Temporal Bone Dissection and Cochlear Implant Surgery
Course Date:

Course Objective:
Temporal bone dissection now forms an integral part of offerings by ENT surgeons. Cortical mastoidectomy, facial nerve decompression and cochlear implantation are procedures that require precision and practice. This course aims to equip delegates to perform all standard surgeries of the mastoid. It will give surgeons at the advent of their practice greater confidence to operate safely and effectively and manage complications, if any.
