Course Overview 

This course has now been completely redesigned with a new concept of teaching endoscopic sinus surgery together with a new international faculty. 
6 modules of problem-based dissections. Each module consists of lectures on pathophysiology, indications for surgery and surgical approach, followed by a demonstration dissection and hands on Cadaver workshop. 
Advanced areas of surgical management will be covered.  
A Live surgery is planned on Friday morning.

Speakers
