Overview
Surgical and outpatient care of a patient with ear disease is an integral part of otorhinolaryngology. It includes a wide range of procedures in the region of the external auditory canal, middle ear and other parts of the pyramid bone with various indications. The objective increase in the number of ear procedures at the department of the authors was the impulse to map the situation of ear surgery in the Czech Republic. Data were collected in the period from January 2020 to August 2020, using a questionnaire, which was sent to the heads of all ENT departments in the Czech Republic. The yield of the questionnaire was 100%. Overall 80% of all ENT departments perform ear surgeries, of which almost 85% perform pediatric ear surgeries too. The maximum of ear surgery proceeds in the university departments where an increase in the number of operated patients has been observed in the last 10 years. These departments also cover specialized procedures such as cochlear implantations and more extensive surgeries on the temporal bone.
