PROGRAM – LAB DAYS (October 16-17)
Introduction
As in 2019, which was the first international sinus course to do so, this course will employ the latest cutting-edge high-fidelity 3D-printed sinus models provided by Fusetec (https://fusetec.com.au). Ultra-realistic in anatomic detail and tissue feel, these models offer significant advantages over cadaveric specimens including standardized and graded frontal sinus complexity, and CT imaging for surgical planning.
Learning Objectives
- Review endoscopic and radiologic sino-nasal anatomy, as well as pathophysiologic concepts of various common nasal diseases;
- Become familiar with the management of sino-nasal pathology, including the latest medical therapies as well as advanced ESS techniques, including the surgical steps of each technique;
- Be able to discuss the indications and contraindications of advanced ESS techniques;
- Understand and perform the surgical management of complications of ESS including CSF leak and ICA injury
- Become familiar with the instrumentation required;
- Be able to discuss the postoperative management after ESS.
