Description:
After two tremendously successful courses in 2018 and 2019, we are excited to present again the only course of its kind in the New York metropolitan area, and one of a select few in the world. Our courses have sold out to maximum capacity in past years. This fun and exciting hands-on course will introduce cutting-edge surgical techniques and the latest advances in patient care, including transcanal endoscopic ear surgery, transnasal Eustachian tube surgery (including balloon dilation), and advances in endoscopic sinus surgery, skull base surgery, and endoscopic orbital surgery. This is also the first surgery course to include dedicated endoscopic orbital surgery instruction!

Our course is structured to provide participants with valuable techniques, tips, and pearls to bring new developments directly into their offices and ORs. New for 2020, the course is 3-days long with flexible registration (participants may attend 1, 2, or all 3 days). Each day includes a combination of lectures and hands-on cadaver dissections with lab preceptors and instructors.

All Days Feature Lectures Plus Dissection Labs. Participant Registration is Flexible.
Day 1: Wed, June 3, 2020 - Endoscopic Ear and Eustachian Tube Surgery
Day 2: Thu, June 4, 2020 - Endoscopic Sinus, Skull Base, and Eustachian Tube Surgery
Day 3: Fri, June 5, 2020 - Endoscopic Orbital Surgery

The course faculty features influential leaders from around the world. Our target audience includes regional, national, and international otolaryngologists, including both general community otolaryngologists as well as subspecialists and academic practitioners, in addition to ophthalmologists and oculoplastic surgeons on Day 3. The course will be open to surgeons at all levels of training, from experienced attending physicians to residents-in-training. Participants may register for any combination of days.
