Abstract:
Once more, this selection of papers is intended towards the general practionner, avoiding deliberately technical papers. Last year, we focused on rhinology and head and neck surgery, and this year we choose other themes, like dysphonia, gastroesophagal reflux, robotic surgery or interest of PET in thyroid screening. Several meta-analysis are presented, regarding long term antibiotic treatments in case of chronic otitis media, tonsillotomy versus tonsillectomy, MRSA prevalence, or sudden hearing loss.
