On behalf of the American Academy of Otolaryngology—Head and Neck Surgery and its members, we, the Board of Directors, express our deepest condolences to our colleagues of the Japanese Society of Otorhinolaryngology for the victims of the tragic earthquake and tidal waves in Japan on March 11, 2011.

We value our friendship with the Japanese Society, which will be honored at our annual meeting in San Francisco in September, so Japan is very much in our thoughts and prayers at this time, especially the otolaryngology community at Tohoku University Medical School and others in Sendai City and Miyagi Prefecture.  

We extend the sincere sympathies of our Academy members to the families and friends of those who died and our wishes that the suffering may soon be eased in the communities that were affected.
