ABSTRACT

We selected once more from about 15000 abstracts published in 2011 a couple of papers focused on general practice. Regarding the ear, we will discuss the role of nasal corticoids in Eustachian tube dysfunction, the treatment of vestibular neuronitis, the role of the bone-anchored hearing aid, or the vestibular implant. Regarding the nose, the influence of tobacco on sinus surgery, the treatment of staphylococcus cases, and the role of neuronavigation. Regarding the throat, head and neck region, our focus was on potential new treatments of the future that might change our approach, and on the correlations between food and cancer.
