RECONSTRUCTION OF THE MIDDLE EAR
17. - 19. November 2024
2. INTERNATIONAL MASTER COURSE HAMBURG

Dear Colleagues,

functional reconstruction of the middle ear is a challenge faced by otologists on a daily basis. The choice of material, tissues and prosthesis is of great importance. The topics of  individual optimized PORP, TORP and Stapes prostheses will be interactively presented in talks and thoroughly discussed. We will have hands-on models on site for you to experience the differences in sound transmission caused by alternate techniques. Furthermore, we will provide access to live surgery and look forward to a vivid discussion of cases and procedures with you. We will be joined by renowned Prof. Vedat Topsakal, Brussels (Belgium), Prof. Dr. Serena Preyer, Karlsruhe (Germany) and Prof. Marcus Neudert, Dresden (Germany).

The City of Hamburg, Germany’s largest sea port, welcomes you with a wealth of cultural and culinary experiences.

We are looking forward hosting you here in Hamburg.

Prof. C.S. Betz                        Prof. M. Praetorius
