REPORT ON OTO FESS 2016
OTOFESS - 2016
The
Department of Oto-Rhino-Laryngology and Head & Neck Surgery had organized OTOFESS 2016 - Live Surgical Workshop
in the field of Otoendoscopy, Open Ear Surgery and Functional Endoscopic Surgery
on 4th and 5th of June 2016. Eminent Surgeons like Dr
Ravi Ramalingam from Chennai, Dr George Varghese from Cochin, Dr Sabari Girish
from Bangalore and Dr R N Patil from Belgaum were on the panel.
130
plus delegates attended this workshop. It was a surgical feast which got a lot
of appreciation from both – the delegates as well as the faculty. Surgical demonstration of around 9 cases was
conducted which was a milestone in itself as so many cases are difficult to be
shown in only one and a half day of workshop which was much liked by everyone. Difficult surgeries like facial nerve
decompression, lateral fistula repair, revision FESS, endoscopic stapedotomy to name a few, were demonstrated.
The management was very
supportive all through the preparation and helped the organizers in every possible
way. The Department hopes to conduct many such events in the future as well.
