Transoral robotic surgery
Robotic surgery through the mouth for head and neck tumours.
Key point
In predominantly HPV-associated OPSCC treated with TORS, smoking history showed no significant difference in recurrence-free or disease-specific survival.

All specialties →Tinnitus
Tinnitus mechanisms and treatments, including neuromodulation.
Cochlear implants
Cochlear implantation, including in older adults and single-sided deafness.
Key point: Cochlear implant indications now include profound unilateral or bilateral sensorineural hearing loss, unilateral deafness, or residual hearing, determined individually for each ear.
Smell loss
Olfactory dysfunction, including after viral infection.
HPV-positive oropharyngeal cancer
HPV-related throat cancer and treatment de-escalation.
Eustachian tube balloon dilation
Balloon dilation for Eustachian tube dysfunction.
Key point: BDET may improve functional and audiological outcomes in pediatric ETD, but comparative evidence does not confirm superiority over standard management.
Over-the-counter hearing aids
Hearing aids sold without a prescription.

How these numbers are counted
PubMed query, searched in titles and abstracts by publication date:
