Invitation & Highlights

Dear colleagues

Please note, that the "Hands-on FESS course (basic)" with dissection is fully booked.

We offer the participation WITHOUT dissection, including master dissection, lectures, course materials, but not own cadaver dissection. The fee is accordingly reduced to 625 €.

There will be a list for successors in the event that places with dissection will be available. We can put you on this list, if you give us a short notice.

We are very happy to invite you to the 6th International Hands-on FESS Course. The course is designed as a high-end training for sinus surgeons starting with endoscopic sinus surgery and for those who want to refresh the current state-of-the art knowledge and methods.

Endonasal ‘Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery’ (FESS) has evolved as the standard technique for treatment of nearly all kinds of sinus disease. It’s effectivity, however, is strongly dependent on a sound knowledge of individual microanatomy, optimum handling of microinstruments and up to date surgical strategies.

The International Hands-on FESS Course teaches current techniques of endoscopic sinus surgery with the main focus on participants practicing dissection.

Special Highlights of this Course

• Structured anatomic preparation, each step referring to clearly defined anatomical landmarks, after concise lectures and master dissection.
• Training places for dissection are well-equipped with HD-videoendoscopy, a large variety of microsurgical instruments, shaver and navigation.
• Intensive supervision with at least one experienced supervisor for two dissection places.
• Specific adjunctive course material, including access to essential videoclips of crucial surgical steps as well as accompanying hand-outs are inclusive as well as
• Participation at our course dinner on Thursday evening.

Each complete, nature-identical anatomical specimen is subject to preparation by two participants.

We would be pleased to welcome you in the remarkable ambience of the Institute of Clinical Anatomy in the historical university city of Tübingen
