General Information


The course consists of three segments. During the first segment (June 10 - 12), lectures, videos and surgical demonstrations will be shown. Segment two are the anatomic dissections (June 13, already booked, you may register for the waiting list). Segment 3 is the workshop auricular reconstruction, which is held on June 13.
The Regensburg Course is specifically designed for residents (3rd year and higher) and surgeons in otorhinolaryngology, maxillofacial surgery, plastic surgery, dermatology and ophthalmologic surgery who would like to augment their surgical spectrum with facial rejuvenation techniques. Endoscopic brow- and mid face lift, classic extended SMAS and deep plane face lift, blepharoplasty, lasers and peels will be taught within a structured didactic concept, starting with the basics. Step by step demonstration of the  anatomy, surgical technique and indications of the procedures will be augmented by surgical videos and live demonstration of procedures. Besides facial rejuvenation techniques, rhinoplasty and otoplasty represent another focus of the course. Surgery of the nasal tip, control of the difficult dorsum and revision rhinoplasty will be included as well as incisionless techniques in otoplasty and correction of the ear lobe.

Fresh frozen cadaveric heads are available for registered participants to practice endoscopic and classic face lift techniques, rhinoplasty and more. Implants and endosuture devices are also available in the laboratory. Our faculty will be present during the dissections with ample time reserved for one on one teaching.

Each participant will receive a dissection manual produced in collaboration with Mayo Clinic. It depicts detailed descriptions and professional surgical drawings of the various techniques. 

The social events will take place in the most beautiful parts of Regensburg. We plan to give participants and faculty ample time for informal teaching and exchange in a relaxed atmosphere.

All instructions are in English. The program chairs have taken special care to ensure clear and concise presentation and didactics so that participants who are not fluent in English will easily be able to follow the program. Discussions and additional comments will also be translated into German.
