Usefulness of endonasal flaps and grafts in skull base surgery. Consensus document.

Introduction: Skull base reconstruction is one of the greatest challenges extended endonasal endoscopic surgery. Many grafts and flaps from the endonasal fossa have been demonstrated to be useful in the control of complications such a cerebrospinal fluid leaks. Review and analysis of these resources are necessary in skull base recontruction to improve outcomes.

Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the training of otorhinolaryngology residents.

Background And Objectives: Training in surgical specialties has declined during the COVID-19 pandemic. A study was carried out to further analyze the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on specific aspects of clinical, training, and research activities performed by the otolaryngology residents in Spain.

Methods: A cross-sectional qualitative study was conducted during the last two weeks of February 2021.

Usefulness of endonasal mucoplasty in the surgical treatment of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps. Prospective study.

Chronic Rhinosinusitis with Nasal Polyps (CRScPN) is a disease with great impact on health. The surgical option using endoscopic nasosinus surgery is the therapeutic alternative when control of the disease is not achieved with medical treatment. Extensive endoscopic approaches are being postulated as a possible best surgical treatment option in certain phenotypes of CRScPN.

Strategies for the practice of otolaryngology and head and neck surgery during the monitoring phase of COVID-19.

The appearance of a new coronavirus disease called COVID-19 at the end of 2019 and its pandemic expansion in the world has changed the usual practice of the specialty of Otorhinolaryngology (ENT). After a phase of exponential growth of infections, it has been possible to enter a phase of control of the spread of the disease in which the possibility of infection persists, and the appearance of new cases is considered acceptable by the health system. The aim of this document is to review the available evidence and propose strategies and recommendations for the medical-surgical practice of otorhinolaryngology and head and neck surgery, which allow establishing the usual activity, adapting the safety and efficacy standards to the current situation.

Recommendations on the use of neuromonitoring in thyroid and parathyroid surgery.

Introduction: Thyroid and parathyroid surgery (TPTS) is associated with risk of injury to the recurrent laryngeal nerve, superior laryngeal nerve and voice changes. Intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM), intermittent or continuous, evaluates the functional state of the laryngeal nerves and is being increasingly used. This means that points of consensus on the most controversial aspects are necessary.

Evaluation of the training capacity of the Spanish Resident Book of Otolaryngology (FORMIR) as an electronic portfolio.

Background: and objectives We have evaluated the training capacity of the Spanish resident training book as an electronic portfolio to achieve the learning objectives of otorhinolaryngology (ENT) residents.

Methods: A multi-method qualitative investigation with transversal characteristics, temporal and retrospective guidance was performed on Spanish ENT residents using a structured questionnaire, a semi-structured interview, and a computer application on the FORMIR website.

Results: A 56.

An electronic portfolio for quantitative assessment of surgical skills in undergraduate medical education.

Background: We evaluated a newly designed electronic portfolio (e-Portfolio) that provided quantitative evaluation of surgical skills. Medical students at the University of Seville used the e-Portfolio on a voluntary basis for evaluation of their performance in undergraduate surgical subjects.

Methods: Our new web-based e-Portfolio was designed to evaluate surgical practical knowledge and skills targets.
