This is an intensive, highly interactive course which is suitable for higher surgical trainees (ST3 – 8) in Otolaryngology, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and Plastic Surgery, or surgeons (Clinical Fellows, Specialty Doctors, Associate Specialists, Consultants) aiming to learn contemporary techniques in rhinoplasty surgery. The course programme aims to provide a theoretical and practical overview of the aesthetic anatomy of the nose, and surgical principles of hybrid rhinoplasty, dorsal preservation rhinoplasty and closure of septal perforation.
The two-day course will consist of tutorials and supervised dissections on Thiel embalmed cadavers and simulated rhinoplasty surgery on Fusetec 3D printed models at the state-of-the-art anatomy laboratory at the University of Liverpool.
Supported by experienced rhinoplasty surgeons, delegates will learn the surgical steps and techniques of rhinoplasty surgery. Cartilage harvesting (conchal bowl, rib) will be included in the learning outcomes, as is hands-on exposure to allograft cartilage. The course aims to cover knowledge and skill competencies required for the Intercollegiate Surgical Curriculum Programme for higher surgical training.
