Postsurgical complications after robot-assisted transaxillary thyroidectomy: critical analysis of a large cohort of European patients.

Updates in surgery
In the last decade, robot-assisted trans-axillary thyroidectomy has spread rapidly and has been proven to be a safe and effective procedure. However, several case series have reported new complications that have led to criticism regarding this approa...

Incidence of Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve Palsy in Robot-Assisted Versus Conventional Minimally Invasive McKeown Esophagectomy in Prone Position: A Propensity Score-Matched Study.

Annals of surgical oncology
BACKGROUND: Esophagectomy with lymphadenectomy is the principal treatment for localized esophageal cancer. Conventional minimally invasive esophagectomy (C-MIE) in prone position has spread worldwide as it is less invasive. However, its efficacy rema...

Objective evaluation of biomaterial effects after injection laryngoplasty - Introduction of artificial intelligence-based ultrasonic image analysis.

Clinical otolaryngology : official journal of ENT-UK ; official journal of Netherlands Society for Oto-Rhino-Laryngology & Cervico-Facial Surgery
OBJECTIVE: Hyaluronic acid (HA) can be degraded over time. However, persistence of the effects after injection laryngoplasty (IL) for unilateral vocal fold paralysis (UVFP), longer than expected from HA longevity, has been observed. The purpose of th...

Application of a Computer Vision Tool for Automated Glottic Tracking to Vocal Fold Paralysis Patients.

Otolaryngology--head and neck surgery : official journal of American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery
OBJECTIVES: (1) Demonstrate true vocal fold (TVF) tracking software (AGATI [Automated Glottic Action Tracking by artificial Intelligence]) as a quantitative assessment of unilateral vocal fold paralysis (UVFP) in a large patient cohort. (2) Correlate...

An Open-Source Computer Vision Tool for Automated Vocal Fold Tracking From Videoendoscopy.

The Laryngoscope
OBJECTIVES: Contemporary clinical assessment of vocal fold adduction and abduction is qualitative and subjective. Herein is described a novel computer vision tool for automated quantitative tracking of vocal fold motion from videolaryngoscopy. The po...

Demographic and Symptomatic Features of Voice Disorders and Their Potential Application in Classification Using Machine Learning Algorithms.

Folia phoniatrica et logopaedica : official organ of the International Association of Logopedics and Phoniatrics (IALP)
BACKGROUND: Studies have used questionnaires of dysphonic symptoms to screen voice disorders. This study investigated whether the differential presentation of demographic and symptomatic features can be applied to computerized classification.

Hierarchical Classification and System Combination for Automatically Identifying Physiological and Neuromuscular Laryngeal Pathologies.

Journal of voice : official journal of the Voice Foundation
OBJECTIVES: Speech signal processing techniques have provided several contributions to pathologic voice identification, in which healthy and unhealthy voice samples are evaluated. A less common approach is to identify laryngeal pathologies, for which...

Vocal Fold Augmentation with Beta Glucan Hydrogel Cross-Linked by γ Irradiation for Enhanced Duration of Effect: In Vivo Animal Study.

BioMed research international
This study explored a novel strategy to restore the vocal gap by using cross-linked β-glucan hydrogel by γ-irradiation. An aqueous solution of 5 wt% β-glucan was prepared and cross-linked using (60)Co γ irradiation. Ten nude mice were injected with 0...
