Advancing Head and Neck Surgeryby Tailoring Care to Each Patient

This year, the Head and Neck surgeonshave adopted and expanded several newtherapies and techniques, some of whichare included here.

Notable new techniquesBrachytherapy: “We are now usingbrachytherapy more and more,” says Dr. David Kutler, Associate Professor ofOtolaryngology. “It’s another way we cantailor care to the individual, especially forthose that cannot tolerate radiation or inpatients who have already had externalbeam radiation therapy.”

Transoral endoscopic thyroidectomyvestibular approach: This year, Dr. Banuchi performed a transoralendoscopic hemithyroidectomy through a vestibular approach to treat a four-centimeter thyroid nodule causingcompressive symptoms, becoming thethird head and neck surgeon in thecountry to have performed this scarlessapproach. “It went great,” she asserts. “It really works; the visualization is remarkable and the patient wasthrilled. I am going to do more of theseprocedures in the near future.”

“This scarless thyroid surgery isincredibly new,” explains Dr. Kutler.“We’re proud to be one of the few centersoffering this technique in the country.”

Lymphoscintigraphy: Dr. William Kuhel,Professor of Otolaryngology, has beenusing lymphoscintigraphy more often to evaluate for possible metastatic disease in the neck over the past year. “We havebeen doing this for five years now,”explains Dr. Kuhel, “and increasingly overthe past year. It can play a pivotal role inearly-stage oral cancer evaluation foreither biopsy or dissection.”

Robotics: Dr. Andrew Tassler, AssistantProfessor of Otolaryngology, asserts thatWeill Cornell Medicine is at the forefrontof robotics for primary surgical treatmentof head and neck cancer. He is leading aclinical trial for treatment HPV-relatedtumors with less aggressive radiation androbotic surgery.

In addition to advancing new techniques,the team is expanding multidisciplinaryties and ancillary resources to betterserve cancer patients. The team’snotable research pursuits include roboticsurgery for HPV tumor treatment (Dr.Tassler), parathyroid preservation (Drs. Kuhel and Kutler), the relationshipbetween Fanconi anemia and head and neck cancers (Dr. Kutler), and theevaluation of the genetic changesinvolved in oral carcinogenesis (Dr.Kutler).

As a team, we are proud to offer excellent, evidence-based care to our patients,” Dr. Victoria Banuchi,Assistant Professor of Otolaryngology, explains. “In addition, we are dedicated to adopting the latesttechniques and approaches and use them whenappropriate with the goal of improved outcomes anddecreased morbidity.”

New Focuses for Otology and Neurotology Expanding and refining individualized care

Cochlear Implant CentergrowthThe Cochlear Implant Center is led byDr. George Alexiades, Associate Professorof Clinical Otolaryngology, who joinedWeill Cornell Medicine three years ago.Under Dr. Alexiades’ leadership, theCenter—r—r an established leader in cochlearimplantation—is now expanding its reachthrough three strategies: internal referrals,expanding unilateral implant offfff erings, andidentifyfyf ing children in the area with hearingneeds at a younger age.

“We’re growing,” explains Dr. Alexiades.“We now have fofof ur surgeons and fiveaudiologists. I’m very happy that we’re stillmaintaining our ‘boutique’ feel as we growthe stafffff and number of patients.”

The Center continues a history of successwith challenging cases. This year, the teamsaw an infant without a cochlear nervrvr e onthe right ear and a small or absent nervrvr eon the leftftf . They placed a cochlear implantin the leftftf ear and he is now respondingwell to environmental sounds. “Even invery challenging situations,” Dr. Alexiadessays, “cochlear implants can providebenefit.”

Investigating the long-term effects of skull base surgery Dr. Samuel Selesnick, Department ViceChairman, Professor of Otolaryngology,and Professor of Otolaryngology inNeurological Surgery, specializes in thecare of patients with ear and skull basediseases. Acoustic neuromas, also knownas vestibular schwannomas, are the mostcommon skull base tumor of the temporalbones.

According to Dr. Selesnick, “YeYeY arsago everyone who had an acousticneuroma, regardless of the size andassociated symptoms, were advised toundergo surgery. That is certainly nolonger the case. There is a real fofof cus onquality of life.”

Depending on seven difffff erent parameters,a patient may be advised to adopt a “waitand see” approach, radiosurgery, or skullbase microsurgery. “These decisions arebased on a number of important factorsand must be tailored to each individual,”he explains. At present, Dr. Selesnick’sresearch team is fofof cused on questionspertaining to the long-term function andtumor recurrence fofof llowing a variety ofsurgical treatments, including near-totalresections.

