Endoscopic Nasal & Sinus Surgery
Septal, functional and advanced endoscopic nasal/sinus pathways.
SANTOSH SURGICAL JOURNAL · LIVING CASE LIBRARY
From operative volume to shared learning.
A continuously developing, de-identified record of surgical work across basic, intermediate, advanced and complex ENT practice — designed for clinical reflection, fellowship learning and responsible public education.
THE SURGICAL SPECTRUM
One clinical library. Multiple learning pathways.
The journal organises selected de-identified surgical learning across the breadth of ENT practice without publishing operational case-volume figures.
Oncology & Major Surgery
Ablative surgery, neck surgery, reconstruction and multidisciplinary care.
Ear & Hearing Restoration
Middle-ear, mastoid and hearing-restoration surgical pathways.
Laryngology & Airway
Diagnostic, therapeutic and reconstructive airway/laryngeal procedures.
Related Surgical Care
Selected oral cavity, mandibular and related multidisciplinary procedures.
Complex ENT Pathways
Selected advanced cases developed into deeper educational records when documentation is suitable.
CASE LIBRARY ARCHITECTURE
Basic → intermediate → advanced → complex.
Every publishable case is converted from a service record into a de-identified learning record. The journal does not expose patient names, contact numbers, addresses, case numbers or card numbers.

INTERESTING & CHALLENGING CASES
Cases worth stopping for.
Selected cases will be developed as richer educational stories when operative notes, imaging, photographs/video, pathology and follow-up are available and suitable for publication.
Composite resection + microvascular reconstruction
The registry contains composite resections with tracheostomy and microvascular/free-flap reconstruction — suitable for a stepwise planning and reconstruction case series.
Total / partial laryngectomy pathways
Major laryngeal resections with airway management, neck dissection and flap reconstruction can become longitudinal peri-operative learning cases.
Hemiglossectomy + neck dissection + flap
Potential teaching cases linking oncologic clearance, airway planning, reconstruction, postoperative care and functional rehabilitation.
Multi-site maxillofacial fixation
The registry includes mandibular, maxillary and zygomatic fixation combinations that can form an operative-planning and reconstruction series.
Thyroidectomy + block/comprehensive neck dissection
Potential cases for anatomy, decision-making, nerve/parathyroid preservation principles and postoperative surveillance.
Mastoid & tympanic reconstruction
A longitudinal hearing-restoration library can connect pre-operative hearing assessment, operative findings, reconstruction and hearing outcomes.
JOURNAL RECORD
One structured case template.
Presentation
Symptoms, clinical findings, diagnosis and indication for intervention.
Pre-operative work-up
Relevant imaging, audiology, endoscopy, pathology, staging or multidisciplinary planning.
Surgical strategy
Procedure, operative challenge, anatomy, reconstruction and decision points.
Post-operative course
Immediate recovery, wound/airway/hearing/functional pathway and complications where relevant.
Follow-up
Clinical, functional, oncological or hearing outcome documented over time.
Teaching point
What this case adds to surgical learning, fellowship discussion and future practice.
CARE + SUPPORT
Clinical care and charitable support remain clearly separated.
Clinical Provider: Dr Bhushan Kathuria & Team
Clinical Services Provider: Santosh Advanced ENT Healthcare
Support Partner: Santosh Cancer Foundation for eligible cancer and hearing-restoration pathways where support is actually provided and documented.
PUBLICATION PRINCIPLE
De-identified by default.
No patient identity is published from the operational registry. Individual case stories require appropriate documentation and consent for any identifiable clinical media.
AN ONGOING CLINICAL RECORD
The journal grows with the surgical programme.
New registry entries can be classified, reviewed and selectively developed into educational cases without turning the public website into a patient database.
