The integration of smartphone technologies has further democratized craniofacial imaging by enabling accurate 3D scans with minimal cost and radiation exposure. Despite variability in certain facial regions, these technologies have shown promising accuracy for clinical use. Furthermore, AI-driven approaches enhance diagnostic precision by generating synthetic data and improving landmark detection in complex cranial morphologies.Summary: Recent technological advances are reshaping craniofacial imaging and optimizing preoperative and postoperative care in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery. 3D imaging and AI applications offer significant improvements over traditional methods and allow for more precise and reliable methods for operative planning and longitudinal assessments. As these tools develop, they are bound to become the new standards for clinical evaluation of craniofacial anomalies.","PeriodicalId":55195,"journal":{"name":"Current Opinion in Otolaryngology & Head and Neck Surgery","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144327796","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recently, there has been an increased utilization of virtual surgical planning (VSP) with patient-specific reconstruction plates to decrease operative time and improve postoperative outcomes. It is critical for surgeons performing mandibular reconstruction to have a comprehensive understanding of the contributing factors and strategies for minimizing the likelihood of MPF.Recent findings: This review examines the patient-related and surgical factors contributing to MPF. The literature highlights that patient-related factors include younger age and degree of occlusion, while surgical factors include lateral mandibular defects, the absence of coronoidectomy, and the use of bridging plates without bony reconstruction. Notably, recent studies suggest a reduction in MPFs with the implementation of VSP and patient-specific reconstruction plates.Summary: This review aims to inform surgeons about patients who are at increased risk of MPF following mandibular reconstruction, emphasizing the need for close monitoring. Furthermore, it underscores the additional benefits of VSP and patient-specific reconstruction plates in improving postoperative outcomes. However, further research is required to assess the long-term efficacy of these reconstruction plates.","PeriodicalId":55195,"journal":{"name":"Current Opinion in Otolaryngology & Head and Neck Surgery","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144259423","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite these advancements, few tools have been successfully adopted in clinical settings. Effective implementation requires the application of established implementation science frameworks early in the design phase. Additional factors required for the successful integration of AI applications include addressing specific clinical needs, fostering diverse and interdisciplinary teams, and ensuring scalability without compromising model performance. Governance, epistemic, and ethical considerations must also be continuously incorporated throughout the project lifecycle to ensure the safe, responsible, and equitable use of AI technologies.Summary: While AI hold significant promise for advancing laryngology, its implementation in clinical practice remains limited.

Emphasis is placed on infective aetiologies contributing to granulomatous diseases and the emerging innovations in the diagnosis and management of these conditions.Recent findings: Granulomatous inflammations represent a distinctive spectrum of conditions arising from infectious, autoimmune, neoplastic, and chemical exposures. The prevalence of these disorders varies globally, with infectious aetiologies being more common in subtropical regions and autoimmune inflammatory conditions predominating in Western countries. Notably, the global burden of certain infectious granulomatous diseases is declining due to improved awareness, socio-economic conditions, and enhanced access to healthcare.However, the incidence of invasive fungal mucormycosis has risen sharply following the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly in the Indian subcontinent. Contributing factors include diabetes mellitus, excessive use of high-dose corticosteroids, and environmental influences. Early diagnosis, along with aggressive surgical debridement and antifungal therapy, remains critical for successful management.Summary: Otolaryngologists must be aware of granulomatous conditions affecting the nose and paranasal sinuses, given their potential to cause significant morbidity if left untreated. Timely diagnosis relies on clinical suspicion supported by blood tests, imaging, and histopathology for effective intervention.","PeriodicalId":55195,"journal":{"name":"Current Opinion in Otolaryngology & Head and Neck Surgery","volume":" ","pages":"170-175"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143774540","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The bespoke curriculum, competency and assessment framework were intensively delivered through a range of workplace-based training.The aim of this review is to share the principles underpinning the developed frameworks.Recent findings: The development of the bespoke SLT HNC education programme and competency framework was informed by Macmillan AHP competencies, the Aspirant Cancer Career Education and Development (ACCEND) programme and with reference to the four pillars of practice as described in the advanced clinical practitioner framework. The C&M framework was centred around evidence based principles of medical education specifically Constructivist Learning theory and included foundation theory teaching, self-directed learning, technical skills mastery, delivered by blended and workplace-based learning events. The assessment framework incorporated peer and clinical supervision, viva and case reviews and workplace-based assessment including Direct Observation of Procedural Skills (DOPS) with entrustable professional activities (EPA).Summary: The education programme was successful in progressing SLT staff within 18 months to achieve appropriate competencies to deliver a new integrated service across C&M. The detailed competency and assessment frameworks developed spans the whole of the HNC patient pathway. Next steps are sharing the success of this work and further development of the learning programme for C&M and other services.","PeriodicalId":55195,"journal":{"name":"Current Opinion in Otolaryngology & Head and Neck Surgery","volume":" ","pages":"149-155"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143756072","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Whilst recognizing this intention, the current structure for providing care in NHS organizations does not foster cross-organizational working.Summary: Integration enhances patient centred care, however implementation of change across organizations is challenging.

We discussed the importance of the availability of endoscopy for evaluation and management of diseases of the nose and sinuses. We also look at ways of providing training. Partnership and collaboration with high income countries offer benefits for all. Fellowships are particularly valuable in developing specialist services.
