The Nose Course: Inside and Out by University of Virginia (UVA)

The Nose Course: Inside and Out is organized by University of Virginia (UVA) and will be held from Mar 27 - 30, 2019 at Pinn Hall Conference Center (formerly Jordan Hall), Charlottesville, Virginia, United States of America. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 21.0 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)™.

The Nose: Inside and Out is designed to update participants on current approaches and innovative progress in otolaryngology. Technological and professional aspects of otolaryngologic care are undergoing rapid changes, making it difficult for practicing physicians to stay abreast of current best practices. The symposium is designed to address practice gaps in the areas of rhinoplasty, and endoscopic sinus and skull base surgery. Gaps to be addressed include the latest research and treatment related to:
• Learn pearls from a World Renown Faculty!
• Use of 3-D and morphing software to determine optimal rhinoplasty surgical goals
• Nuances with strategic graft placement
• Appropriate material selection and technique for CSF repair
• Endoscopic skull base and sinus surgery – inflammatory sinus surgery, endoscopic approaches to the
central and lateral skull base, endoscopic skull base reconstruction.
Presenters across multiple disciplines will describe a complete approach to patient care. Each session will include an opportunity for audience participation. Participants will gain knowledge and skills that, when applied in practice, will support improvement in outcomes in their patients.

Educational Objectives:
Rhinoplasty session, participants should be able to:
• Discuss the merits of various sources of grafts for use in rhinoplasty.
• Understand the purpose in different tip maneuvers in changing the nasal tip shape
and stability.
• Discuss various methods for reconstructing deficits of the nose.

Endoscopic sinus surgery session, participants should be able to:
• Discuss the evolving understanding of the different classifications of chronic sinusitis.
• Understand current recommendations for maximal medical therapy for chronic sinusitis
depending on classification.
• Discuss mucosal sparing techniques in functional endoscopic sinus surgery.

Endoscopic skull base session, participants should be able to:
• Identify crucial endoscopic landmarks for skull base surgery.
• Develop an algorithm for endoscopic versus external approach to skull base lesions.
• Understand vascular anatomy underlying endoscopic skull base reconstructive options
