of SMM and death persisted to 11 months postpartum for those patients with mWHO II/III-IV diagnoses.
    Conclusions: In this nationwide database, SMM is highest among individuals with moderate-to-severe cardiac disease based on mWHO classification. This risk persists in the year postpartum. These results can be used to enhance pregnancy counseling.

    Abstract Objective:  This study aims to determine if pregnant patients with both pyelonephritis and anemia are at an increased risk of adverse maternal outcomes compared with those with pyelonephritis without anemia.
    Study design:  We conducted a retrospective cohort study utilizing the Nationwide Readmissions Database (NRD). Patients with antepartum pyelonephritis-associated hospitalizations from October 2015 to December 2018 were included. International Classification of Diseases codes were used to identify pyelonephritis, anemia, maternal comorbidities, and severe maternal morbidities. The primary outcome was a composite of severe maternal morbidity, as defined by the Centers for Disease Control criteria. Univariate statistical methods, weighted to account for complex survey methods in the NRD, were used to assess for associations between anemia, baseline characteristics, and patient outcomes. Weighted logistic and Poisson regressions were used to assess for associations between anemia and outcomes, adjusting for clinical comorbidities and other confounding factors.
    Results:  In total, 29,296 pyelonephritis admissions were identified, corresponding to a weighted national estimate of 55,135 admissions. Of these, 11,798 (21.3%) were anemic. The rate of severe maternal morbidity was higher among anemic patients than nonanemic patients (27.8% vs. 8.9%, respectively,
    Conclusion:  Among pregnant patients with pyelonephritis, those with anemia are at greater risk of severe maternal morbidity and longer hospital stay.
    Key points: · Anemia is associated with longer stays for pyelo.. · Anemic pyelo patients have increased morbidity.. · Anemic pyelo patients have increased sepsis risk..

    Abstract Background: There is large variation in recommended for postcesarean delivery venous thromboembolism (VTE) prophylaxis among commonly used guidelines.
    Objectives: The aim of the study is to estimate implications of adoption of VTE prevention guidelines for rates of receipt of VTE prophylactic therapy and VTE following cesarean delivery (CD).
    Methods: We used administrative data from the 2015-2019 Nationalwide Readmissions Database to identify cesarean deliveries and rates of VTE stratified by risk factors, leading to different prophylactic strategies based on several national guidelines. We used input parameters from the literature to construct a hybrid decision tree/Markov model to project the implications of guideline adoption on VTE rates for the first 6 weeks following delivery.
    Results: Adoption of either the 2011 American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists or the 2018 American Society for Hematology guidelines would avert a relatively small proportion (5%) of VTE cases, albeit with little low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) use (87-115 doses per 1000 CD patients). The 2012 American College of Chest Physicians guidelines were predicted to be more effective at averting VTE (21.2% reduction) with more LMWH usage (570 doses per 1000 deliveries). The 2015 Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists guidelines and universal use of 6 weeks of LMWH would avert an even larger proportion of cases (37.4% and 57.6%, respectively), at the cost of much higher rates of LMWH utilization (7233 doses per 1000 patients and 38 648 doses per 1000 patients).
    Conclusions: Adoption of different guidelines would have notably varying implications for clinical practice and potential for alteration of the national rate of VTE following CD.

    Abstract Objective:  Pyelonephritis is the most common nonobstetric cause for hospitalization during pregnancy. The maternal and obstetric complications associated with antepartum pyelonephritis are well described. However, it is not clear whether these risks extend into the postpartum period. The primary objective of this study was to describe the morbidity associated with postpartum pyelonephritis, by comparing the morbidity associated with pyelonephritis in the postpartum period to morbidity seen during pregnancy or delivery.
    Study design:  A retrospective cohort study was performed using the Nationwide Readmissions Database (NRD), an all-payor sample of discharges from approximately 60% of U.S. hospitalizations. Discharges between October 2015 and December 2018 were included. Maternity-associated hospitalizations, diagnosis of pyelonephritis, comorbid conditions, and incidence of severe maternal morbidity were identified using International Classification of Disease-10th Revision (ICD-10) diagnosis and procedure codes. Bivariate statistics, weighted to account for the complex survey methods in the NRD, were used to evaluate the association between antepartum, delivery, and postpartum hospital stays associated with pyelonephritis and maternal morbidity. Weighted regression models were used to evaluate the association between admission timing and maternal outcomes.
    Results:  A total of 32,850 pyelonephritis admissions were identified, corresponding to a national estimate of 61,837 admissions. Of these, 1,465 (2.4%) were postpartum, 55,056 (89.0%) were antepartum, and 5,317 (8.6%) involved a delivery stay. Rates of severe maternal morbidity were higher in the postpartum group than the antepartum or delivery hospitalization groups (59.5 vs. 12.9 and 15.8%, respectively,
    Conclusion:  Though relatively uncommon, postpartum hospitalizations for pyelonephritis are associated with higher rates of severe maternal morbidity, driven by differential rates of sepsis, than are antepartum or delivery-associated hospitalizations.

