Interventional Endoscopy of Nose, Paranasal Sinuses, and Middle Ear

Friday, June 16, 2023
4:30 PM – 6:00 PM ET
Location: PCC 113AB
CE: 1.5

BASIC: 1. Understanding nasal anatomy – and the secret pathways through the nose. 2. Rigid endoscopy of the entire nasal cavity without flushing – technique, tips and tricks and complication avoidance.


ADVANCED:  1. More than just looking around – a step-by-step approach to intranasal endoscopic intervention Tissue manipulation: from targeted biopsy to ablation. 2. The more hidden caves – endoscopic exploration of the three paranasal sinuses and the middle ear.


The following ENT disease patterns and endoscopic procedures are addressed with video and CT images (dog and cat):


Nasal cavity: Malformations (brachycephaly, miniaturization, stenoses); trauma sequelae (stenoses and obstructions, malpractice); rhinitis; sinonasal masses (malignant and benign; targeted biopsy and biopsy-expanded ablation; endonasal endoscopic tumor ablation)


Paranasal sinuses: (access to and intervention in all three nasal sinuses; sinusitis; sinonasal aspergillosis and complications)


Middle ear: Otitis media and sequelae (nasopharyngeal and aural polyps, myringotomy, septum bullae trephination - access to ventromedial compartment)



Learning Objectives:

  • ... list and identify the nasal endoscopic landmarks and describe a standard exploratory pathway through the nasal cavity for rigid endoscopy
  • ... discuss the advantages of targeted biopsies; identify, manipulate, and discriminate suspicious tissue types and explain the steps necessary to expand from biopsying to ablating tissue
  • ... reflect on the pathophysiological relationships of diseases of the nose, paranasal sinuses and middle ear based on the anatomical characteristics. ... describe the endoscopic approach to all three paranasal sinuses and the middle ear - and list the equipment necessary for interventional procedures
