Welcome message

We are honoured to once again present a team of exceptional lecturers who will join us to share their knowledge and expertise with the course participants during two days packed with theoretical information combined with practical experience. For the first time, we are delighted to welcome neurotologist Maja Stříteská to our faculty. She is a distinguished neurootologist with extensive experience in diagnosing and managing vestibular disorders. Her insights and expertise will help us, surgeons, more accurately interpret hearing tests and better understand the clinical pictures of initial signs of inner ear complications.

Prof. Danielle Marchioni has kindly agreed to personally attend and demonstrate his excellent surgical skills, as well as share his world-renowned expertise in endoscopic ear surgery. As a world leader in endoscopic ear surgery, he constantly pushes the boundaries of the field towards the inner ear. He is also the author of middle ear drawings that are used by many around the world. Last year, he kindly provided us with excellent prerecorded talks since he couldn’t attend in person.

Dr. Marco Bonali from Modena is a distinguished expert in the field of endoscopic ear and da Vinci robotic head and neck surgery. His extensive knowledge and experience in these specialized surgical modalities have earned him a reputation as a leading practitioner in the field.

Dr. Jan Vodička is one of the pioneering endoscopic ear surgeons in Czechia. He has been practising TEES for several years and has performed numerous endoscopic or combined approach cases. He is an excellent tutor, tirelessly sharing his insights with course attendees and generously mentoring them.

The upcoming course will take place at the Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry of Palacky University in Olomouc. Thanks to partnerships with Olympus and Radix CZ, the participants will have access to state-of-the-art endoscopic towers and specifically designed instruments. Additionally, attendees will have the opportunity to practice microsurgical techniques under endoscopic guidance using a 3D printed Otoskills trainer.


We are looking forward to meeting you in Olomouc.

Course

Introduction to the course
The course includes lectures, temporal bone dissection held in a step-by-step mode and panel discussions. Variety of lectures will cover all aspects of endoscopic ear surgery – principles, starting with ‘How to begin‘, equipment and instrumentation, OR set-up, raising tympanomeatal flap, endoscopic ear anatomy, basic and advanced techniques. The main emphasis will be given to hands-on temporal bone dissection.

Course objectives
This course aims to introduce endoscopic ear surgery techniques to ENT specialists and trainees. It will cover endoscopic ear surgery in its entirety. The course should provide necessary knowledge and expertise to allow participants to incorporate endoscopic ear surgery into their clinical practice.

Target audience
The course is intended for otorhinolaryngology residents, otology fellows, and otologists who would like to begin or deepen their knowledge and refine their skills in endoscopic ear surgery. The number of dissectors is strictly limited to 18 with a maximum of 10 additional observers. The course itself and lab dissection are suitable for both junior trainees and practising endoscopic ear surgeons. We offer an observer registration as well.
