|
Background & Objectives: To assess the interest of Korean otorhinolaryngologists in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery (FPRS).
Subjects & Methods: We performed a 15-question survey about the experience and interest in FPRS among Korean otorhinolaryngologists. The response rate was 23% (206/899, university and general hospital : 34%, private practice : 14%).
Results: In most respondents, the proportion of FPRS in their practice was less than 25%. Rhinoplasty was the most commonly performed procedure among FPRS followed by otoplasty and blepharoplasty. Ninety-four percent of respondents regarded their training in FPRS as insufficient and 38% had taken supplementary courses for the FPRS. Forty percent responded that FPRS should be taught during and after residency training. Finally, 89% of all respondents responded that FPRS should be part of the field of otorhinolaryngology, and 71% responded that it should become a subspecialty under the Korean otorhinolaryngologic society.
Conclusion: There is an interest in integrating FPRS training into the Korean otorhinolaryngology residency training program.
