Title: The otolaryngologist's attitude to facial plastic surgery.
Abstract: Of 453 Canadian otolaryngologist, 226 responded to a questionnaire, indicating significant interest in the state of facial plastic and reconstructive surgery. The majority of these otolaryngologists practised in larger cities and one-quarter received foreign training. Half of the respondents had academic affiliations and three-quarters considered themselves general otolaryngologists. Almost all the otolaryngologists believed that cosmetic and reconstructive surgery should form a major part of their specialty, this being unanimous among current residents. A large majority felt there should be more facial plastic surgical training, this both at the residency and fellowship levels, preferably through increased surgical exposure. With respect to sub-certification, only the resident group was in favor.
