Background and objective
There is great heterogeneity in the methodology and evaluation in specialised health training (SHT) in otorhinolaryngology in our country. The figure of the resident tutor is the cornerstone on which the SHT system is based and the regulation and recognition of this figure varies. This article aims to take a snapshot of the current situation of the SHT in Spain and to describe the activity of tutors.
Materials and methods
During the month of September 2023, a survey was sent in a Google Forms® format through the Spanish Society of Otolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery. The survey consisted of 8 multiple-choice questions and 4 questions in which they were asked to rank a series of 5 weaknesses, threats, opportunities and strengths selected by the authors, in order to perform a SWOT analysis.
Results
A total of 103 responses were obtained, of which 81 corresponded to accredited tutors. 63% of the tutors indicated that they did not have enough time to carry out their teaching work and 48% did not carry out a regular assessment of their residents. 64% of the tutors believe that the quality of otorhinolaryngology training in Spain is good and 61% are satisfied with their job as tutors. The main weakness was the short duration of the training programme, and the pressure of care was found to be the main threat. An experienced training system was considered the main strength and the creation of a national network of tutors was seen as an opportunity for improvement.
Conclusions
The creation of a common and transversal otorhinolaryngology training pathway for all accredited centres and the creation of a network of mentors and residents are necessary to address the problems of SHT. The role of the tutor must be recognised and reinforced to improve specialist training.

The anterior ethmoidal artery flap (AEA) is a pedicle endonasal flap frequently used to repair septal perforations (SP). The posterior incision is the most complex to perform. The primary objective was to determine the minimum height of the posterior incision (PI) of an AEA completely cover an anterior septal perforation.
Materials and methods
A cadaveric specimen was sectioned in the sagittal plane and a SP of 1 cm was created anteriorly. The PI of the AEA flap was made progressively at a height of 10, 20, 30, and 40 mm. The complete closure of the SP and the angle of rotation (AR) of the flap were assessed.
Results
According to the length of the PI the following results were obtained: PI = 10 mm: The SP was covered partially, and the AR was 45º. PI = 20 mm: The SP was fully covered, and the AR was 63º.
PI = 30 mm and 40 mm: The SP was fully covered with redundant tissue.
This study shows that an anterior ethmoidal artery flap that includes the nasal floor and the inferior meatus mucosa combined with a posterior incision of 20 mm could result in adequate coverage of all margins of an anterior SP up to area 1a of the septum.

Purpose
The most used neurosurgical approach to reach cerebellar-pontine angle is the retrosigmoid route. This article describes the presigmoid approach which requires excellent knowledge of the labyrinthine block together with quantitative analysis of temporal bone CT.
Methods
CT-based quantitative measurements were obtained in patients undergoing vestibular neurectomy with a presigmoid approach. Eighteen patients were enrolled, and five measures were taken: Trautmann’s area, the petro-clival angle, presigmoid dura length and its angle. The relationship between these measurements and hospitalization days, operating times, and complications was explored.
Results
The posterior semicircilar canal (PSC)-sigmoid sinus (SS) distance, presigmoid dura- internal auditory canal (IAC)-PSC angle, and duration of surgery are predictors of complications. Specifically, a PSC-sigmoid sinus distance <11 mm, a dura presig-IAC-PSC angle <14 are associated with the highest risk of complications.
Conclusion
Preoperative temporal bone CT scan can guide the surgeon through the narrowest areas of the surgical approach. Trautmann’s triangle area and petro-clival angle reduction are challenging and can be faced with combined microscopic-endoscopic technique, and with optics angulation-rotation. The retrolabyrinthine approach can enable hearing preservation and minimal cerebellar retraction.

Objective
The incidence of recurrent peritonsillar abscess (7.4–22%) was estimated in retrospective studies. The aim of this prospective study was to estimate the cumulative incidence of recurrent peritonsillar abscess and related risk factors.
Methods
We performed a prospective longitudinal cohort study. The study included adult patients (≥18 years old) of both sexes who were attended in the emergency facilities of our tertiary hospital, without peritonsillar abscess background, diagnosed of a first episode of peritonsillar abscess and treated with standard of care (abscess drainage and antibiotics). Patients were followed for 24 months. Cumulative incidence of peritonsillar abscess recurrence was estimated and its 95% confidence interval was calculated; and predictive risk factors were assessed.
Results
Between January 1st, 2019 and March 9th, 2020, a total of 181 consecutive patients were included. The cumulative incidence of recurrent peritonsillar abscess at 2 years of the diagnosis was 9.9% (18 out of 181, 95% CI: 6.4–15.2%). The only risk factor associated with recurrent peritonsillar abscess in multivariate analysis was low plasma glucose level at the time of emergency room attendance (HR: 0.46, 95% CI: 0.24–0.91, p-value: 0.026).
Conclusion
Peritonsillar abscess is an incident medical issue, with an established recurrence rate, but with unclear predictive risk factors of recurrence. Further studies are needed to assess the risk factor associated with recurrent peritonsillar abscess.