When it comes to surgical treatment fofof racoustic neuroma, Dr. Selesnick says,“The central question used to be: ‘Whatcan we do to help this patient?’ Now thequestion is: ‘What should we do to betterthe patient’s quality of life?’”

By fofof cusing on how our specialties canindividualize technical and surgicalcapabilities—as well as collecting andanalyzing long-term outcomes—our teamis promoting an unprecedented level ofpersonalized care.

Innovating Audiological Care with Telemedicine Creating and expanding a new program for audiology patients Audiology specialists at Weill CornellMedicine—including Dr. Joseph Montano,Professor of Audiology in ClinicalOtolaryngology—are spearheading aunique program to provide remote supportfor hearing aids and amplification devicesthat will make audiology services moreaccessible to individuals with hearing loss.

Drawing on the successes of Weill CornellMedicine/NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital’sEmergency Department’s telemedicineprogram, Dr. Montano has been workingwith industry innovators to modify andprogram hearing aids and amplificationdevices through telecommunicationapplications.

Comprehensive, remoteevaluationsDr. Montano and the Department arealready seeing many benefits oftelemedicine in their program. Atelemedicine visit offers convenient access for patients and more clinical timefor health providers, which increasespatient satisfaction. Currently, throughWCM OnDemand Second Opinion—anonline second opinion service, patients can request and receive expert advice from our ENT physicians.

There are other benefits, however, that areunique to audiology.

The visual conference session allows face-to-face communication, so patientsreceive visual and audio cuessimultaneously. Also, long-distance support for patients with hearing aids canbe provided when they are located in anenvironment that is troublesome to them. It also reduces travel time and relatedstress for patients—many of whom havemobility issues.

Dr. Montano explains, “via liveprogramming, patients can contact us, and we can program the hearing aids when they are in that specific location.” For example, audiologists can troubleshoot problems for children inschool—during the school day. Theprogram could play an essential role forchildren with hearing loss.

Forging a new offering inaudiological care“Our goal is to expand teleaudiology and to monitor electrodes during cochlearimplant surgery,” continues Dr. Montano.“Those with cochlear implants can receivetheir follow-up consultations remotely. In addition, we hope to use it for remotespeech and voice therapy.”

“I’d rather be a trend shaper than afollower,” says Dr. Montano, recognizingthat this initiative comes with manychallenges. “Distance support of hearingaids is relatively new, and ourteleaudiology program puts theDepartment at the forefront of remoteaudiological care.”

Our goal is to expandteleaudiology and tomonitor electrodes duringcochlear implant surgery.

Maturing AcademicLaryngology Improving patient care through ongoing research The Sean Parker Institute for the Voice was designed to deliver top-notch patientcare and education about voice, airway,and swallowing disorders, and at the sametime clarify and demystify the basis of suchcare. The Institute moved into its newhome in November 2016, which allows forphysicians and staff to work cohesively insupport of each patient.

The Institute treats all types oflaryngological conditions, includingswallowing and breathing disorders, andcancer-related issues. “By bringingtogether everyone under the same roof—voice pathologists and laryngologists—wecan streamline clinical care. And as wetake care of patients, we challenge eachother to think more critically about what wedo,” explains Dr. Lucian Sulica, the SeanParker Professor of Otolaryngology andone of the country’s senior fellowship-trained laryngologists. “Because all we dois laryngology, we can have an ongoing,critical evaluation of how we handle caseswhich results in continuous improvementsin patient care. We now also have theability to standardize protocols forinvestigation and research.”

Commitment to clinicalresearchNotable current initiatives includecomparing outcomes of in-officeprocedures with those done under generalanesthesia, examining means of improvingcough strength to manage aspiration,evaluating risks of steroid treatment foracute hoarseness in performers, andassessing outcomes of microsurgery forsulcus vocalis, a type of vocal fold injury.

These investigations, like many precedingones, are not abstract. They all serve toinform clinical decision making, andprevent patients from making choicesdriven by fear or misinformation. Theoverall goal, says Dr. Sulica, is to makelaryngological care everywhere more

“sane and evidence based.” He emphasizesthat patients appreciate clear, data-driveninformation and recommendations whenweighing treatment options. For example,vocal fold hemorrhage has a reputationamong performers as a grave threat totheir voice. “In evaluating our ownoutcomes, we have learned that this issimply not the case,” Dr. Sulica explains.“Our past work indicates that the risk oflong-term voice damage is very low.”

Emphasis on subspecializationand trainingAs the Institute has expanded,subspecialized laryngologists have beenbrought onto the team to complement Dr. Sulica’s expertise in the care of theperforming voice and neurologic diseasesof the larynx. Dr. Babak Sadoughi,Assistant Professor of Otolaryngology, hasextensive experience in conservationlaryngeal surgery, including reconstructionand rehabilitation after treatment forlaryngeal cancer, and Dr. Anaïs Rameau,Assistant Professor of Otolaryngology,specializes in dysphagia and swallowingdisorders.

