Miniseminar: New Concepts in Pediatric Laryngology and Phonosurgery
Scientific Session—Sunday

Miniseminar: Innovations in Palatopharyngoplasty for Obstructive Sleep Apnea
B Tucker Woodson, MD (moderator); David J Terris, MD; Andrew N Goldberg, MD, MSCE; Michael Friedman, MD; Milwaukee WI; Augusta GA; San Francisco CA; Chicago IL The goal of this seminar is to focus on surgical innovations occurring in the field of sleep medicine. methods to reconstruct

Miniseminar: New Concepts in Pediatric Laryngology and Phonosurgery
Joseph E Kerschner, MD (moderator); Christopher J Hartnick, MD; Robert T Sataloff, MD; Albert L Merati, MD Milwaukee WI; Newton MA; Philadelphia PA; Milwaukee WI Pediatric laryngology has undergone many recent developments. Improved assessment tools, instrumentation and expansion of treatment modalities from adult populations to pediatric populations have greatly enhanced the diagnostic abilities and possibilities

Miniseminar: Surgery of the Frontal Sinus: The State of the Art
Timothy L Smith, MD MPH (moderator); Brent Anthony Senior, MD; James A Stankiewicz, MD; Peter John Wormald, MD, FRACS, FRCS Milwaukee WI; Chapel Hill NC; Maywood IL; Woodville Australia The frontal sinus remains the most challenging sinus to treat surgically and the surgical management of frontal sinus disease continues to evolve. This panel will examine, in a practical way, the decision making process in the treatment of frontal sinus disease. The complex anatomy of the frontal recess/sinus will be evaluated with endoscopic and radiographic correlation. Surgical approaches will be discussed with an emphasis on a logical progression in surgical management in a variety of cases. While there is no single
the upper pharyngeal and retropalatal airway segment continue to change. A variety of palatopharyngoplasty techniques have been described to treat obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. Little objective data is available to guide the surgeon in selection of techniques in a given patient. This symposium will cover the application of evolving palatopharyngoplasty techniques. Presenters will briefly describe techniques including uvulopalatopharyngoplasty, laser-assisted pharyngoplasty, z-plasty pharyngoplasty, and palatal advancement pharyngoplasty. Adjunctive use of radiofrequency and pharyngeal implants will be discussed. Patient evaluation, treatment selection, and outcomes will be presented to the panel in a cased based format. Strengths and deficiencies of evidence for procedures will also be discussed.
for intervention for children. Controversies exist regarding the ideal assessment and management of a number of common pediatric laryngeal abnormalities. An expert panel has been assembled and will critically review, in an interactive format, recent literature and their experiences with: The assessment tools of ● pediatric videostroboscopy ● pediatric voice analysis ● pediatric specific voice quality of life instruments. In addition, the panel will review use of these tools and their management of patients with pediatric voice disorders, including phonosurgery, in ● vocal fold paralysis ● vocal fold cysts ● vocal fold nodules ● laryngeal papillomatosis. The moderator will provide additional points of interest regarding these topics and audience participation will be encouraged through an interactive format. We plan a pre- and post-presentation audience survey to assess the program’s educational impact.
surgical approach that will lead to successful resolution of disease and symptoms in all cases, many options will be considered. These options generally attempt to restore drainage and ventilation to the sinus or to obliterate the sinus. When chronic frontal sinusitis fails to respond to maximum medical management, surgical treatment should proceed in a logical progression from simple to more radical procedures. Advanced imaging techniques that offer critical information in this area of highly variable and complex anatomy will be discussed. A common question asked is “how much surgery is enough surgery” and the panel will specifically address this issue with case illustration and review of the pertinent literature. When less invasive procedures have failed to resolve disease, other options will be discussed including the modified Lothrop procedure and osteoplastic flap with obliteration. Case examples, panel discussion, and audience questions will enable the panel to highlight critical points. Each of the members of this panel has an active rhinology practice and has contributed to the literature regarding frontal sinus disease and surgery.
