Dear colleagues and friends,
It is a great pleasure to invite you to the Thessaloniki Rhino Days οn Μay 3-6 2023.
In a period of 4 days we will accommodate two international courses, one in rhinoplasty (2 days) and one endoscopic sinus surgery (2 days) with national and international faculty. There is a significant discount if one chooses to do both!
The courses will be organized in co-operation with the 1st Academic ENT Department at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and the Hellenic Rhinologic and Facial Plastic Society and are un- der the auspices of the European Rhinologic Society (ERS) and the European Academy of Facial Plastic Surgery (EAFPS).
Rhinoplasty course, May 3-4, 2023
There is no doubt that the functional and aesthetic surgery of the nose is a complex operation with a difficult learning curve and will always be a challenge for every Otorhinolaryngologist, Plastic Surgeon and Maxillofacial Surgeon.
The programme is structured in such a way that participants will be able to learn the basic techniques but will be also updated on the latest more advanced techniques of rhinoplasty. Dissection on fresh frozen specimens will provide training in surgical skills for the first 20 registered participants. Video sessions, case presentations, injectables and fillers in and around the nose will be organized by and discussed with the experts.
Endoscopic sinus surgery course, May 5-6, 2023
Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (ESS) has been evolving with tremendous speed over the last three decades. As expected, the demand for training in the endoscopic techniques is continuously growing. Participants will learn and improve their skills in ESS through lectures and cadaver dissections (for the first 20 registered). In the lab, participants will familiarize themselves with different applications of powered instrumentation. All lab stations will have image guidance.
We will try to meet the training needs of all participants, by tailoring their dissection plan according to their individual needs and training level (a questionnaire will be sent before the course).
Thessaloniki is a historic, cosmopolitan and multicultural city and the weather in May usually averages 24 degrees.
Looking forward to meeting you in Thessaloniki.
