12^th European Otolaryngology-ENT Surgery Conference

Rhinology – Sinus & Skull Base Surgery

Rhinology encompasses advanced management of nasal, sinus, and skull base disorders using precision-driven surgical techniques. High-definition endoscopic visualization and image-guided navigation systems have transformed sinus surgery, enabling safe access to complex anatomical regions. Innovations in balloon sinuplasty, powered instrumentation, and extended endoscopic approaches support effective treatment of chronic rhinosinusitis, nasal polyposis, and fungal infections. Expanded endonasal techniques now allow minimally invasive access to skull base tumors, cerebrospinal fluid leaks, and vascular lesions while reducing morbidity. Personalized treatment strategies integrate medical therapy, biologics, and surgical intervention to address inflammatory and structural disease components. Research in mucosal immunology and microbiome dynamics is reshaping understanding of chronic sinonasal disease. Continuous refinement of surgical instrumentation and postoperative care protocols enhances outcomes, patient comfort, and long-term disease control.
