Techniques in functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) have come a long way since their inception, and there are new ways of working with patients.

When it comes to performing surgery for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), there are a variety of procedures that can be done, but otolaryngologists sometimes have personal preferences, and preferences can affect everything from how diagnoses are made to the type of surgery performed, often with similar end results.
As otolaryngologists are performing more procedures on an in-office basis, more are also using conscious sedation in the clinic setting.
For years, radical surgery was the only treatment for head and neck cancer (HNSCC).
Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is the standard first-line approach for moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea.
Image-guided sinus (IGS) and skull base surgery is no longer considered experimental or investigational, and is appropriate for use by otolaryngologic surgeons to help clarify complex anatomy encountered during functional endoscopic sinus and skull base surgery (FESS).
As otolaryngologists and facial plastic surgeons, we are fortunate to have the opportunity to perform many challenging operations of the head and neck.
