Objective: Endoscopic sinus and skull base surgery has led to significant improvements in patient outcomes, yet may have come at a cost to surgeons' musculoskeletal (MSK) health. We aimed to determine the prevalence and characteristics of work-related MSK disorders (WRMDs) in endoscopic sinus and skull base surgeons; to investigate contributing factors for WRMD in this population; and to evaluate the effectiveness of ergonomic interventions on the severity or prevalence of WRMD in this population.
Data Sources: Medline, Embase, CINAHL, Web of Science, and Scopus from inception to April 2, 2024.
Background: A considerable volume of possible applications of artificial intelligence (AI) in the field of rhinology exists, and research in the area is rapidly evolving.
Objective: This scoping review aims to provide a brief overview of all current literature on AI in the field of rhinology. Further, it aims to highlight gaps in the literature for future rhinology researchers.
Background: Nasal endoscopy is increasingly accessible to ENT surgeons. The characteristics of the allergic upper airway are not well recognised.
Methodology: MEDLINE (1946-2021), EMBASE (1974-2021), and the Cochrane Library were searched on 16th November 2021 to identify articles that reported endoscopic findings of patients with documented allergy who had undergone nasal endoscopy.
