Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As we all know, our specialty—one of the oldest in the history of medicine—is rapidly growing, especially thanks to the fact that it comprises many organs and diseases. Giant steps have been taken forward in helping patients with hearing loss, from precise neonatal, or even intrauterine, diagnosis, to tremendous hearing results in ear or brain implantology. The endonasal approach for many tumors led to a resurgence in rhinology, as it involves less surgical mutilation, shorter postoperative hospitalization, and most importantly, greater overall survival for patients. Outcomes of immunotherapy treatment in patients with recurrent nasal polyposis are constantly evolving, and head and neck robotic surgery has given a new perspective for minimally invasive cancer management. As rhinoplasty surgeries provide many advantages, both physical and psychological, it is important to achieve improvements in different approaches and techniques. Esthetic surgery is not only important for adult patients, but also for children; for example, auricular reconstruction for microtia remains a challenging procedure.
We invite colleagues from around the world to report their clinical experiences, and contribute research articles, reviews, or case series comprising all otorhinolaryngologic diseases to this Special Issue. Together, the contributions to this Special Issue will provide valuable information on advances in otorhinolaryngologic diseases in multiple fields.
