Laryngoscopy  ( ENT - Otolaryngology)
Description:  Direct laryngoscopy, rigid bronchoscopy and dilation of subglottic upper tracheal stenosis.

PREOPERATIVE DIAGNOSIS,Subglottic upper tracheal stenosis.,POSTOPERATIVE DIAGNOSIS,Subglottic upper tracheal stenosis.,OPERATION PREFORMED,Direct laryngoscopy, rigid bronchoscopy and dilation of subglottic upper tracheal stenosis.,INDICATIONS FOR THE SURGERY,The patient is a 76-year-old white female with a history of subglottic upper tracheal stenosis.  She has had undergone multiple previous endoscopic procedures in the past; last procedure was in January 2007.  She returns with some increasing shortness of breath and dyspnea on exertion.  Endoscopic reevaluation is offered to her.  The patient has been considering laryngotracheal reconstruction; however, due to a recent death in the family, she has postponed this, but she has been having increasing symptoms.  An endoscopic treatment was offered to her.  Nature of the proposed procedure including risks and complications involving bleeding, infection, alteration of voice, speech, or swallowing, hoarseness changing permanently, recurrence of stenosis despite a surgical intervention, airway obstruction necessitating a tracheostomy now or in the future, cardiorespiratory, and anesthetic risks were all discussed in length.  The patient states she understood and wished to proceed.,DESCRIPTION OF THE OPERATION,The patient was taken to the operating room, placed on table in supine position.  Following adequate general anesthesia, the patient was prepared for endoscopy.  The top sliding laryngoscope was then inserted in the oral cavity, pharynx, and larynx examined. In the oral cavity, she had good dentition.  Tongue and buccal cavity mucosa were without ulcers, masses, or lesions.  The oropharynx was clear.  The larynx was then manually suspended.  Epiglottis area, epiglottic folds, false cords, true vocal folds with some mild edema, but otherwise, without ulcers, masses, or lesions, and the supraglottic and glottic airway were widely patent.  The larynx was manually suspended and a 5 x 30 pediatric rigid bronchoscope was passed through the vocal folds.  At the base of the subglottis, there was a narrowing and in the upper trachea, restenosis had occurred.  Moderate amount of mucoid secretions, these were suctioned, following which the area of stenosis was dilated.  Remainder of the bronchi was then examined.  The mid and distal trachea were widely patent.  Pale pink mucosa takeoff from mainstem bronchi were widely patent without ulcers, lesions, or evidence of scarring.  The scope was pulled back and removed and following this, a 6 x 30 pediatric rigid bronchoscope was passed through the larynx and further dilatation carried out.  Once this had been completed, dramatic improvement in the subglottic upper tracheal airway accomplished.  Instrumentation was removed and a #6 endotracheal tube, uncuffed, was placed to allow smooth emerge from anesthesia.  The patient tolerated the procedure well without complication.

She presents for suture removal; however, there is still fluid noted now at the antihelix fold above the concha bullosa below previous sutures placed by Dr. X.  It was recommended that this area be drained through the previous incision and drainage incision which has healed and wound care by the patient appears to be very poor if any at all being performed which may be complicating matters.  Consent was obtained.  The patient is aware that the complications with this ear area severe and auricular deformity is inevitable; however, quick prompt aggressive drainage addressing fluid collections offers a best chance for improvement from an already very difficult situation.,The area was prepped in the usual manner, localized and the previous incision was reopened with a curved hemostat and about 5 mL of serosanguineous drainage was noted.  A through-and-through Keith needle bolster dressing was applied with cottonoid pledget on both sides of the ear to help compression.  She tolerated this procedure very well.

Fat injection thyroplasty.,FINDINGS AND PROCEDURE: , With the patient in the supine position under adequate general endotracheal anesthesia, the operative area was prepped and draped in a routine fashion.  A 1-cm incision was made in the upper thigh, and approximately 5 cc of fat was liposuctioned from the subcutaneous space.  After this had been accomplished, the wound was closed with an interrupted subcuticular suture of 4-0 chromic and a light compression dressing was applied.,Next, the fat was placed in a urine strainer and copiously washed using 100 cc of PhysioSol containing 100 units of regular insulin.  After this had been accomplished, it was placed in a 3-cc BD syringe and, thence, into the Stasney fat injector device.  Next, a Dedo laryngoscope was used to visualize the larynx, and approximately *** cc of fat was injected into the right TA muscle and *** cc of fat into the left TA muscle.,The patient tolerated the procedure well and was returned to the recovery room in satisfactory condition.  Estimated blood loss was negligible.
Fiberoptic Nasolaryngoscopy  ( ENT - Otolaryngology)
Description:  Fiberoptic nasolaryngoscopy.  Dysphagia with no signs of piriform sinus pooling or aspiration.  Right parapharyngeal lesion, likely thyroid cartilage, nonhemorrhagic.

