[Intracranial otogenic complications: inspite of therapeutic progress still a serious problem].
High-imaging modalities, antibiotics and improved microsurgical procedures have decreased morbidity and mortality of intracranial otogenic complications in the western hemisphere nowadays. However, they do occur and the resulting mortality is still about 10%. ⋯ Otogenic intracranial complications are potentially life threatening conditions. Early diagnosis is essential to allow appropriate antimicrobial and surgical treatment. The necessity of close cooperation between otorhinolaryngologist, pediatrician, neurologist, radiologist and neurosurgeon is stressed.

Comparative Study[Emergency tracheotomy in Göttingen minipigs. Comparison: standard technique versus Nu-Trake cricothyrotomy set].
To compare the time required, success rate and complication rate of the standard surgical approach for cricothyrotomy versus a prepacked kit in regard to the experience of the surgeon. ⋯ Experienced personnel should maintain the standard surgical approach for cricothyrotomy. Inexperienced personnel can use the Nu-Trake device which was found to be quicker as it facilitates the procedure, but causes more severe complications. We recommend to practise cricothyrotomy regularly in human cadavers, in the animal model if possible or on mannequins to be sufficiently trained in advanced airway management.

Comparative Study[Neuronavigation in the region of the skull base].
Neuronavigation (computer-aided surgery planning and performance) has proven to be helpful in performing neurosurgical operations. The experiences of our department gained on more than 500 patients operated upon will be presented, with special focus on more than 100 operations for lesions on the skull base. Navigation is one of several modern surgical tools, its value cannot be defined without observing other improvements e.g. in the area of preoperative diagnostics, intraoperative monitoring, microsurgical instruments and microsurgical approaches.
