Three-dimensional endoscopy: The future of nasoendoscopic training.
Three-dimensional (3D) endoscopy is an emerging tool in surgery that provides real-time depth perception. Its benefits have been investigated in surgical training, but the current literature lacks significant objective outcome data. We aimed to objectively compare the efficacy of two-dimensional (2D) versus 3D high-definition endoscopes in novice users. ⋯ 2b Laryngoscope, 129:1280-1285, 2019.

Children at high risk for respiratory complication after adenotonsillectomy are often admitted to a pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) postoperatively. Although many patients receive care in such units, it is unknown how many utilize critical care resources. ⋯ 4 Laryngoscope, 129:1229-1234, 2019.

Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is a locally aggressive salivary gland malignancy prone to perineural invasion and local recurrences. In the literature, few data exist to guide treatment when this tumor involves the paranasal sinuses and skull base. We report our experience in the management of sinonasal adenoid cystic carcinoma through an endoscopic endonasal approach. ⋯ 4 Laryngoscope, 129:1071-1077, 2019.

Opioid-related deaths in the United States have increased 200% since 2000, in part due to prescription diversion from patients who had a surgical procedure. The purpose of this study was to characterize provider prescription patterns and assess patient-reported opioid use after endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS). ⋯ 4 Laryngoscope, 129:1046-1052, 2019.
