Over a 6-month period a record was kept of all patients presenting to the accident and emergency (A&E) department with nasal injuries. The results of the nasal radiographs were analysed to gauge their benefit. It was found that there was poor correlation between the radiological findings and the presence of external deformity, the latter determining the decision to carry out treatment. Routine radiographs of the nose are unnecessary in patients with nasal trauma.

The stoma following laryngectomy may be placed either within the incision or separately. To determine if this variation had a bearing on its ultimate size, measurements of the stoma size were carried out in 61 patients who underwent laryngectomy by one of these methods. It was found that the stoma was nearly twice the size in patients in whom the stoma had been sited within the main wound and that there was a minimal need for the use of a tube or stoma button post-operatively in these patients.
