Post-tonsillectomy pain is one of the most common morbidities in children, markedly affecting comfort and recovery. Although several factors influencing pain have been explored, the role of tonsil volume remains unclear.

In patients with clinically non-metastatic (N0) oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma (OTSCC), occult metastases remain a critical determinant of survival.

Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the main cause of the rapidly increasing incidence of oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPC) in high-income countries, particularly in men. Studies have shown a lower awareness of HPV-associated cancers, particularly OPC, in men. This study assessed the information provided by health authorities on HPV-induced OPC in multiple high-income countries.

The use of topical haemostatic agents in head and neck surgery has increased. Although generally considered safe, concerns have arisen about potential associations with postoperative complications.

Choanal atresia (CA) is rare. Unilateral CA (UCA) can be detected late in life. Recurrences following CA repair are challenging.

To investigate the heterogeneity of mental health among patients of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP), and further look into the relationship between mental health, disease severity, and quality of life.

The clinical influence of COVID-19 on patients with oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) in Denmark is unclear.

Bilateral vestibulopathy (BVP) is a rare disorder that markedly reduces quality of life through impaired vestibulo-ocular reflex and related symptoms.

Cochlin-tomoprotein (CTP) has recently emerged as a promising diagnostic marker for perilymphatic fistula (PLF), but its utility beyond diagnosis remains unclear.

Partial parotidectomy is the most common surgical approach to treat benign parotid tumours. Studies on recovery from parotidectomy are lacking.

Recently, Hydrops MRI has unexpectedly identified endolymphatic hydrops (EH) in patients presenting with profound sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL), highlighting a discrepancy that prompted further investigation.

Tinnitus is a common symptom in patients of chronic otitis media (COM), but data regarding its dynamics after middle ear surgery is limited. Furthermore, the mechanism of new-onset tinnitus post-surgery surgery remains unclear.

Age-related hearing loss (ARHL) represents the most prevalent sensory disorder among the elderly, significantly impairing daily functioning and increasing the risk of psychiatric conditions. Although Schwann cells (SCs) are critical for maintaining auditory nerve function, the mechanisms underlying their dysfunction in ARHL remain incompletely elucidated.

Cochlear implantation (CI) is a standard intervention for congenital severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss. However, postoperative auditory and speech outcomes vary considerably across patients, and the developmental status of the cochlear nerve is considered a major determinant of rehabilitation efficacy.

Otosclerosis is a primary osteodystrophy of the otic capsule that causes conductive or mixed hearing loss. High-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) is the preferred imaging tool, but its sensitivity varies and depends on radiologist expertise. Artificial intelligence (AI) may improve diagnostic accuracy by identifying subtle features.

The use of ChatGPT in the field of otolaryngology is increasing; however, there are not enough studies related to cochlear implants.

No randomized trials confirm the efficacy of concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) in platinum-ineligible patients with locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (LAHNSCC) post-induction chemotherapy (IC).

Age-related immunosenescence, also known as 'inflammageing', may impact the elderly's ability to mount immune responses against cancers and compromise the effectiveness of immune checkpoint inhibition (ICI). In this context, data on tonsillar cancer (TC), a subset of head and neck squamous cell cancer (HNSCC), are lacking.

MicroRNAs play a critical role in laryngeal carcinogenesis, yet their stage-dependent dysregulation in tumor and peritumoral mucosa remains unclear.

Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is a common vestibular disorder causing transient episodes of vertigo. While canalith repositioning maneuvers are effective, the influence of physical activity levels on treatment response remains unclear.
