Aim: To analyse the outcomes of patients who underwent elective ENT surgery during the first peak of the COVID-19 pandemic in a COVID free site.
Methods: This is a retrospective single centre case series of all patients undergoing elective ENT surgery over a 16-week period between 1 April and 22 July 2020.
Results: No patients, out of our cohort of 85, developed postoperative COVID-19 symptoms or complications of COVID-19. There were no mortalities.
Conclusion: The results suggests that hospitals can safely manage elective ENT operating services during the pandemic.

Unlabelled: Introduction: Tonsillectomy is commonly associated with significant postoperative challenges such as pain management, complication monitoring, and patient recovery. Traditional care methods, while effective, often do not adequately address these issues, particularly in personalized care and remote monitoring. This study assesses the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI)-assisted postoperative care on recovery outcomes in tonsillectomy patients compared to conventional care methods.

Importance: Metastases to the submandibular gland (SMG) from oral cavity primaries are very rare. Hence, a gland-preserving level IB dissection technique is a feasible option without compromising the lymph node yield (LNY).
Objective: To assess the feasibility and noninferiority of the SMG-preserving dissection technique to the conventional en bloc removal of level IB in terms of LNY in patients with cN0 oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) undergoing elective neck dissection.

Article Synopsis
- * Using propensity score matching, the results compared survival outcomes between 96 patients treated with ENI and 53 who were not, revealing significant improvements in overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and locoregional relapse-free survival (LRFS) for those receiving ENI.
- * The study concludes that ENI appears to reduce regional failure rates and should be considered in treatment planning for locally advanced node-negative ENB patients, particularly those classified as
