Description
The basic three-days lasting workshop is grounded on sessions of live surgery, lectures and practical cadaveric dissection. After the presentation of the daily clinical cases, participants will attend live surgery projections and will debate the surgical procedures directly with the surgeons.
Lectures will relate to sinonasal surgical anatomy (macroscopic, endoscopic and
radiologic), and specific surgical techniques. Afternoon sessions of step-by-step tutorgiuded anatomical dissection will complete the programme. This course is addressed to ENT specialists or residents who desire to deepen their knowledge on treatment of sinonasal inflammatory pathology, benign tumors and management of possible complications.
Partecipants that attend the three-day course and pass a final examination, will
receive the Post Graduate University Diploma in Endoscopic Nose & Paranasal Sinus Surgery, of the University of Insubria in Varese.
