A few questions out of curiosity about otolaryngology.
1. How much variety doe a general ENT see? What is the scope of a general ent? What about fellowship trained ENT guys?
2. Does one have to do a fellowship to do some of the advanced procedures? Like head and neck oncology with microvascular reconstruction? Or skull base surgery? What procedures would an ENT be unable to do without a fellowship
3. How does one get into skull base surgery? Is it through rhinology? Or with head and neck oncology?
4. How many different approaches are there in skull base surgery, and who does said approaches?
5. Can an ENT solo a skull base procedure? Or does a neurosurgeon always have to aid?
6. Would it be possible to do Neuro-otology, head and neck oncology, skull base and some general procedures, or some combination of those, and still be proficient in each?
7. Finally, do all head and neck surgeons do their own reconstructions, or does plastics cover that?
Any and all answers are greatly appreciated!
