Abstract
Objectives
Laryngeal Cleft (LC) is an anatomical defect that can cause swallowing difficulties and subsequent recurrent respiratory symptoms. LC can be treated surgically by performing suture repair or by Injection Laryngoplasty (IL). The indications and efficacy of IL are debated among pediatric otolaryngologists. The aim of this survey study was to review the international perspective on IL for LC.
Methods
An online survey was conducted to assess international opinions on the indications and efficacy of IL for LC patients. An online survey was sent to 250 pediatric otolaryngologists worldwide. The survey included questions on the management of LC, the physicians’ experience with IL, and their use of IL.
Results
Sixty two (25 %) pediatric otolaryngologists, from 47 medical centers, completed the survey. Of the respondents, 38 (62 %) perform IL. The most reported indication was as a diagnostic tool. For the respondents who did not perform IL, the reasons most reported were that the effect is temporary and that there is a need for a second surgery after IL.
Conclusion
According to this survey, the perspectives on the use of IL for LC differ among pediatric otolaryngologists, and there is variation in peri-and postoperative standard of care. The respondents' opinions on IL were partly dependent on the intended outcome of its use, i.e., as a permanent treatment or for other indications.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