Introduction and objectives
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a prevalent condition among electable to bariatric surgery obese patients, often remaining underdiagnosed, thereby increasing surgical risk. The main purpose was to determine prevalence of OSA among candidates for bariatric surgery and to assess the rate of underdiagnosis of this condition. Additionally, the study aimed to evaluate the specific performance of three sleep questionnaires and scales (Excessive Daytime Sleepiness Scale (EDSS), Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), and STOP-Bang) in these patients.
Methods
A longitudinal, prospective, single-cohort study, with consecutive sampling including patients aged 18-65 years with obesity grade II (body mass index (BMI) ≥ 35 kg/m2) and hypertension, type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome or OSA or obesity grade III or IV (BMI ≥ 40 kg/m2) elective for bariatric surgery. Patients were evaluated at the Otorhinolaryngology department with an anamnesis regarding OSA including the administration of three sleep questionnaires (EDSS, ESS, and STOP-Bang), followed by cardiorespiratory polygraphy (CRP) for sleep evaluation.
Results
124 patients were included in this study. While 74.2% of the sample exhibited OSA on CRP, only 28.2% had a prior diagnosis. The STOP-Bang questionnaire demonstrated the highest sensitivity (93.3%) for detecting moderate to severe OSA, although with low specificity (33.8%). EDSS and ESS did not show a significant association with the presence of OSA.
Conclusions
OSA screening is crucial in candidates for bariatric surgery due to its high prevalence and low diagnosis rate. The STOP-Bang questionnaire may serve as a useful tool for identifying patients at risk of moderate to severe OSA and optimizing sleep assessments. However, further research is necessary to validate its utility in this specific population.
导言和目的阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停（OSA）是可选择进行减肥手术的肥胖患者中的一种普遍病症，往往诊断不足，从而增加了手术风险。研究的主要目的是确定 OSA 在减肥手术候选者中的患病率，并评估该疾病的漏诊率。此外，该研究还旨在评估三种睡眠问卷和量表（日间过度嗜睡量表（EDSS）、埃普沃斯嗜睡量表（ESS）和STOP-Bang）在这些患者中的具体表现。方法一项纵向、前瞻性、单队列研究，连续取样包括 18-65 岁肥胖等级 II（体重指数 (BMI) ≥ 35 kg/m2）和高血压、2 型糖尿病、代谢综合征或 OSA 或肥胖等级 III 或 IV（体重指数 (BMI) ≥ 40 kg/m2）的减肥手术择期患者。患者在耳鼻喉科接受评估，并提供有关 OSA 的病史资料，包括进行三项睡眠问卷调查（EDSS、ESS 和 STOP-Bang），然后进行心肺聚光仪（CRP）睡眠评估。虽然 74.2% 的样本在 CRP 中显示有 OSA，但只有 28.2% 的样本曾被诊断过。STOP-Bang 问卷检测中重度 OSA 的灵敏度最高（93.3%），但特异性较低（33.8%）。结论 由于 OSA 的高患病率和低诊断率，因此对减肥手术患者进行 OSA 筛查至关重要。STOP-Bang 问卷可作为一种有用的工具，用于识别有中度至重度 OSA 风险的患者并优化睡眠评估。不过，还需要进一步的研究来验证其在这一特定人群中的实用性。

Introduction
Juvenile recurrent parotitis is a rare disease characterized by repeated episodes of inflammation affecting, unilaterally or bilaterally, the parotid glands during childhood.
Material and methods
Retrospective study including patients diagnosed with juvenile recurrent parotitis between January 2010 and September 2020 at a tertiary level hospital, with the aim of evaluating the results of medical treatment and sialoendoscopy.
Results
A total of 48 patients met the inclusion criteria and had a mean follow-up of 4 years (SD = 3; Min: 2/Max: 12). Regarding treatment, 34 (70.8%) patients received conservative treatment and had a mean of 5 episodes (SD = 3; Min: 2/Max: 13) until symptom resolution. Meanwhile, 14 (29.2%) patients underwent sialoendoscopy, of which two (12%) required reintervention. In 100% (14) of the patients treated with siaolendoscopy, the findings were consistent with JRP and, after sialoendoscopy, a statistically significant reduction in episodes was observed, with a mean of 1 post-intervention episode (SD = 1.5; Min:0/Max: 6; P<.001).
Conclusions
The results obtained in this study suggest that sialoendoscopy is a useful tool in the treatment of juvenile recurrent parotitis. However, new studies comparing the results of sialoendoscopy with other therapeutic alternatives are necessary.
