Dear colleagues, dear friends,
This new issue of the journal is an opportunity to look back on our meetings last June in Bordeaux — a first for us in this beautiful city. I would like to extend my thanks to our hosts, in particular Dr. Christophe Debelleix from the Tivoli Center, and Drs. Amaury Daste and Charles Dupin, as well as to Stéphanie Roy for her flawless organization.

These meetings allowed us to review the many completed trials that will soon lead to new GORTEC publications, further strengthening its national and international reputation.
It was also a chance to discuss future perspectives and upcoming trials, many of which will be conducted in collaboration with Chinese industry partners, thanks to the major involvement of Dr. Tao.
We also witnessed the great momentum of the Young GORTEC group, with their literature reviews, the presentation of a survey, and the awarding of a Young Investigator Prize.

Once again, we were many in attendance — a reflection of the GORTEC group’s vitality and of the ORL intergroup as a whole — with the arrival of new participants and future recruiting centers, both public and private, further reinforcing our national network, true to GORTEC’s founding philosophy.

Let us remember that at GORTEC, “we never give up!”

I look forward, with great pleasure and enthusiasm, to seeing you all again at our next meeting in December 2025 in Charenton.
Gortec-ly yours,