“I am pleased,” says Dr. Sulica, “thatlaryngology has matured to this point thatwe have multiple areas of expertise. I knowthat the Institute and our patients benefitfrom having a brain dedicated to each andevery one of these disorders.”

To complement its patient care mission, the Institute is also preparing to matriculateits first class of fellows in laryngology,including the first Sean Parker Fellow inLaryngology, Dr. Keith Chadwick. Dr.Chadwick will follow a two year course ofstudy, which is unique in the field, andcombines clinical training with a Master’sdegree in Clinical & TranslationalResearch. “We are creating investigativeexpertise for the next generation,”enthuses Dr. Sulica.

Endoscopic repair of a Type-3b Laryngeal Cleft Dr. Vikash Modi, Chief of PediatricOtolaryngology and Associate Professorof Otolaryngology, and Dr. Alison Maresh,Assistant Professor of Otolaryngology,endoscopically repaired a TyTyT pe-3bposterior laryngeal cleftftf on a three-month-old infant. It was the firstsurgery of its kind to be doneendoscopically in the region. Now twoyears old, the patient is meeting all ofher developmental milestones.She hasan excellent voice and is taking a fulldiet entirely by mouth.

The fofof ur-hour surgery was done entirelyunder spontaneous ventilation. It involvedtrimming of redundant tissue at thelaryngeal cleftftf edges fofof llowed byendoscopic placement of 10 interruptedsutures. “The outcome doesn’t get muchbetter than this,” asserts Dr. Modi. “Withfine microlaryngoscopy instrumentationand working closely with excellentpediatric anesthesiologists, we are able toendoscopically treat complex airwrwr aypathology. Our multidisciplinary care teamensured she had the post-operative careshe needed to fully recover. She is nowsinging her ABC’s and chasing her olderbrother around. No one would know thatshe ever had an issue.”

Formalized tracheostomy carefor parents and families Under the guidance of Dr. Alison Maresh,the Pediatric ENT Division hasstandardized the process fofof r trainingparents and families to care fofof r their infantsand children with a tracheostomy whorequire advanced care at home. Theprogram helps parents and families feelmore comfofof rtable and knowledgeableabout home care, reduces the transitiontime to home, and increases the possibilityof long-term independence.

“We have one of the only fofof rmal,standardized programs fofof r this educationin New YoYoY rk,” says Dr. Maresh. “Weeducate families about tracheostomies andinstruct them on care techniques duringpractice sessions with mannequins so theyfeel more comfofof rtable with their child’smedical needs. We then pair them withanother family with a child with a similar

condition so that they have additional,long-term support.”

Comprehensive VascularAnomalies Center The Division of Pediatric Otolaryngologygrew this year with the addition ofDr. Steven D. Rosenblatt, AssistantProfessor of Otolaryngology. Dr.Rosenblatt helped create a newcomprehensive vascular anomalies teamwhich provides multidisciplinary, cutting-edge treatment fofof r children.

“Caring fofof r children with vascularanomalies of the head and neckrequires a multidisciplinary, coordinatedapproach,” explains Dr. Rosenblatt.“By creating this team, we can streamlinepatient care and provide comprehensiveand innovative treatment in the best waypossible; we can provide a team approachright away.”

The Center fofof r the Perfrfr ofof rming Artist hasestablished itself as invaluable fofof rperfrfr ofof rming artists in New YoYoY rk City, servrvr ingwell over 1,000 unique patients—includingvocalists, musicians, and dancers—since2008. Patients range from professionals atthe Metropolitan Opera to first-yearstudents at partner schools, such asJuilliard, Manhattan School of Music, andMarymount Manhattan College.

Physicians come to the Center with apassion fofof r the arts and an interest in theparticular medical needs of perfrfr ofof rmingartists. Nancy Amigron, Program Managerat the Center, calls this fofof cus “Perfrfr ofof rmingArts Medicine.”

Nancy explains, “The Center isadministratively based in theOtolaryngology Department and, ofcourse, refers many patients fofof r specificOtolaryngology issues. However, theCenter also refers to specialists acrossWeill Cornell Medicine/NewYoYoY rk-Presbyterian Medical Center and fofof r thespectrum of perfrfr ofof rming artist issues.”

Decatastrophizing voiceconditions with researchDr. Lucian Sulica, Sean Parker Professorof Laryngology and Director of the SeanParker Institute fofof r the VoVoV ice, uses thedata in presentations to the perfrfr ofof rmingarts community in an attempt todecatastrophize vocal injuries. Heencourages patients to rejeje ect stigmasand take stock of the facts indicating thatan injury does not have to be the end ofone’s career.

