Flexible nasal endoscopy (FNE) is a useful adjunct in diagnosis and follow-up of oncology patients as well as in airway assessment. Proficiency in this technique is also listed as part of the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (OMFS) curriculum. We aimed to explore OMFS trainee perceptions of training and confidence in this technique.
