Current Management Techniques in Otology and Otolaryngology is a half day course and is included with registration for the Temporal Bone Lab course.

This year's course will have two main areas of focus. First will be current topics in otology. These will include lectures on evaluation and management of cholesteatoma, work up and differential diagnosis of vertigo, evidence based management of Meniere’s disease, discussion of the evolving techniques of endoscopic ear surgery and a discussion of current diagnostic techniques for identifying skull base tumors. There will also be a case-based discussion of complicated otologic patients loosely based on the lecture topics.

The second portion of the course will focus on epistaxis and its management. Lectures will cover the medical and surgical management of epistaxis and the interventional/endovascular approaches for management. There will also be cased base discussion to illustrate critical points in the work up and management of complicated nose bleeds.

Online registration will be open through Wednesday, October 25, 2017.
