An Introduction To Advanced Techniques in Endoscopic Sinus Surgery

Educational 2 day event based at the Cambridge brain mapping lab within Cambridge University Hospital in partnership with B. Braun Aesculap power systems. This course is aimed at senior registrars, consultants and ENT & skull based surgeons with a good knowledge of rhinology and drill use.

The 1:2 faculty/delegate ratio will allow for intensive teaching through interactive lectures and case discussions and cadaveric dissection based the lectures delivered. The faculty are all international fellowship trained in Advanced Rhinology and Anterior Skull base surgery.

AIMS & OBJECTIVES

Introduce surgeons who are competent in endoscopic sinus surgery to techniques that can broaden their options in the management of sinonasal disease that is not amenable to standard endoscopic techniques.

Give delegates an overview of advanced sinus dissection techniques, their indications and applications through lectures and case presentations and then allow these delegates to utilise this knowledge through practical dissection of cadaveric specimens.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

The course will equip delegates with an understanding of surgical indications and operative techniques for advanced sinus access for:
- Extended maxillary sinus approaches, pterygopalatine fossa and infratemporal fossa
- Extended frontal sinus approaches including Endoscopic medial Lothrop (Draf III) surgery
- Approaches to the central skull base – pituitary / optic nerve / cavernous sinus
- Approaches to the anterior cranial fossa and endoscopic craniofacial resection
- Trans-orbital corridors to the skull base
- Delegates should be confident in use of a drill in the nose and paranasal sinuses by the end of the course
