Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The treatment of pediatric otorhinolaryngological disorders is progressively shifting towards minimally invasive surgery across various disciplines (airway surgery, ear surgery, and salivary glands surgery). This approach emphasizes a multidisciplinary treatment approach involving neonatologists, pediatricians, anesthesiologists, and pediatric surgeons, who all must work collaboratively to achieve a comprehensive diagnostic workup for young patients. Technological advancements, particularly in the realm of visualization tools like 4K endoscopy, 3D 4K exoscopy, and the novel image-guided surgery, have facilitated the transition from traditional invasive surgery to less invasive modalities for managing otorhinolaryngological conditions in children.

To further explore and enhance our understanding of these advancements, we invite authors to contribute to this Special Issue of the Journal of Clinical Medicine (PubMed indexed) with articles centered around various aspects of pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of otorhinolaryngological disorders in children. By gathering research and insights on these topics, the medical community can continue to improve and refine the care provided to young patients with otorhinolaryngological diseases.

Background: Pediatric odontogenic sinusitis (PODS) is a rare condition with limited research on its clinical features, diagnostic criteria, and treatment options. The current guidelines on pediatric rhinosinusitis do not mention a possible dental origin of the disease. This systematic review aims to summarize and analyze the existing literature on PODS, focusing on epidemiology, etiology, diagnostic tools, complications, treatment options, and outcomes. Methods: A systematic review was conducted following PRISMA reporting guidelines. Electronic searches were performed in multiple databases using keywords related to PODS and therapeutic strategies. Original articles reporting data on treatment outcomes for PODS were included. Results: The review highlighted the scarcity of high-quality evidence on PODS. The literature mainly consists of case reports and low-grade evidence studies. Limited data on the epidemiology, etiology, diagnostic tools, complications, and treatment outcomes of PODS in children are available. Conclusions: Further research is needed to better understand the clinical features, diagnosis, and treatment of PODS in pediatric patients. High-quality studies are required to establish evidence-based guidelines for the management of this condition, especially given the apparently high rate of complications when compared to adult ODS.

Juvenile recurrent parotitis (JRP) is characterised by recurrent episodes of painful parotid swelling in children. JRP is the second most common cause of parotitis in childhood, behind only paramyxovirus. The prevention of recurrent attacks represents the most dramatic and serious aspect of this pathology. Since 2004, different authors have evaluated sialendoscopy for the diagnostic and therapeutic management of JRP. In this paper, we share our clinical experience of the use of sialendoscopy for the treatment of JRP. We document with video sialendoscopy the glandular pathology in four children with a mean age of 11.5 years, who had suffered from 3–6 episodes/year of inflammation prior to treatment. The use of sialendoscopy in our patients was effective in preventing recurrences. For the first time, the videosialendoscopy of a series of children diagnosed with JRP is documented in the literature. Full article

This PRISMA-compliant systematic review aimed to investigate the use of and the most common procedures performed with the novel 3D 4K exoscope in surgical pediatric head and neck settings. Methods: Search criteria were applied to PubMed, EMBASE and the Cochrane Review databases and included all studies published up to January 2023 reporting 3D 4K exoscope-assisted surgeries in pediatric patients. After the removal of duplicates, selection of abstracts and full-text articles, and quality assessment, we reviewed eligible articles for number of patients treated, age, surgical procedures, and outcomes. Results: Among 54 potentially relevant records, 5 studies were considered eligible and included in this systematic review, with reported treatment data for 182 patients. The surgical procedures belong to the otologic field (121 cases), head and neck surgery (25 cases) and transoral surgery (36 cases). Exoscopy allowed high quality visualization of anatomical structures during cochlear implantation and during reconstruction in head and neck surgery; moreover, it improved the surgical view of surgeons, spectators and ENT students. Conclusions: The use of 3D 4K exoscopy has shown promising potential as a valuable tool in pediatric ORL-head and neck surgery; nevertheless, further validation of these encouraging outcomes is necessary through larger-scale studies specifically focused on pediatric patients.
