Five areas of active clinical research development in otolaryngology have been selected to illustrate the specific applications of microsurgical principles and the potential future of associated bioengineering research. These are: (i) biocompatible microelectronic circuitry and cochlear electrode implant in total cochlear deafness, with preservation of auditory nerve function; (ii) microneural surgery of the facial nerve in hemifacial spasm and the techniques available for reinnervation of the paralysed larynx; (iii) laser microsurgery of the larynx--a new surgical modality dependent on high-precision control through the operating microscope; (iv) microvascular free tissue transfer in head and neck reconstruction and its potential value following combined irradiation therapy for carcinoma; and (v) human laryngeal transplantation--its current status.
耳鼻喉科目前有五个活跃的临床研究领域被选出来，以阐明显微外科原则的具体应用以及相关生物工程研究的潜在未来。它们分别是：（i）全耳蜗性耳聋中生物相容性微电子电路和人工耳蜗电极植入，同时保留听觉神经功能；（ii）面肌痉挛中面神经的显微神经外科手术以及用于麻痹喉再支配的现有技术；（iii）喉部激光显微手术——一种依赖手术显微镜进行高精度控制的新手术方式；（iv）头颈部重建中的微血管游离组织移植及其在联合放疗治疗癌症后的潜在价值；以及（v）人类喉移植——其当前状况。