No parapharyngeal hemorrhagic lesion noted.,3.  Right parapharyngeal lesion, likely thyroid cartilage, nonhemorrhagic.,PROCEDURE PERFORMED: ,Fiberoptic nasolaryngoscopy.,ANESTHESIA: , None.,COMPLICATIONS: , None.,INDICATIONS FOR PROCEDURE: , The patient is a 93-year-old Caucasian male who was admitted to ABCD General Hospital on 08/07/2003 secondary to ischemic ulcer on the right foot.  ENT was asked to see the patient regarding postop dysphagia with findings at that time of the consultation on 08/17/03 with a fiberoptic nasolaryngoscopy, a right parapharyngeal hemorrhagic lesion possibly secondary to LMA intubation.  The patient subsequently resolved with his dysphagia and workup of Speech was obtained, which showed no aspiration, no pooling, minimal premature spillage with solids, but good protection of the airway.  This is a reevaluation of the right parapharyngeal hemorrhagic lesion that was noted prior.,PROCEDURE DETAILS: ,The patient was brought in the semi-Fowler's position, a fiberoptic nasal laryngoscope was then passed into the patient's right nasal passage, all the way to the nasopharynx.  The scope was then flexed caudally and advanced slowly through the nasopharynx into the oropharynx, and down to the hypopharynx.  The patient's oro and nasopharynx all appeared normal with no signs of any gross lesions, edema, or ecchymosis.,Within the hypopharynx although there was an area of fullness and on the right side around the level of the thyroid cartilage cornu that seemed to be prominent and within the lumen of the hypopharynx.  There were no signs of any obstruction.  The epiglottis, piriform sinuses, vallecula, and base of tongue all appeared normal with no signs of any gross lesions.  The patient with excellent phonation with good glottic closure upon phonation and no signs of any aspiration or pooling of secretions.  The scope was then pulled out and the patient tolerated the procedure well.  At this time, we will follow up as an outpatient and possibly there is a need for a microscopic suspension direct laryngoscopy for evaluation of this right parapharyngeal lesion.

Ear Laceration Repair  ( ENT - Otolaryngology)
Description:  Repair of left ear laceration deformity Y-V plasty 2 cm.  Repair of right ear laceration deformity, complex repair 2 cm.

PREOPERATIVE DIAGNOSIS:,  Bilateral ear laceration deformities.,POSTOPERATIVE DIAGNOSIS:,  Bilateral ear laceration deformities.,PROCEDURE:,1.  Repair of left ear laceration deformity Y-V plasty 2 cm.,2.  Repair of right ear laceration deformity, complex repair 2 cm.,ANESTHESIA: , 1% Xylocaine, 1:100,000 epinephrine local.,BRIEF CLINICAL NOTE: , This patient was brought to the operating room today for the above procedure.,OPERATIVE NOTE: , The patient was laid in supine position, adequately anesthetized with the above anesthesia, sterilely prepped and draped.  The left ear laceration deformity was very close to the bottom of her ear and therefore it was transected through the centrifugal edge of the ear lobe and pared.  The marsupialized epithelialized tracts were pared to raw tissue.  They were pared in a fashion to create a Y-V plasty with de-epithelialization of the distal V and overlap of the undermined from the proximal cephalad edge.  The 5-0 chromic sutures were used to approximate anteriorly, posteriorly, and anterior centrifugal edge in the Y-V plasty fashion to decrease the risk of notching.  Bacitracin, Band-Aid was placed.  Next, attention was turned to the contralateral ear where an elongated laceration deformity was pared of the marsupialized epithelialized edges anteriorly, posteriorly to create raw edges.  This was not taken through the edge of the lobe to decrease the risk of notch deformity.  The laceration was repaired anteriorly and posteriorly in a pleated fashion to decrease length of the incision and to decrease any deformity toward the edge or any dog-ear deformity toward the edge.  The 5-0 chromic sutures were used in interrupted fashion for this.  The patient tolerated the procedure well.  Band-Aid and bacitracin were placed.  She left the operating room in stable condition.
