Perspectives on the Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Research: A Cross-Sectional Survey of Pediatric Otolaryngologists.

Objective: To investigate the perspectives of pediatric otolaryngologists on the impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on their research.

Methods: Two surveys were sent to members of the American Society of Pediatric Otolaryngology (ASPO) in 2019 and 2021 to assess research perspectives before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. The surveys contained questions about research engagement, barriers, time allocation, and shifts in research focus.

Postoperative management of Zenker's diverticulum: Results of the American Bronchoesophagological Association survey.

Introduction: Although treatment of Zenker's diverticulum (ZD) is commonly performed by otolaryngologists using a variety of surgical techniques, there is little published data on the postoperative management of patients. We sought to determine practice patterns among members of the American Bronchoesophagological Association (ABEA) after surgery for ZD.

Methods: An online questionnaire was designed via JotForm™ and subsequently sent to active members of the ABEA.

Complete nasal closure is one of the treatment options for patients with severe, intractable epistaxis. In our experience, this surgery can be life changing in a positive sense; but many patients as well as their physicians understandably fear that such a procedure will diminish certain aspects of quality of life (QOL).
