Otolaryngology in Japan has witnessed a unprecedented advance during the past thirty years. The outburst of developments went hand in hand with the recent advances in natural science, technology and introduction of medical sciences from abroad, especially from the U. S. A. Divisions and branches of this descipline now number nearly ten including the Society of Bronchoesophagology and the Society of Audiology.
We look forward to seeing such changes and developments as follows;
1. Various diseases in otolaryngology will undergo modifications according to changes in the pattern of living.
2. Scientific and technological developments will lure otolaytngology into further subdivisinons.
3. Changes in the age distribution in the general population will add to the changing patterns of various diseases in otolaryngology. Pediatric and geriatric otolaryngology will see new horizons.
4. Immunology and genetics will play all the more important roles in shedding new light on etiology and pathogenesis of deieases. These will lead to more individual approach to each patient.
5. An organized management by the medical staff and the battery of medical technologies shall herald an ideal medical system in the future.
