86th Annual Meeting of the German Society of Oto-Rhino-Laryngology, Head and Neck Surgery

German Society of Oto-Rhino-Laryngology, Head and Neck Surgery

Welcome

Prof. Dr. med. Werner Hosemann

Dear colleagues!

On this site you may find all the abstracts of the scientific contributions, given at the occasion of the 86th annual meeting of the German Society of Oto-Rhino-Laryngology, Head and Neck Surgery, held in Berlin (13th -16th of May, 2015).

The numerous high-grade abstracts reflect the fact, that Oto-Rhino-Laryngology (ENT) is a very active scientific and medical discipline. Generally, ENT encompasses conservative and also surgical aspects, diagnostic and also therapeutic measures focusing of all diseases of the head and neck in patients of any age. ENT relates significantly to sensory physiology (smell, taste, hearing, sense of balance). The presented variety of abstracts includes articles applying to any of the topics mentioned – there are impressive examples of basic research together with high ranking articles on practical aspects being presented as cohort studies or as case reports. These contributions are complemented by papers on ENT-specific medical economy and also on interdisciplinary scientific projects related to Oto-Rhino-Laryngology. Special notice should be taken on new developing fields of ENT (like rhino-neurosurgery, laryngeal pacing, hypoglossal nerve stimulation) and also on therapeutic modalities, which are not yet regarded as immanent in our medical discipline according to general public (e.g. traumatology, chemotherapy, esthetic surgery, thyroid surgery).

I would like to thank the authors of all the scientific contributions which are presented here, highly esteeming their commitment. Perusal of the abstracts may be particularly recommended. I am convinced that it will give the reader a competitive edge and it will offer the chance to have a positive insight into the actual stage of development of our medical discipline.

Note:

Medical science is subject to constant developments. Therefore it may occur that current research results which could not be taken into account when submitting the German abstracts are now part of the presentation of abstracts/posters at the Annual Meeting of the German Society of Oto-Rhino-Laryngology, Head and Neck Surgery.
The English abstracts which are published after the Annual Meeting may therefore diverge in content from the earlier published German abstracts. Hence, the published articles meet the state of knowledge at the completion date of the respective manuscripts.
