More about this episode

Dr. Fritts shares how BackTable started as an app concept for medical devices in 2016, evolved into the IR podcast in 2017, and expanded to the ENT show in 2020. He explains how Gopi coined the name “BackTable” as an homage to the informal, behind-the-scenes conversations that fuel clinical learning. With eight shows now producing 30 to 40 episodes each month, BackTable will begin releasing most new podcast episodes exclusively on the BackTable app starting in October.

The conversation highlights the app’s robust features designed for busy clinicians, including physician-only NPI-verified guest Q&As, quick-study cases, searchable and organized playlists, episode transcripts, offline listening, upcoming CarPlay integration, and access to resources like the Curbsiders internal medicine podcast. The BackTable app is free to download and free to use, providing easy access to a growing library of high-yield medical education content.

Most surgeons trained learning extracapsular tonsillectomies. What does the evidence say about intracapsular tonsillectomies? Two pediatric otolaryngologists explain why they made the switch and never looked back. On this episode of the BackTable ENT Podcast, hosts Dr. Ashley Agan and Dr. Gopi Shah sit down with pediatric otolaryngologists Dr. Stephen Chorney from UT Southwestern and Children's Health Dallas and Dr. Kevin Huoh from Children's of Orange County to examine post-operative complications after tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy, with a focus on coblation intracapsular tonsillectomy.

More about this episode

Dr. Chorney and Dr. Huoh share why they each committed fully to the intracapsular technique and what that shift has meant in practice, from secondary hemorrhage rates hovering around 0.5–0.6% to fewer nursing line calls, readmissions for pain and dehydration, and faster returns to school and normal activity. They walk through their approach to patient risk stratification and admission criteria (age <3, severe OSA/comorbidities, AHI >30/ICU consideration) as well as how to manage the most common post-operative respiratory complications. The conversation also covers practical guidance for handling outside-ER bleed calls, the role of nebulized TXA, toradol considerations, and managing dehydration. They also share for navigating intracapsular coblation in older children, strategies to reduce burn injuries, and a closer look at the rare but serious risk of pharyngeal stenosis.

Check out this episode to hear Dr. Chorney and Dr. Huoh discuss how intracapsular tonsillectomy doesn't just improve outcomes but can transform the recovery experience for patients and their families.

Is nasal obstruction the overlooked culprit behind CPAP intolerance? On this episode of BackTable ENT & Allergy, Dr. Gopi Shah interviews Dr. Atul Malhotra and Dr. Michael Hutz to examine the critical but often underappreciated role of the nose in obstructive sleep apnea management. They discuss how nasal obstruction can undermine CPAP adherence, why relying solely on AHI may miss key issues, and how identifying the true cause of intolerance can lead to more personalized and effective therapy.

For years, an indeterminate thyroid biopsy meant diagnostic surgery but molecular testing is now changing that reality entirely. On this episode of the BackTable ENT podcast, Dr. Ashley Agan interviews endocrinologist Dr. Erik Alexander about how molecular testing and a systematic, layered approach to thyroid nodule evaluation are reducing diagnostic surgeries and enabling more individualized patient care.

More about this episode

Together they walk through the full evaluation pathway, including ultrasound risk stratification using the TI-RADS criteria, the role of TSH testing, and how FNA indications have shifted from biopsying every solid nodule to a more selective, risk-adapted approach. The discussion covers the Bethesda classification system and addresses why the one-third of patients landing in indeterminate categories (Bethesda III, IV, and V) have historically been the most challenging and most overtreated group. The conversation then explores molecular diagnostics as an additional layer of risk assessment, highlighting key differences between DNA-based mutation panels and RNA-based expression classifiers. Dr. Alexander also discusses practical considerations like insurance coverage, sampling technique, turnaround time, and the future potential of molecular testing to move beyond diagnosis toward individualized prognosis.
