One year on: assessing the impact of coronavirus disease 2019 on demand for semi-urgent ENT services.

Objective: This study investigated how the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic has impacted on presentations to ENT first-on-call services.

Methods: All appointments to a rapid access triage clinic from 1 June to 31 August in 2019 and 2020 were reviewed retrospectively and their reasons for consultation classified. A binomial proportion test was used to determine whether the proportions of consultations per presentation differed significantly between years.

One Anastomosis Gastric Bypass in Patients with Gastrooesophageal Reflux Disease and/or Hiatus Hernia.

Introduction: One anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) offers favourable weight loss outcomes and is associated with reduced morbidity and mortality when compared to other mainstream bariatric procedures. However, a randomised trial reported a conversion rate to roux-en-Y configuration (RYC) of 3.1%, and some surgeons consider the procedure unsuitable for patients with a preoperative hiatus hernia (HH) or symptoms of gastrooesophageal reflux disease (GORD).
