A 2.5-day hands-on advanced sinus, orbit and skull base surgery course for senior SpRs, consultants and other specialists.
Featuring a high faculty-to-delegate ratio, this course brings together surgical videos, live laboratory demonstrations, expert-led lectures and panel discussion on current and emerging approaches in sinonasal disease and skull base lesions, including CSF leaks and tumours.
The course includes a dedicated orbit session covering DCR, orbital decompression and orbital complications of ESS, with expert ophthalmologists on the faculty. Teaching is focused on practical, current strategies for optimum medical and surgical management of sinonasal disease.
Who should attend: Senior SpRs, consultants and other specialists wishing to improve their skills and knowledge in advanced sinonasal, orbit and skull base surgery. However the laboratory dissection can be tailored to delegates of varying experience in conjunction with the supervising faculty.
The outline below gives the planned structure for the course; timings and rooms may be refined before the event.
Registration from 12:15 followed by radiological anatomy, sinonasal anatomy, perioperative care, complication prevention, anaesthetic considerations, frontal sinus anatomy and the role of ESS in the biologics era.
