About
This workshop also features demonstrations by expert faculty utilising the latest 3D visualisation technology across a range of microsurgical procedures. It aims to improve surgical safety, operative confidence and procedural efficiency in a way that cannot be provided by routine surgical supervision or by other simulated environments.
The sessions are fully interactive with a high ratio of faculty to participants. Knowledgeable faculty will provide superior training and immediate feedback in a practical and controlled workshop environment. Limited Observer positions are available.
The Core Skills: ENT Sinus Surgery workshop is immediately followed by the complementary workshop Core Skills: Facial Plastic Surgery workshop. Participants are welcome to register for both workshops.
