Welcome message

We are honoured to once again
present a team of exceptional lecturers who will join us to share their
expertise during two intensive days of theoretical insight and hands-on
experience. The high demand for minimally invasive ear surgery among our
colleagues is truly inspiring, and we are grateful for the positive feedback
from previous years.

We are delighted to welcome Mustafa
Kapadia
, a Dubai-based ear and sinus surgeon of Indian origin. Having begun
his journey in endoscopic ear surgery with dr. Muaaz Tarabichi 13 years ago, he
now serves as the Director of education at the Tarabichi Stammberger Endoscopic
Surgery Institute. He is a passionate temporal bone and skull base surgeon and
a renowned international lecturer.

Joining him is Dr. Jan Vodička,
a pioneer of endoscopic ear surgery in Czechia. With years of experience in
TEES and vast portfolio of endoscopic or combined approach cases, he is an
outstanding mentor who is dedicated to sharing his clinical and practical
insights with the course participants.

The upcoming course will be held at
the Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry of Palacky University in Olomouc. Thanks
to partnerships with Olympus and Radix CZ,
participants will work with state-of-the-art endoscopic towers and specifically
designed instruments. Furthermore, each course participant will practice on two
fresh-frozen temporal bones, valued for their authenticity.


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.
