International Mastercourse on Endoscopic Sinus Surgery 2013

Advanced Master Course on Extended ESS has shown to be attractive and needed. The course is in tradition of our original international course on endoscopic sinus surgery of the paranasal sinuses that was organized between the University of Cologne (Lindenthal - University HNO Klink) and the University Hospital - Free University Brussels (UZ Brussel). The cooperation between neurosurgery in the field of extended endoscopic sinus surgery including the pterygopalatine fossa and the pituitary gland has made the course highly interesting particularly in life surgery.

This dynamic combination of lectures, live-operations, demonstrations and intensive hands-on laboratory dissection of cadaver material (workshops) (all heads provided with CT-scans!) is designed to update and enhance the skills of ENT surgeons. This course provides a study of the surgical anatomy, pathology and radiology of the paranasal sinuses.

The aim of the event is to provide a forum with concepts in the areas of rhinology and endoscopic paranasal surgery, skull base and beyond, a type of surgery that represents one of the major advances in the field of the last decade, in an environment which allows interaction and discussion with the renowned international faculty. We are happy to provide also a comprehensive instructional course with ample learning opportunities for all. All faculty members and speakers have confirmed their participation!
