Course Description:

This course is designed for the practicing otolaryngologist who wishes to enhance his or her knowledge of upper aerodigestive tract endoscopy in adults and children.  This is a hands-on simulation course with use of mannequins for practice of upper endoscopy in the airway and esophagus. Virtual participation in the course is also available.

The course reviews the necessary components of endoscopic equipment, the assembly of equipment and the anatomical nuances of upper endoscopy in children and adults. The course is approximately two hours duration and will include a short didactic lecture reviewing the equipment, anatomy and techniques for diagnostic endoscopy and foreign body retrieval with case presentations.  This will be followed by an opportunity to assemble the equipment and practice endoscopy in mannequins while receiving feedback from the course faculty.

Course Objectives:

After active participation in this update meeting, participants will be able to:

  • Identify and assemble the appropriate instrumentation for upper aerodigestive tract endoscopy in children and adult
  • Perform rigid bronchoscopy and esophagoscopy
  • Communicate management algorithms for various aerodigestive foreign bodies

Introduction:

The current pandemic has adversely affected our ability to hold and attend traditional in-person dissection courses. However, with advances in telesimulation and 3D-printing technology, we are able to offer many of the benefits of a traditional sinus course, while respecting public health measures and even improving upon certain aspects of the usual lab formats.

This course will be held in 3 laboratories across the country, located in Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver, allowing up to 30 Otolaryngologists (10 in each of the host cities) to attend the dissection sessions. The workshop will consist of 3 hours of hands-on dissections interspersed with live demonstrations by faculty. Each lab will boast 5 dissection stations, equipped with a full array of sinus instruments and state of the art powered equipment, video displays and available navigation. Like at the North American Masterclass in 2019, high-fidelity ultra-realistic sinus models will be used, that can be dissected and drilled just as would a cadaver specimen. Participants will get to perform surgery on the models, with stepwise approach to each of the sinuses, supported by model specific CT imaging. Enrollment would be open to practicing surgeons, advanced trainees and fellows.

This telesimulation format has been tried and tested earlier this year at McGill in the form of a resident sinus course and has had overwhelmingly positive reviews from trainees and faculty alike. Among the many aspects of the course that attendees appreciated, the presence of a dedicated faculty member remotely supervising each station was one of the most unique and advantageous over traditional courses.

 Learning Objectives:

After attending this workshop, otolaryngologists will:

  • Review endoscopic and radiologic sino-nasal anatomy important for safe and successful sinus surgery;
  • Develop a surgical plan for performing ESS, including the sphenoethmoidectomy and frontal recess dissection, based on case-specific CT anatomy.
  • Become familiar with the instrumentation required.