    Abstract Background: In the Northern Hemisphere, influenza season typically starts in December and lasts through March. Pregnant people are at increased risk for influenza-related morbidity and mortality. Potentially, new viral strains or reduced provider suspicion leading to delayed diagnosis of late-season influenza could result in an increased risk of severe infection.
    Objective: This study aimed to assess the incidence and morbidity associated with late-season influenza in pregnancy, compared with influenza in other seasons.
    Study design: This was a retrospective cohort study using the 2007-2018 National Inpatient Sample. Pregnant patients with discharge diagnosis codes consistent with influenza infection were compared on the basis of hospital admission quarter (quarter 1: October to December; quarter 2: January to March; quarter 3: April to June; quarter 4: July to September), with quarter 3 defined as "late-season." The primary outcome was the severe maternal morbidity composite defined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The secondary outcomes included sepsis, shock, acute renal failure, acute heart failure, temporary tracheostomy, and invasive mechanical ventilation. Associations between outcomes and quarter of infection were adjusted for age, hospitalization type (antepartum, delivery, or postpartum), and comorbid conditions using relative risk regression, weighted to reflect the National Inpatient Sample design.
    Results: Of 7355 hospitalizations, corresponding to a weighted national estimate of 36,042, 2266 (30.8%) occurred in quarter 1, 4051 (55.0%) in quarter 2, 633 (8.6%) in quarter 3, and 405 (5.5%) in quarter 4. A nonsignificant trend toward higher rates of severe maternal morbidity was seen in the "late-season" compared with other quarters (13.9% [quarter 3] vs 10.5% [quarter 1] vs 12.1% [quarter 2] vs 13.6% [quarter 4]; P=.07). Moreover, sepsis was more common in patients with late-season influenza (8.0% [quarter 3] vs 4.8% [quarter 1] vs 5.8% [quarter 2] vs 5.9% [quarter 4]; P=.03). In the adjusted analyses, patients with late-season influenza had a 1.34 (95% confidence interval, 1.01-1.78) higher risk of severe maternal morbidity and 1.57 (95% confidence interval, 1.06-2.32) higher risk of sepsis than patients with influenza in quarter 1.
    Conclusion: Influenza infection between April and June, that is, late-season influenza, is associated with a higher risk of severe maternal morbidity and sepsis in pregnant patients. Obstetrical providers must continue to have awareness and suspicion for influenza infection during these months.

    Abstract Open-mouth deformity after mandibular resection presents a challenge for surgeons and patients, contributing to significant functional and cosmetic morbidity. We present an innovative surgical technique to prevent or correct open-mouth deformity. Tensor fascia lata slings were utilized in combination with maxillomandibular fixation to surgically correct or prevent open-mouth deformity in four patients who had previously undergone mandibulectomy or at the time of a contralateral mandibulectomy following prior hemimandibulectomy and reconstruction. Two patients achieved favorable outcomes, including oral competence and improved resting jaw position, while open-mouth deformity could not be corrected for one patient. Another patient remains in the early postoperative period following a secondary procedure to correct open-mouth deformity. Open-mouth deformity is a functional/aesthetic problem that has not been addressed in the literature. Use of tensor fascia lata slings to suspend the mandible is a novel approach to the surgical management of open-mouth deformity.
