This  Septorhinoplasty Instructional Course delivers a comprehensive educational experience led by a distinguished faculty of highly experienced surgeons. Designed for trainees and practicing clinicians alike, the program features structured lectures alongside detailed surgical demonstrations, offering clear insight into contemporary techniques in both functional and aesthetic nasal surgery including the use of Piezo instruments.
 
A key feature of the course is the integration of high-quality 3D-printed anatomical models within demonstrations, enabling precise visualisation of critical surgical steps such as septal correction, graft placement, and osteotomies. These models closely replicate patient anatomy, enhancing understanding of surgical planning, technique, and expected outcomes. Focused on clarity, precision, and real-world application, this course provides a high-value learning experience.

Coblation has become an important part of modern ENT practice, particularly for some of our most commonly performed procedures. But getting the best from the technology requires more than simply knowing how to use the wand. Technique, efficiency and an understanding of the technology all matter.

This full day workshop will provide a practical and comprehensive approach to coblation surgery, with a major focus on coblation tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy, as well as techniques for turbinate surgery. The programme will also introduce the expanding role of coblation within the larynx, including available laryngeal wands, their applications and practical techniques for safe and effective use.
With a recognised learning curve associated with coblation, the workshop is designed to help surgeons develop confidence, refine their technique and use the technology more efficiently. Experienced faculty will share practical tips, common pitfalls and the small technical adjustments that can make a significant difference in everyday operating.

Whether you are new to coblation or already using it regularly and looking to improve your technique, this workshop offers an opportunity to develop practical skills that can be taken directly back to the operating  theatre. 

Join us at ORL 2026 for a full day of practical, hands on coblation education.
