Certificate Course in Laryngeal and Voice Modulation Surgery
No Seats Available. Registrations Closed
A variety of laryngeal problems can be treated using micro laryngeal surgery (also known as phono microsurgery) including benign vocal fold lesions, paralysis, scarring, leucoplakia and malignancy. These surgical techniques, along with cutting edge tools like LASERS, effectively remove vocal fold lesions while protecting the underlying healthy tissue. Compared to conventional laryngeal surgery, this method has a faster rate of recovery and a greater impact on voice quality.
These operations are virtually exclusively performed by a small number of referral centres that handle a sizable part of this pathology. For ethical, financial, or availability reasons, it is not advisable to learn on human subjects. In order to approach, learn, and improve laryngeal skills, a replicable method for setting up a laryngeal laboratory on ex vivo animal models is required. IMMAST’s structured training course offers trainees the unique platform to learn step-by-step techniques, without causing harm to patients, using an animal tissue model. The anatomical structure and tissue composition of porcine larynges are similar to those of human larynxes, and hands-on practice with this animal model simulates an inside-out viewpoint, which is essential for understanding the intricate laryngeal structure.
