This realistic paper reviews an experience (20 patients) with squamous cell carcinoma of the external auditory canal treated with conservative surgery. The poor outcomes of patients with T3 and T4 sounds a warning.

An interesting paper addressing the increasingly important subject of patient quality of life outcomes after major surgery. The discrepancy between a patient's perception and the clinician's view of outcome has a number of potential implications.
