Pre Meeting Satellite Workshops

Friday 30 March 2012

8:00am - 5:00pm

Advanced Otology Temporal Bone Course, Cochlear Implants and Implantable Hearing Devices Pre Satellite Meeting Venue: Dean Southwood Temporal Bone Laboratory, Modbury Hospital Outline and Objectives This satellite meeting is a 2 day intensive temporal bone dissection course. Aspects of advanced otology will be addressed with particular emphasis on cochlear implants and implantable hearing devices. Participants will have the opportunity to learn how to perform advanced otological procedures as demonstrated by an expert international faculty. The participants will then have the opportunity to practice these procedures on their own cadaver temporal bone under supervision. Current issues surrounding modern otology will be discussed. Although the course is geared towards participants wanting an advanced experience, registrars wishing to complete their prescribed temporal bone exercises will also be accommodated. Learning Outcomes (required a minimum of 3 points for CPD application) - current indications and cnadidacy for cochlear implantation - current surgical techniques for cochlear implantation - latest technology in implantable hearing devices - surgical techniques for these implantable hearing devices - update on advanced otological surgery including skullbase approaches Special Requirements - transport between course venue and conference venue will be provided Maximum Number of Participants - 28 dissectors and observers Lecturers Professor Shakeel Saeed (UK) Professor Barbara Wollenberg (Germany) Professor Gerard O'Donoghue (UK) Chris Raine (UK) Mr Iqbal Khan (UK) Local Faculty Phillip Chang (NSW ) Sharad Chawla (SA) Sheldon Chong (SA) Ron Gristwood (SA) Sonja Latzel (SA) Tony Marciano (SA) Robert Morrissey (SA) Gunesh Rajan (WA) Dean Southwood (SA) Michael Schultz (SA) Paul Varley (SA) Fri 30 March 0800 – 0830 Breakfast and Registration 0830 – 0930 Live Cadaveric Demonstration – Med-El Vibrant Soundbridge™ 0930 – 1100 Dissecting Lab exercise - Med-El Vibrant Soundbridge™ 1100 – 1115 Morning Tea 1115 – 1145 Auditorium - Selection of Paediatric Implant Candidates 1145 – 1245 Live Cadaveric Demonstration – Cochlear Implant 1245 – 1330 Lunch 1330 – 1530 Dissecting Lab exercise – Cochlear Implant 1530 – 1545 Afternoon Tea 1545 – 1615 Auditorium – Electroacoustic Stimulation 1615 – 1645 Live Cadaveric Demonstration – Ossicular Chain Reconstruction / Stapedectomy 1715 – 1745 Auditorium – Stapedectomy tips and pearls This will be a 2 day Satellite Meeting held on Friday 30 March and Saturday 31 March. .

8:30am - 5:00pm

AAFPS – Rhinoplasty – Form and Function Venue: Art Gallery of South Australia, North Terrace, Adelaide Outline and Objectives Run under the auspices of the Australasian Academy of Facial Plastic Surgery (AAFPS), this is a two day mini-symposium, focusing on all aspects of aesthetic/functional rhinoplasty. Although many basic topics will be covered, the meeting is intended to crystallize more advanced concepts for the rhinoplasty surgeon. These range from open-structure septoplasty, through nasal tip/nasal valve surgery and total nasal reconstruction. The first half day will also cover supportive facial plastic techniques such as Facial fillers, botox and laser as well as chin implants. Numbers are strictly limited, providing all delegates intimate interaction/discussion opportunity with the faculty. Several panel sessions will be available, including those where delegate cases can be discussed with the experts. Convenor: Steve Floreani Invited Faculty: Jonathon Sykes (California, US) – President AAFPRS Simon Robinson (Wellington, NZ) Nick McIvor (Auckland, NZ) Mark Izzard (Auckland, NZ) George Marcells (Sydney) Richard Harvey (Sydney) Michael Zacharia (Sydney) Tobias Pincock (Sydney) Paul Gerarchi (Sydney) And others If you are interested in attending this meeting please contact Tracy Heywood via email at or by phone on 08 9382 4800 You may can also download a copy of the registration brochure form the shout box on the home page of this website
