Central European Endoscopic Ear Surgery Course 2024

We are honoured to once again present a team of exceptional lecturers who will join us to share their knowledge and expertise with the course participants during two days packed with theoretical information combined with practical experience. For the first time, we are delighted to welcome neurotologist Maja Stříteská to our faculty. She is a distinguished neurootologist with extensive experience in diagnosing and managing vestibular disorders. Her insights and expertise will help us, surgeons, more accurately interpret hearing tests and better understand the clinical pictures of initial signs of inner ear complications.

Prof. Danielle Marchioni has kindly agreed to personally attend and demonstrate his excellent surgical skills, as well as share his world-renowned expertise in endoscopic ear surgery. As a world leader in endoscopic ear surgery, he constantly pushes the boundaries of the field towards the inner ear. He is also the author of middle ear drawings that are used by many around the world. Last year, he kindly provided us with excellent prerecorded talks since he couldn’t attend in person.

Dr. Marco Bonali from Modena is a distinguished expert in the field of endoscopic ear and da Vinci robotic head and neck surgery. His extensive knowledge and experience in these specialized surgical modalities have earned him a reputation as a leading practitioner in the field.

Dr. Jan Vodička is one of the pioneering endoscopic ear surgeons in Czechia. He has been practising TEES for several years and has performed numerous endoscopic or combined approach cases. He is an excellent tutor, tirelessly sharing his insights with course attendees and generously mentoring them.

The upcoming course will take place at the Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry of Palacky University in Olomouc. Thanks to partnerships with Olympus and Radix CZ, the participants will have access to state-of-the-art endoscopic towers and specifically designed instruments. Additionally, attendees will have the opportunity to practice microsurgical techniques under endoscopic guidance using a 3D printed Otoskills trainer.

We are looking forward to meeting you in Olomouc.
