Post-adenotonsillectomy pharyngeal stenosis in children - a systematic review
Jun 10, 2026
This systematic review aims to characterize post-(adeno)tonsillectomy pharyngeal stenosis in children, a rare but significant complication that can lead to serious morbidity. The authors analyze patient and surgical characteristics, management strategies, and outcomes based on 26 studies involving 109 pediatric patients, highlighting the need for improved awareness and standardized reporting to enhance prevention and treatment. The findings indicate that while minimally invasive treatments often lead to recurrence, reconstructive techniques yield more durable results.
Is Pterygoid hamulus fracture a pre requisite for cleft palate surgery? - A Systematic review of surgical, otologic, and speech outcomes
Jun 10, 2026
This systematic review investigates whether the fracture of the pterygoid hamulus is necessary during palatoplasty for cleft palate repair and its effects on postoperative outcomes, including surgical success, hearing, and speech. The analysis of seven studies involving 543 patients found no significant differences in audiological, surgical, or speech outcomes between those who underwent hamulotomy and those who did not. The authors conclude that routine fracture of the pterygoid hamulus is not beneficial and should only be considered in select cases where tension-free closure is needed.
Length of maxillomandibular discrepancy may not predict tongue base airway obstruction severity among infants with Robin Sequence
Jun 10, 2026
The authors aimed to investigate the relationship between the severity of micrognathia, as measured by the frontal nasomental (FNM) angle, and the mandibular distraction distance needed to alleviate airway obstruction symptoms in neonates with isolated Robin Sequence (iRS). Their findings indicate that there is no significant correlation between the FNM angle and the required distraction distance, suggesting that the severity of micrognathia may not accurately reflect the degree of glossoptosis contributing to airway obstruction in these infants.
