About the Journal

Otorhinolaryngology bridges medical management and surgical intervention across some of the body's most complex anatomical territories — where airway preservation can be life-saving, where microsurgical precision restores hearing, and where head-neck malignancies demand aggressive yet functional surgery. Kmed Journal of Otorhinolaryngology exists for the ENT surgeons, audiologists, and head-neck specialists advancing that care every day.

We publish original research, surgical case reports, clinical outcome studies, diagnostic innovations, and systematic reviews across the full breadth of otorhinolaryngologic practice. Whether you are reporting functional outcomes from endoscopic sinus surgery, documenting a rare laryngeal pathology, or evaluating hearing preservation after stapedectomy — if it advances how ENT conditions are diagnosed, treated, or prevented, it belongs here. Every submission undergoes rigorous peer review, and every published article is freely accessible to the global ENT community.

Scope & Focus Areas

We welcome submissions across all dimensions of otorhinolaryngology, including:

• Rhinology & Anterior Skull Base — chronic rhinosinusitis, nasal polyposis, FESS outcomes, CSF leak repair, and sinonasal tumors
• Otology & Neurotology — CSOM, hearing loss, tympanoplasty, mastoidectomy, stapedectomy, and cochlear implants
• Laryngology & Phonosurgery — vocal cord pathology, laryngeal malignancy, voice disorders, and airway reconstruction
• Head & Neck Oncology — oral, oropharyngeal, laryngeal, thyroid cancers, and neck dissection outcomes
• Pediatric ENT — adenotonsillar disease, congenital anomalies, foreign body aspiration, and otitis media
• Facial Plastics & Reconstructive Surgery — rhinoplasty, septoplasty, facial trauma, and reconstructive flap surgery
• Audiology & Hearing Science — audiometry, hearing aids, tinnitus, and vestibular disorders
• Sleep Medicine — obstructive sleep apnea, UPPP, and surgical management of snoring
• Thyroid & Parathyroid Surgery — thyroidectomy outcomes, recurrent laryngeal nerve preservation, and endocrine surgery
• Salivary Gland Disorders — sialolithiasis, sialadenitis, and parotid tumors
• Trauma & Emergency ENT — epistaxis management, temporal bone fractures, and airway emergencies
• Endoscopic Surgery — transnasal endoscopic approaches, endoscopic skull base surgery, and laser-assisted procedures

Peer Review You Can Trust Every manuscript is reviewed by subject-matter experts in otorhinolaryngology and head-neck surgery. We prioritize surgical outcomes, diagnostic accuracy, and functional results.

Fast Turnaround Initial editorial decision within 21 days. We understand that ENT residents preparing for exams and busy surgeons need timely publication decisions.

Author-Centered Process Dedicated editorial support from submission through publication — with guidance on endoscopic imaging presentation, audiometric data reporting, and surgical technique documentation.

Indexed & Discoverable Published articles are optimized for discoverability, ensuring your surgical outcomes and research findings reach the ENT surgeons and researchers who can learn from them.

Who Should Submit

Kmed Journal of Otorhinolaryngology is the right home for your work if you are a:

• MS ENT resident or DNB candidate with a case report, surgical audit, or functional outcome series
• ENT surgeon or head-neck oncologist with original research, complication analyses, or technique modifications
• Audiologist or speech-language pathologist with hearing outcome data or voice rehabilitation studies
• Faculty member or HOD in an ENT department looking to build departmental research output and visibility
• Maxillofacial surgeon, plastic surgeon, or allied specialist collaborating on head-neck reconstructive cases

If your work improves how ENT conditions are diagnosed, how airway is managed, or how hearing and voice are restored — this journal is for you.

Submit Your Work

Every FESS you performed, every tympanoplasty hearing outcome you documented, every head-neck cancer you resected with functional preservation — that surgical experience and outcome data matters beyond your operating theatre. Published, it becomes a resource for every ENT resident learning endoscopic techniques and every practitioner managing similar cases in resource-limited settings.
