“…Rightfully, they questioned the utility of these findings to diagnose LPR given a low specificity and positive predictive value. There is also significant inter‐ and intra‐observer variability in diagnosis of LPR 14,15 . Thus, presence of laryngeal signs cannot be taken as evidence of LPR, and more significantly, an LPR label should not be rigidly applied on patients, especially when they do not respond to aggressive acid suppressive therapy.…”

“…The presence of exudates and secretions is common but does not occur in all clinical situations. In fact, not all of these signs and symptoms are present in all patients diagnosed with tonsillitis (Merati and Rieder 2003).…”

“…Because it represents one of the first sources of defense against microorganisms, it is a region potentially subject to infections and is one of the major immunocompetent tissues of the oropharynx. It is a part of Waldeyer's ring, which is also formed by the nasopharyngeal tonsil or adenoid (NT), the paired tubal tonsils (TT), the paired palatine tonsils (PT), and the lingual tonsil (LT) (Merati and Rieder 2003).…”

“…The obstructive tonsillar hypertrophy is the main indication for tonsillectomy, which is the surgical removal of the tonsils. The main signs and symptoms that may be observed in patients with tonsillar hypertrophy are sleep disturbances in a wide spectrum of severity, loud snoring, irregular breathing, coughing, night choking, interrupted sleep apnea, dysphagia, and excessive daytime sleepiness (Merati and Rieder 2003).…”

“…After initial visualization of vocal fold movements and laryngeal pathologies using mirrors inserted into the mouth and throat, indirect laryngoscopy for diagnostic examination in today's office‐based ear‐nose‐throat (ENT) and phoniatric clinical routine is performed via endoscopes . Different types of endoscopes are available: transorally applied rigid laryngoscopes and transnasally applied flexible nasopharyngoscopes .…”

Objective To develop a three‐dimensional (3D) laryngostroboscopic examination unit, compare the optic playback quality in relation to established 2D procedures, and report the first case series using 3D rigid laryngostroboscopy for diagnosis and management of laryngotracheal diseases. Study Design Laboratory study, prospective case series. Methods The optical efficacy of newly developed rigid 3D endoscopes was examined in a laboratory setting. Diagnostic suitability was investigated in 100 subjects (50 male, 50 female) receiving 2D high‐definition (HD) and 3D laryngostroboscopy. Two of the subjects subsequently underwent 3D‐assisted office‐based transoral phonosurgery under local anesthesia. Main outcome measures were comparative visualization of laryngotracheal pathologies, influence on preoperative planning, and evaluation of prognostic factors for the outcome of phonosurgical interventions. Results Three‐dimensional endostroboscopic procedures were effectively optimized to establish an examination protocol for all‐day clinical use. Office‐based 3D laryngostroboscopy was successfully applied in subjects with normal anatomy (n = 10) and various laryngotracheal findings (n = 90). In comparison to 2D HD videolaryngostroboscopy, the 3D view offered enhanced visualization of laryngotracheal anatomy, with qualitatively improved depth perception and spatial representation. In organic pathologies, this resulted in a more precise indication of phonosurgical procedures, increased accuracy in surgical planning, facilitated office‐based endoscopic surgery, and better evaluation of prognostic factors for the outcome of phonosurgical interventions. Conclusion Three‐dimensional laryngostroboscopy proved to increase the understanding of functional and surgical anatomy. Its application has enormous potential for improving the diagnostic value of laryngoscopy, surgical precision in laryngotracheal interventions, tissue preservation, and methods of teaching.
