History

The Triological Society was founded in the United States in 1895. [2] Edward B. Dench was the society's first president. [3] Presidents of the society serve one-year terms. [2] [4] The society elected its first female president, Gaelyn Garrett, in 2019. [1] In 1921, Rose Hall Skillern observed that the Triological Society duplicated the work of the Academy of Otolaryngology, and suggested that the two might more efficiently be merged. [5]

Membership

Membership in the Triological Society is by election, [6] [7] and candidates must submit a research thesis for consideration. [8] [9] In 1995, only about 10% of specialists in the fields of otorhinolaryngology were members of the society. [10] Notable members include:

Publications and other activities

The society publishes a monthly newsletter, ENT Today, and two peer-reviewed professional journals, The Laryngoscope and Laryngoscope Investigative Otolaryngology; the latter is open-access and online only. [13] The society also makes about $500,000 in grants to its members, for research and travel, [2] holds conferences, [14] [15] and presents annual awards for achievement in the field. [16] [17]

A myringotomy is a surgical procedure in which an incision is created in the eardrum to relieve pressure caused by excessive buildup of fluid, or to drain pus from the middle ear. A tympanostomy tube may be inserted through the eardrum to keep the middle ear aerated for a prolonged time and to prevent reaccumulation of fluid. Without the insertion of a tube, the incision usually heals spontaneously within two to three weeks. Depending on the type, the tube is either naturally extruded in 6 to 12 months or removed during a minor procedure.

Laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) or laryngopharyngeal reflux disease (LPRD) is the retrograde flow of gastric contents into the larynx, oropharynx and/or the nasopharynx. LPR causes respiratory symptoms such as cough and wheezing and is often associated with head and neck complaints such as dysphonia, globus pharyngis, and dysphagia. LPR may play a role in other diseases, such as sinusitis, otitis media, and rhinitis, and can be a comorbidity of asthma. While LPR is commonly used interchangeably with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), it presents with a different pathophysiology.
