Objectives: Early on during the COVID-19 pandemic, the US Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and other government as well as medical institutions recommended that surgeons postpone nonessential surgeries. The aim of our study is to examine the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on otolaryngology surgical training by evaluating changes in surgical volumes through various time points relative to the height of the pandemic. Methods: We performed a retrospective review of all surgical cases performed by the Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery department at a tertiary care academic center from 3 time periods: July 1st, 2018, to June 30th, 2019; July 1st, 2019, to June 30th, 2020; and July 1st, 2020, to June 30th, 2021. Results: From the 2018-19 period to the 2020-21 period, the total number of overall cases decreased by 9.9%, from 2386 to 2148 cases. During this same time duration, the number of key indicator cases decreased by 13.4%, from 1715 to 1486 cases. Relative to other cases, ethmoidectomy, rhinoplasty, and stapes/OCR cases decreased the most during the 2019-20 period by 41.9%, 41.8%, and 29.5%, respectively. From the 2018-19 period to the 2020-21 period, thyroid/parathyroid cases decreased the most by 35.4%. Only ethmoidectomy and oral cavity cases showed increases during this period at 9.7% and 24.4%, respectively. Conclusions: Although case volumes have stayed relatively constant, key indicator case volumes at the present tertiary care academic center have not yet fully recovered from the COVID-19 pandemic. Efforts must be made to determine how this has impacted residency surgical education.
