Recurrent Laryngopyocele: CT-Guided Hookwire Localization for Re-Excision Surgery

Abstract

SUMMARY: Laryngopyocele recurrence after initial surgical resection is a very rare occurrence. We present a case of recurrent laryngopyocele in which CT fluoroscopyϪguided hookwire placement was used to facilitate resection. In this article, we illustrate the imaging findings of laryngopyocele, review the approach to management, and describe the CT fluoroscopyϪguided hookwire placement procedure.

Ultrasound‐guided hookwire localization of non palpable cervical lymphadenopathy: A case–control study of operative time

“…The use of ultrasound or CT‐guided hookwire in cervical surgery was recently reviewed 27,28 and several studies reported its use in resection of benign or malignant lesions 11,29–42 . There are only four reported cases of lateral cervical adenectomy using US‐guided hookwire localization 37–39 .…”

“…25,26 The use of ultrasound or CT-guided hookwire in cervical surgery was recently reviewed 27,28 and several studies reported its use in resection of benign or malignant lesions. 11,[29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42] There are only four reported cases of lateral cervical adenectomy using US-guided hookwire localization. [37][38][39] Park et al reported a series of eight cases of preoperative ultrasound-guided hookwire needle localization of nonpalpable cervical mass.…”
