21st TSESI Endoscopic Ear, Endoscopic Sinus & Anterior Skull Base Hands-On Cadaver Dissection Course

We are pleased to announce the 21st TSESI Endoscopic Ear, Endoscopic Sinus & Anterior Skull Base Hands-On Cadaver Dissection Course on 22 – 24 April 2024 at Neuro Spinal Hospital, Dubai

This one-of-a-kind course will showcase the expertise and knowledge of world-renowned surgeons in the field of Endoscopic Ear, Endoscopic Sinus, and Anterior skull base surgeries. This course will provide a comprehensive overview of the surgical anatomy of the Ear and Sinuses, different techniques & approaches in EES, FESS, and Anterior skull base surgery.

The faculty will guide the participants from the consultation to the management of the most challenging cases. This course will be accomplished with didactic lectures, pre-recorded surgical videos, and hands-on cadaver dissection sessions.

Steps to be followed during Endoscopic dissection of the Middle Ear:

Initial evaluation of individual strengths and weaknesses during Endoscopic ear surgery
Surgical Installation for endoscopic ear dissection
Endoscopic inspection of the EAC, cleaning of the ear canal.
Outline the vascular strip.
Removal of canal skin along with the epithelial layer of TM.
Enlargement of the ear canal.
Elevation of the annulus up to 3 and 9 o’clock:
Separate the remnant of the TM from the malleus handle and umbo.
Take down the bony annulus posteriorly to gain full access to the facial recess and sinus tympani.
Take down any “inferior overhang” and enlarge the access to the inferior retrotympanum and hypotympanum, next inspect the hypotympanum.
Perform limited atticotomy with meticulous care.
Proceed with removing the whole scutum including the lateral incudo-mallear folds, and expose the whole incus along with the malleus head.
Mobilize the incus to expose the articular facet with malleus and stapes. Then, proceed with disarticulating the stapes and malleus from the incus.
Next, transect the neck of the malleus at a relatively superior level in order to preserve the anterior mallear ligament and the tensor tympani tendon.
Transect the tensor tympani tendon and remove the malleus handle.
Using a curette or a drill, if available, attempt to slowly remove the bony encasement of the facial nerve, starting with the horizontal segment and following the nerve proximally and distally into the first and second genus.
