Description

This French language 1-day course aims at refining participants’ knowledge of temporal bone anatomy and covers teaching on basic and advanced surgical approaches in otology.

It includes a short theoritical session and surgical dissection on a fresh frozen head using power instruments.

Lead by Dr Decat and Dr Gregoire from UCL St Luc.