He envisions Perfrfr ofof rming Arts Medicinebecoming more like Sports Medicine,where patients understand there areoptions to treat injuries successfully.Continued data collection, research, andeducation of target audiences are key toachieving this goal.

This year, Dr. Lucian Sulica’s outreachincorporated World VoVoV ice Day, offfff ering freestroboscopy tests and vocal screenings fofof rperfrfr ofof rmers at The Sean Parker Institute ofthe VoVoV ice. The Center of the Perfrfr ofof rmingArtist has also arranged fofof r otherscreenings such as hearing screenings,allergy screenings and oral cancerscreenings, to servrvr e both the perfrfr ofof rmingartist and the general community.

Treating and teaching morethan ever before Over the past year, the Center hasexpanded its outreach to more dancersand perfrfr ofof rmance groups throughout thecity. Dr. Joseph Montano, Professor ofAudiology in Clinical Otolaryngology, isalso expanding outreach to spreadawareness about hearing loss to not onlymusicians and perfrfr ofof rmers, but also thosewho work at music venues and to thosewho attend.

“We are currently working to spread theword, hoping to advocate that venuesmake hearing protection available to allemployees and to those attending theconcerts or shows,” explains Dr. Montano.

Certainly, the Center’s many achievementsare fueled by equal parts clinical expertiseand passion.

Parker Institute Laryngologist Anaïs Rameau’s Project wins First Prize in Health InnovationHackathon

The Health Innovation Hackathon is asprint-like event where interdisciplinaryteams come together to create solutionsto benefit health. This year, ninechallenge proposals were chosen for theHackathon, one of which was fromInstitute laryngologist Anaïs Rameau,MD, MPhil. Dr. Rameau’s challenge wasto design an EMG-based wearabledevice for silent communication usingcellphones for patients with no larynx (or voice box). Her team, MyophonX,worked on the challenge utilizing new and emerging technology offered by theClinical Science & Translational Center at Weill Cornell Medicine.

Working with a gracious laryngectomypatient, the team was able to betterunderstand the needs of the patient and develop a custom tailored device.

With innovative 3-D scanning of thepatient’s anatomy, the team created a 3-D printed mask for the patient. Byapplying machine learning to the face and neck muscles signals (EMG) theywere able to use their new device todifferentiate patient-specific silent speech.

MyophonX won the Grand Prize at thisyear’s hackathon, providing them withgrant funds to continue working on theirproject. The team will use their awardfunds to refine their product and make itavailable for patients.

The 2nd Annual Health Innovation Hackathon concludedon Friday, June 1st, when selected teams presented theirfindings to a panel of judges at the Final Showcase.

New Fellowship Programs

NeuroRhinology and Advanced Sinus Surgery Weill Cornell and Columbia have created a new Fellowship Program in NeuroRhinologyand Advanced Sinus Surgery. Fellows work with Fellowship-trained subspecialty faculty atboth Departments, benefitting from working with highly diverse patient populations anddiseases presenting at both locations. “Our Fellows,” explains Dr. Michael Stewart,Professor and Chairman of the Department of Otolaryngology – Head & Neck Surgery,“will be able to take advantage of the absolute best at both institutions. In addition tolearning techniques from a variety of teachers, they can focus or customize their trainingon skull base surgery, advanced sinus surgery, or other aspects of advanced rhinology –given the breadth of clinical material available.”

LaryngologyThere are two new Laryngology Fellowship Positions. One is a joint LaryngologyFellowship with Columbia University’s Otolaryngology Department, which is one year induration. Fellows will learn from four Fellowship trained Laryngologists with differentpractice focus and expertise, and they will take advantage of the large volume of casesseen at both institutions.

The other new fellowship is offered by the Sean Parker Institute for the Voice at WeillCornell Medicine, and it will be a two-year fellowship with research training thatincorporates a strong focus on clinical and translational research. “Clinical work isperformed half-time throughout the two years,” explains Dr. Lucian Sulica, Sean ParkerProfessor of Laryngology and the Director of the Sean Parker Institute for the Voice. “The other time is spent earning a master’s degree in clinical and translational research,including the research required for the thesis.” As for all the fellowship programs at theDepartment, the long-term goals are to improve the academic output through researchand to produce a cadre of individuals that will increase the rigor of the field. Dr. Sulicaexplains, “It will be deeply satisfying to me if we can produce a group of clinicians who arealso committed to investigation.”

The Department expands further with the addition of three new fellowship programs; two are jointfellowships in collaboration with Columbia University’sDepartment of Otolaryngology – Head & Neck Surgery,with the support of NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital.
