This article is an update of anaesthesia for common paediatric ear, nose and throat (ENT) procedures. ENT pathology is the most common indication for surgery in children. An increasing proportion are performed as day cases, even in the presence of comorbidities such as obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA), so judicious selection of suitable children remains important. Considerations include severity of disease, known difficult airway, complex comorbidities, and the surgical centre.

Two-dimensional (2D) endoscopy has been widely adopted in otolaryngology surgery, but this technology is limited by the loss of stereoscopic vision, resulting in inferior representation of anatomy. Three-dimensional (3D) endoscopes have been introduced to allow depth perception, the improved visuospatial orientation would theoretically permit better surgical experience and outcomes.

Objective In rare situations, neonates may present with respiratory distress and neck swelling from a piriform fossa sinus tract (PFST) lesion. Open surgical excision of PFST may be associated with higher complication rates, especially in neonates. Endoscopic treatment has been shown to have high success rates in older children, but neonatal outcomes appear to be less promising. The objective of this study was to review the existing literature on endoscopic treatment of PFST in neonates.
