This study aimed to determine the safety profile following gastrointestinal surgery across a multicentre setting in UK. Methods was carried out during 2-week interval September–October 2013. Consecutive adults undergoing elective or emergency resection were included. The powered detect 10 per cent increase major...
Optimal results in complex nasal reconstruction, particularly the context of post-traumatic and revision septorhinoplasty, often require use cartilage grafts to provide additional structural support nose. While autologous costal (ACC) has been traditionally used, this can be limited by donor site morbidity, increased operative time, some cases, lack suitable for grafting. There a trend towards using irradiated homologous (IHCC) as an alternative source graft material. We review our...
In response to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, otolaryngology departments across United Kingdom have adopted non-face-to-face clinics with consultations being carried out remotely, via telephone or video calls. By reducing footfall on hospital sites, aim of this strategy was limit direct contact and curb spread infection. This report outlines our experience conducting a triage clinic in assessment urgent suspected head neck cancer referrals during first wave COVID-19...

In a bid to end the ongoing coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, many countries, including UK, have rolled out mass immunisation programmes. While considered generally safe and effective, vaccines against been reported be associated with rare potentially adverse reactions side effects.This paper reports an unusual case of patient who developed unilateral vocal fold paralysis shortly after receiving first dose Oxford-AstraZeneca ChAdOx1 nCov-19 vaccine.To our knowledge, this is following...
Endoscopic frontal sinus surgery is frequently complicated by post-operative stenosis and obstruction of the outflow tract, resulting in recurrent disease. Frontal stents may help prevent re-occlusion neo-ostia.This paper presents a simple cost-effective approach to stenting using modified Silastic nasal splints.The current technique provides an effective, reliable inexpensive method for achieving tract patency.
Abstract Objective This study aimed to provide an objective means of identifying patterns in academic publication among ENT trainees during their higher surgical training. Method A cross-sectional survey was distributed trainees. Results total 153 specialty participated, giving a response rate 46.5 per cent. Across all years training, the mean number first author publications three and non-first two. For at trainee year 8 level, these figures were nine five, respectively. Participants with...

Parathyroid cysts are rare and can pose a diagnostic challenge. We describe two cases of patients who presented with cystic anterior neck masses underwent hemithyroidectomy for clinically radiologically presumed thyroid cysts. The final diagnosis was only established postoperatively on histological examination. A review the literature parathyroid discussion suggested management suspected included.
