2nd Taiwan International Advanced Sinus Dissection Course

2nd Taiwan International Advanced Sinus Dissection Course is organized by i-CONGRESS and will be held from Feb 24 - 26, 2023 at IRCAD Taiwan, Changhwa, Changhwa, Taiwan.,Description,Endonasal Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS) has evolved as the standard technique for the treatment of nearly all kinds of sinus diseases and many conditions beyond the sinuses. Its effectivity, however, is strongly dependent on sound knowledge of individual microanatomy, optimum handling of micro-instruments, and up-to-date surgical strategies. ,The ‘Advanced Sinus Dissection Course’ teaches current techniques of extended sinus surgery placing emphasis on demanding problems of the maxillary sinus, frontal and sphenoid sinus, orbita, pterygopalatine fossa, and the anterior skull base.,Special Highlights of this Course:,• Structured anatomic preparation, each step referring to clearly defined anatomical landmarks, after concise lectures and master dissection.,• Training places for dissection are well-equipped with HD-video endoscopy, a large variety of microsurgical instruments, a shaver and navigation.,• Intensive supervision with at least one experienced supervisor for two dissection places.,• Specific adjunctive course material, including access to essential videoclips of crucial surgical steps as well as accompanying hand-outs.,Each complete, nature-identical anatomical specimen is subject to preparation by two participants.,Topics:,• Welcome, introduction and hand-outs, systematic approach to equipment and instruments,• Specific anatomy in advanced endonasal surgery,• Special Feature: Principles of shaver technology, advantages and risks, indications, and contraindications, instructions for use,• Special Feature: Analysis of your specimen’s CT findings with a navigation system, set up of collision warning,• Systematic nasal endoscopy, septoplasty, turbinoplasty of the middle turbinate; Uncinectomy / infundibulotomy (a-p, p-a) and middle meatal antrostomy 1-3,• DCR,• Anatomy of the anterior ethmoid and frontal recess, anterior ethmoidectomy, anterior ethmoidal artery, frontal sinus drainage I, IIa;,• Frontal sinus drainage type III, reconstruction with free mucosal flaps and pedicled flap,• Posterior ethmoidectomy, sphenoidotomy (transnasal / transethmoidal / transethmoidal-transnasal), rescue flap,• Prelacrimal approach to the maxillary sinus,• Anatomy of pterygopalatine fossa; sphenopalatine artery, vidian nerve neurectomy, transpterygoidal extension of the sphenoidotomy,• Dissection of pituitary gland, transplanum-transsella approach,• Technique of transcribriform approach to the anterior skull base; video master nasoseptal flap, reverse flap,• Orbital decompression, optic nerve decompression,• Transpterygoid approach to Meckel’s Cave,• Nasopharyngectomy,• Clivus, internal carotid artery
