We present in this video our innovative approach to mild to moderately sized perforations in the setting of chronic eustachian tube dysfunction with push through myringoplasty using tragal cartilage graft with primary T-tube. There was improvement in conductive hearing loss while allowing for stable middle ear ventilation with this technique.
Instrumentation: Operating microscope
Lateral Temporal Bone Resection
Contributors: Paul W. Gidley, MD
This video demonstrates the basic steps of lateral temporal bone resection for cancers involving the ear canal. The lateral temporal bone resection removes the ear canal en bloc, preserving the facial nerve and stapes.

Endoscopic Posterior Cricoid Split with Rib Grafting for Bilateral Vocal Fold Paralysis
Endoscopic posterior cricoid split with rib grafting can be used in children with bilateral vocal fold immobility due to bilateral vocal fold paralysis or cricoarytenoid joint fixation with posterior glottic stenosis. It is preferred to vocal cordotomy/arytenoidectomy because it is a non-destructive procedure with no impact on voice and swallowing. It is also preferred to open laryngotracheal reconstruction because it does not disrupt the anterior cricoid ring thereby preserving the “spring” of the cricoid.
