Annuncement

SUBMIT BIODATA


  1st announcement for 1st Otological implants workshop (with hands on temporal bone dissection)   to be held at Sir Ganga Ram hospital, New Delhi from 13th to 15th October 2012
The ENT Department & Cochlear Implant Unit of Sir Ganga Ram Hospital will be organizing the  1st Otological Implants Workshop with hands-on temporal bone dissection, between 13 to 15 October 2012. The workshop will include live surgeries of cochlear implantation, BAHA, middle ear implants etc, lectures, panel discussions, interactive sessions on Day 1 followed by hands on temporal bone dissection to take the delegates through the steps of otological surgery including Cochlear Implantation on Day 2 & 3.              
This is perhaps the first time in the country that a course is being conducted with hands on temporal bone dissection dedicated to teaching CI surgery in addition to the standard dissection. This will give a feel to the delegates of performing the actual steps involved in this advanced otological procedure. Those delegates shortlisted for the hands-on on the temporal bone dissection will be provided with wet temporal bones, microscope, dummy CI electrode arrays, micromotor drills & burrs, suction irrigators, etc. Our experienced faculty will be around to guide you with the various steps of the surgical procedure.  We aim at 7-8 hours of drilling time to each delegate enrolled for the temporal bone dissection. The dissection session will start with a demonstration of steps of CI surgery on the screen on wet temporal bone&/or live patient. Seats for the hands on temporal bone dissection will be limited.
Since our course is aimed at giving a hands-on feel of CI surgery, we feel the hands-on temporal bone dissection will benefit only those who already have reasonable experience in performing otological procedures independently. With this end in view, we will screen the biodatas of candidates for hands on temporal bone dissection.  The biodata in the proforma as enclosed must reach the conference secretariat positively by 14th August 2012. Please mail the biodata to :-
Dr Shalabh Sharma, E  14 / 4 b, Vasant Vihar, New Delhi    110057
Or email to-  otoimplantunit@yahoo.com




Day 1 : Live surgery workshop with lectures and panel discussion on CI (For all delegates)
Days 2 & 3 : Temporal bone dissection with lectures (For those registered for Temporal Bone    Dissection)


Formal brochure & detailed programme of the workshop will follow on this website later.
Since places for the hands on temporal bone dissection will be limited, please send only your bio-datas for screening as soon as possible.  Please do not send registration fees at this stage.

Comment of the day..What would be ENT after 50 years...?Imagine....

‎Learning ENT

1.stem cells.. at least.. in next few years...
no cochlear implants for deafness, no suffering for anosmia

2. Regeneration of resected organs, larynx, tongue and mandible...

3. Nanomites for surgery.. programmable microrobots infused in body and programmed to resect the site, after which they will get extruded from the area leaving the site for reconstruction

4. identification of hitherto unknown agent for cancer, and cancer vaccination.

5. thin fibre endoscopes, no need to resect turbinates and septum for access to difficult area.

6. like capsule endoscopy, development of micro vehicles with camera to enter sinuses and middle ear via ETO and give high resolution inside view

7. swallowing triggered totally implantable pumps for ETO which will pump in air in ME cleft periodically so to prevent the whole process for retracted tm and cholesteatoma.

8. command operated robotic surgery.. just guide the robot to the area and tell it what all parts to resect and monitor its job.. drink your tea and catch up on the newspaper while it does the job..

‎9. CT scan would be out.. holograms would take their place.. you would be able to scan the patient and then project the hologram in your clinic, magnify it and walk through the patient's sinuses and middle ears as you see the disease and plan the management...

10. Antibiotics would be out, you would have boosters for T cells and NK cells..

11. All healthcare will be government owned and managed. private healthcare concept would be out..

Milano Masterclass,2013

 
WEBSITE
Dear Colleague and Friend,
Since its conception over a decade ago, the Milano Masterclass has amazed its founders and participants with an exponential growth rate, increasing popularity, and the ability to evolve and encompass new fields of knowledge. Milano Masterclass has surpassed all our expectations, becoming the best attended event in Europe and one of the top 3 worldwide. Milano Masterclass’ hallmark of featuring the most innovative and talented surgeons practicing today continues to attract surgeons from around the world. The number of participants gives witness to the success of Milano Masterclass from its inception in the year 2001: more than 2000 participants, from 82 different countries have visited us in the past 10 years. Patients throughout the world have greatly benefited from teaching surgical skills at the highest level. The 7th edition of Milano Masterclass will introduce exciting new ideas and top-surgeons from around the globe, foster the cohabitation of diversity with unanimity, and expand the gold standards of best practice. While the first half of the Masterclass will concentrate on cutting edge techniques in endoscopic sinus and skull base surgery, the latter half will explore the spectrum of rhinoplasty from minimally invasive measures to radical, structural changes. The participants will have ample time to immerse themselves in the hottest contemporary aspects through a problem-solving format. Other sessions will utilise case discussions to highlight pitfalls in practice, shed light onto current safe techniques, and provide examples of excellence in everyday practice with the aid of videos and case-discussions. One of the key aspects of the Masterclass will consist of a series of video-clips called "Images in Motion." In order to avoid the lengthy and at times tedious nature of live surgery - some rhinoplasties in live surgery sessions last longer than a liver transplant - the video demonstrations will allow the participants to virtually enter the operating room. Experts will then guide the participants through the technique in great detail, thereby providing them with a documented approach to the results of the procedure. The 7th edition of Milano Masterclass will also offer a new and unique opportunity: the one-day “Intensive Training Camp” on March 27 will concentrate on creating the fundamentals for a successful career in facial plastic surgery, and learning the finer points of surgical practice from internationally acclaimed masters. While younger surgeons will learn about the most important pillars of excellence in practice, more seasoned practitioners will have the opportunity to refresh their ideas in critically important areas. As we are seeking new ideas from around the world, each segment will feature on “Open Free-Papers Forum”. So, if you wish to share a personal innovation with an international audience, welcome to the 7th edition of Milano Masterclass. If you have missed this meeting in previous years, make sure that you will be with us in 2013. For those who have attended previous editions, we will ensure that you will love again the experience of being fully immersed in this special event. Historic Milan, famed for her architecture, hidden corners, world-renowned fashion houses, and fine cuisine will be a terrific setting for this world-class meeting. Get ready to think differently. Come and join us in Milan in March 2013! Paolo Castelnuovo, MD Pietro Palma, MD Co-Directors, International Milano Masterclass
