Key findingsĀ 
In our three university ENT department, a global 84% decrease was noted in terms of surgical volume. This is mainly due to the strong reduction of functional surgery. We managed to keep neck surgery for cancer stable.
Among the 6 ears operated on in 2020, 5 of them were stage IV vestibular schwannomas, thus corresponding to critical cases. We have found no explanation as to the global diminution of urgent surgeries, but the possible reduction of facial trauma due to confinement.
