What's new in surgery: otolaryngology.
It is a decade since the last review article on otolaryngology in this Journal. In that time there have been significant advances in the practice of an ever-changing specialty which originally started off as a surgical specialty designed to drain abscesses from the bony boxes in the head, namely the mastoids and the sinuses. It is impossible, in an article like this, to do anything other than superficially indicate the changes but a list of further reading is given for each section.
