In recent years, the rise of globalism among Asian countries has become particularly noteworthy as evidenced by the increasing numbers of Asian citizens traveling internationally for various purposes. International exchanges have also become more prominent in the field of medicine. Recently, Nihon University, one of Japan's most prestigious private universities, and Thammasat University, one of Thailand's most prestigious national universities, had an opportunity for international exchange and collaborative research. As yet, there are no reports that have examined surgical operation and disease statistics between Japan and Thailand in the field of otolaryngology. Therefore, we conducted this study for the purpose of elucidating any tendencies with respect to surgical methods and diseases in Japan as compared with those in Thailand.

A further aim is to encourage international cooperation of surgical techniques and knowledge in the future. The current COVID-19 pandemic has rendered up to 15% of patients under mechanical ventilation. Because the subsequent tracheotomy is a frequent procedure, the three societies mostly involved  have setup a consensus paper that offers an overview about indications and contraindications of tracheotomy, be it by puncture or open, clarifying its respective advantages and enumerating the ideal conditions under which they should be performed, as well as the necessary steps. Regular and emergency situations are displayed together with the postoperative measures.
