Leading in cochlear implant reliability
All MED-EL’S titanium cochlear implants since 2006 have an overall cumulative survival rate of over 99%.Targeted focal parathyroidectomy
Leanne Hamilton and Louise Clark describe their technique for helping to localise parathyoid adenomas. Surgically this can be difficult, so careful preoperative evaluation using imaging as described can help minimise difficulties intraoperatively when identifying the parathyroid adenoma. Preoperative imaging has...An update on HPV and the vaccination

Barriers span psychological, informational,...Beyond blocked noses: paediatric olfactory dysfunction for the ENT surgeon
Smell loss in children often goes unnoticed. Recognising the signs, understanding the causes and improving access to assessment could transform care. The hidden epidemic: why smell matters in children When a child presents with nasal obstruction, we instinctively look for...
Dizziness in OSA patients– is there a link and can CPAP treat it?
