Within the field of otorhinolaryngology, interest in facial plastic surgery has grown significantly in recent years. There is a lack of evidence in the literature documenting this interest in the British Isles.
572 questionnaires were mailed to all members of the British Association of Otolaryngologists, Head and Neck Surgeons and to members of the Irish Otolaryngological Society.
Our response rate was 68 per cent. One-third of respondents were performing facial plastic procedures regularly, most commonly otoplasty (80 per cent), rhinoplasty (74 per cent) and facial flaps (28 per cent). Two-thirds of respondents had attended supplementary courses in facial plastic surgery, and 65 per cent would like facial plastic surgery to compose one-third of their daily practice.
Facial plastic surgery has become a significant part of the otorhinolaryngologists' practice. They are now offering a wider variety of procedures in the area. This is the first paper to document this interest in the United Kingdom and Ireland.
在耳鼻咽喉科领域，近年来对面部整形手术的兴趣显著增长。文献中缺乏关于不列颠群岛对此兴趣的证据记录。
向英国耳鼻咽喉科医师、头颈外科医师协会的所有成员以及爱尔兰耳鼻咽喉学会的成员邮寄了572份问卷。
我们的回复率为68%。三分之一的受访者定期进行面部整形手术，最常见的是耳整形术（80%）、鼻整形术（74%）和面部皮瓣手术（28%）。三分之二的受访者参加过面部整形手术的补充课程，65%的人希望面部整形手术占其日常业务的三分之一。
面部整形手术已成为耳鼻咽喉科医师业务的重要组成部分。他们现在在该领域提供更多样化的手术。这是第一篇记录英国和爱尔兰对此兴趣的论文。
