UCL Endoscopic Sinus Surgery & Rhinoplasty Course

Day 1

Day 1 is designed to provide surgeons with a structured update on both foundational and advanced topics in sinonasal and anterior skull base surgery. The carefully curated programme covers essential areas including frontal sinus anatomy, complications in FESS, anosmia management, biologics in refractory sinus disease, and a detailed introduction to trans-sphenoidal and extended endoscopic skull base approaches.

Additionally, delegates will benefit from surgical dissection on 3D printed models with common sinonasal pathologies. The expert faculty will demonstrate the surgical steps of simple endoscopic sinus surgery to more advanced approaches encouraging interactive learning and expert-led problem-solving.

Day 2

Day 2 will focus on Rhinoplasty Surgery and covers essential topics including nasal anatomy, the role of ligaments, and managing thick skin in rhinoplasty. It addresses common concerns in secondary rhinoplasty and offers strategies for nasal reconstruction in complex cases. Personal approaches to treating the deviated nose and congenital nasal deformities are shared, with attention to the alar base and premaxilla. Additional sessions explore modern techniques such as dorsal preservation anatomy of the nasal tip.

Like day 1, there will also be an opportunity to learn the practical skill of rhinoplasty surgery; from opening the nose and harvesting septal cartilage to reducing a dorsal hump. There will also be an opportunity to utilise powered instruments and a discussion about challenging rhinoplasty cases.
