View from the Editors: Peer Review, Publishing, and the Editorial Process Michael G. Stewart, MD, MPH (moderator); Richard M. Rosenfeld, MD, MPH; Paul A. Levine, MD; David W. Kennedy, MD; Ehab Y. N. Hanna, MD; Robert T. Sataloff, MD; Rakesh K. Chandra, MD Program Description: In this presentation, the editors-inchief of several major otolaryngology journals will provide instruction and insight on many aspects of the peer-review process, for current and future reviewers. We will address the roles of peer reviewers, associate editors, and the editorial board and address the importance of voluntary participation in the peer-review process. We will discuss several practical matters, including frequent errors made by authors and reviewers and tips and strategies for improving reviews and papers. We will discuss decisions on revision versus rejection and responding to reviewer critiques/disagreements. We will also discuss how to advance up the editorial ladder. Educational Objectives: (1) To educate attendees on the process of peer review and on how to improve their own peer reviews and manuscript submissions. (2) To educate attendees on how editors select associate editors and editorial board members. (3) To allow attendees to learn about the review and publication process. Wow! That’s a Lot of Blood: Expert Management of Epistaxis David M. Poetker, MD (moderator); Douglas D. Reh, MD; Bradford A. Woodworth, MD; Nathan B. Sautter, MD; Douglas A. Ross, MD; Jay F. Piccirillo, MD Program Description: Epistaxis management is rarely discussed in comprehensive detail, and we feel this topic is grossly underrepresented at the annual meeting. Our goal is to thoroughly discuss current epistaxis treatment techniques used by a panel of experts. Each panelist will review personal experience with current advanced management techniques, emphasizing supporting data and best evidence. Modalities discussed include advanced endoscopic techniques, electrosurgical and plasma cautery, directed vessel ligation, endovascular embolization, and large vessel patching for a wide range of scenarios including anterior and posterior epistaxis as well as large vessel hemorrhage. Special considerations such as hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia will also be discussed. Educational Objectives: (1) Describe the current therapies available to the otolaryngologist to treat epistaxis. (2) Recognize the strengths and weaknesses of each therapy for epistaxis. (3) Implement the various therapies for epistaxis.
Head and Neck Surgery Beyond Stones: Other Indications for Sialendoscopy M. Boyd Gillespie, MD, MSc (moderator); David W. Eisele, MD; Barry M. Schaitkin, MD; Rohan R. Walvekar, MD; Arjun S. Joshi, MD; Henry T. Hoffman, MD
Program Description: Sialendoscopy is recognized as a firstline option in the management of salivary stones. The role of sialendoscopy in nonstone disorders is less clear. This miniseminar focuses on the indications and applications of sialendoscopy for nonstone disorders including ductal scar and trauma, Sjogren disease, radioiodine sialadenitis, and recurrent juvenile parotitis. The moderator will present cases of nonstone disorders to a panel of experts in order to determine their use of sialendoscopy in the management of these disorders. The discussion will conclude with a brief overview of the current best evidence of the role of sialendoscopy in the management of nonstone disorders. Educational Objectives: (1) Recognize which nonstone salivary disorders may benefit from sialendoscopy. (2) Learn techniques for applying sialendoscopy to nonstone disorders. (3) Understand the outcomes and limitations of sialendoscopy in the management of nonstone disorders. Cancer, Canker Sores, and More: High-Risk Oral Cavity Lesions Steven J. Wang, MD (moderator); James J. Sciubba, DDS; Sol Silverman, DDS; Joseph Califano, MD; Jeremy D. Richmon, MD Program Description: The myriad lesions that present in the oral cavity can stymie even the most astute otolaryngologist. These may span from the most benign, such as recurrent canker sores, to more ominous malignancies, often with very similar appearances. Furthermore, various systemic illnesses such as Sjogren disease, lichen planus, Crohn disease, lupus, and nutritional deficiencies may present with vexing oral cavity lesions. This evidence-based miniseminar supported by the American Academy of Otolaryngology—Head and Neck Surgery Head and Neck Surgery & Oncology Committee will explore the differential diagnoses, workup, and management of a spectrum of oral lesions as well as early-stage oral cavity cancer. Educational Objectives: (1) Describe and identify some of the more unusual oral conditions that present to the otolaryngologist. (2) Identify signs and symptoms of systemic illness in the oral cavity. (3) Examine the management of premalignant oral lesions, the role for screening and biopsy, and the appropriate workup and surgical management of early oral cancer. Clinic-Based Decision Making for Head and Neck Endocrine Disease Russell B. Smith, MD (moderator); Ralph P. Tufano, MD; David L. Steward, MD; Maisie L. Shindo, MD; Salvatore M. Caruana, MD; Jason P. Hunt, MD Program Description: Patients with thyroid and parathyroid disease are commonly encountered in a head and neck surgery practice. While the evaluation and management of many patients is relatively straightforward, others are significantly more complicated. The goal of this session is to discuss complex clinical scenarios encountered in the outpatient clinic. The cost-effective use of diagnostic testing as
