Innovations include boothless audiometry and interdisciplinary collaborations to address unique military hearing challenges.
Rewriting the Rules of Rhinosinusitis
The 2025 American Academy of Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery Foundation (AAO-HNSF) guidelines update the medical and surgical management of adult rhinosinusitis, emphasizing an inflammatory understanding of chronic sinusitis and advocating for evidence-based, individualized treatment approaches.
Growing Use of Tranexamic Acid in Otolaryngology
TXA is increasingly used in otolaryngology to reduce intra-operative and post-operative bleeding, supported by evidence from emergency medicine and orthopedic surgery. Its safety profile is strong, and it is administered intravenously or orally, with emerging use in pediatric and adult otolaryngologic procedures.
Statistical Fragility of Steroid–Antiviral Therapy for Bell’s Palsy: A Systematic Review of RCTs
Evidence supporting the addition of antivirals to corticosteroids in Bell’s palsy is statistically fragile. Across randomized controlled trials (RCTs), only a few patient outcome reversals would nullify reported significance, suggesting current conclusions about combination therapy lack robustness.
Radiotherapy for Growing Vestibular Schwannomas
Radiotherapy achieved durable tumor control in most growing vestibular schwannomas, with outcomes unaffected by pre-treatment tumor size or location.
Pre-Operative Imaging in Patients with 22qDS Undergoing VPD Surgery
Nearly half of children with 22qDS exhibited ICA medialization on imaging, with one in five needing a change in the surgical plan. Despite many authors advocating for routine imaging, its universal use is uncertain due to high study heterogeneity and limited outcome data.
Resident Pearls: Pediatric Otolaryngologists Share Tips for Safer, Smarter Tonsillectomies
Tonsillectomy is a common yet potentially risky pediatric surgery, often performed early in otolaryngology training. Global pediatric ENT surgeons shared practical advice to help residents perform safer, smarter tonsillectomies, emphasizing safety, patient selection, innovation, and teamwork.
