The aticle briefly introduced the working principle and clinical applicability of Coblation. The application of Coblation promoted the improvement of traditional surgery and the generation of new operation, it is the most important to hold the indication of the operation strictly. This review summarized that and discussed the advantages and the notes of Coblation in operations of the pharynx and larynx.

Congenital laryngeal cleft is a rare airway malformation, mainly manifested as choking, feeding difficulties, which affects the growth and development of children. Patients with a severe laryngeal cleft may have recurrent aspiration, leading to cyanotic spells, or even death. Advances in development of endoscopic techniques have made early diagnosis possible. Depending on the degree of cleft, management may involve a variety of approaches ranging from medical management alone to open repair. Therefore, it is important for pediatric ENT doctors to diagnose and evaluate in clinical practice. This consensus statement, developed by the Pediatric otorhinolaryngology Professional Committee of the Pediatrician Branch of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association, provides comprehensive recommendations and standardized guidance on diagnosis and management of laryngeal cleft, based on symptomatology, physical examinations, and laboratory tests.

Objective: Our aim of this study is to describe the outcomes of a series of patients who underwent cleft repair and posterior cartilage grafts laryngotracheoplasty (LTP) from anterior midline cervical approach for type Ⅲ laryngotracheoesophageal clefts (LETC). Methods: A review of patients with type Ⅲ LETC between May 2017 and December 2021 was performed. Demographic features including gender, age at surgery, weight, airway support, feeding status, and airway and other comorbidities were collected preoperatively. Patients were evaluated in breathing, swallowing and phonation postoperatively. The developmental status and morbidities were recorded. Results: Five patients who underwent cleft repair and posterior cartilage grafts LTP from anterior midline cervical approach were included. All patients survived and thrived postoperatively. At last follow-up, 3 patients were able to successfully extubate with acceptable voice, and 2 patients were tracheostomied. Four patients were able to be fed orally without aspiration, and one patient needed to be fed by thick food. Conclusion: The combination of cleft repair and posterior cartilage grafts LTP from anterior midline cervical approach is an effective and safe treatment for type Ⅲ LETC.

OBJECTIVE: To study the effectiveness of preserving laryngeal function for senile hypopharyngeal cancer patientsolder than 65. METHOD: The clinical data of 58 surgery cases of senile hypopharyngeal cancer patients more than 65 years old were colleted and analyzed. Thirty-one cases preserved the laryngeal function, while the rest did not. Perfect preoperative preparation was done before surgery. Surgical resection specimens were sent to frozen-section examination. When the negative incisal margin was confirmed, the defect was repaired by the appilication of local stitching, ribbon muscle flap, major myocutaneous flaps, split thickness skin and replacement of esophagus by stomach. Radical radiotherapy was used after surgery. Survival rate was calculated by the Kaplan-Meier method. Chi-square test was used to compare complications of the two groups. RESULT: The 3 years and 5 years survival rate for all cases were 48.3% (28/58) and 27.6% (16/58), respectively. For patients with laryngeal function preservation, the 3 years and 5 years survival rate were 51.6% (16/31), 29.0% (9/31), respectively. For cases without laryngeal function preservation, the 3 years survival rate and 5 years survival rate were 44.4% (12/ 27), 25.9% (7/27), respectively. The result showed no obvious difference in survival rate between two groups (P > 0.05). Surgery complication rate were 45.2% (14/31) and 40.7% (11/27), without obvious differences between the two groups (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION It is feasible for senile hypopharyngeal cancer patients to choose suitable operation based on their physical conditions and the tumor extension. The key issues include well perioperative treatment management, correct indications grasp, and intraoperative repair skills improvement.
