Otolaryngologists and audiologists from the U. of Louisville detail the most common surgical procedures performed by pediatric otolaryngologists. They include those in the areas of otology, including tympanostomy tube placement, cochlear implantation, and chronic otitis media; congenital conditions like cleft lip and palate repair, neck masses, and midline nasal masses; sinonasal surgery for chronic rhinosinusitis; tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy; and surgery of the upper aerodigestive tract, including tracheotomy, deep neck infections, and oncologic surgery. Also incorporated are new procedures like balloon sinusplasty and airway management. Each discussion includes evidence-based information on the procedure, a step-by-step description with intraoperative drawings and photos, and the benefits and pitfalls, as well as brief information on alternatives to surgery.
