Endoscopic Ear Course

Objectives

This course aims to introduce Endoscopic Ear Surgery (EES) as a minimally invasive technique for the diagnosis and management of external, middle, and inner ear pathologies, with applications extending to lateral skull base interventions. Key objectives include:

• Presenting EES as a modern standard of care alongside conventional microscopic approaches.
• Demonstrating its application in managing a wide spectrum of conditions such as safe and unsafe middle-ear disease, otosclerosis, glomus tympanicum tumours, ventilation tube insertion, and middle-ear exploration.
• Highlighting the role of endoscopy, either as a stand-alone or adjunctive tool, in managing complex pathologies up to cerebellopontine angle (CPA) lesions, with an emphasis on minimally invasive surgical interventions.

Rhinology Endoscopic Course

Objectives

Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS) is one of the most performed procedures in otolaryngology. The primary objective of this course is to enhance postgraduate trainees’ surgical training by:

• Defining the learning outcomes required to become independent and competent ENT and rhinology surgeons.
• Introducing advanced, minimally invasive, state-of-the-art endoscopic surgical instruments and techniques.
• Equipping participants with the skills necessary to deliver precision-based surgical care for patients with sinonasal disorders.

Sialendoscopy Course

Objectives

Sialendoscopy is a minimally invasive endoscopic procedure for evaluating and treating salivary gland ductal system disorders. This course seeks to:

• Introduce sialendoscopy as the contemporary standard of care in the management of salivary gland ductal pathologies, including sialolithiasis, strictures, and benign conditions such as juvenile recurrent parotitis (JRP), Sjögren’s syndrome, and radiation-induced sialadenitis (including post-radioactive iodine therapy).
• Emphasise gland-preserving approaches for both parotid and submandibular glands to improve patient quality of life.
• Train participants in the use of advanced, minimally invasive, precision endoscopic instruments and surgical techniques for optimal outcomes.
