Olympus Europa SE & co.KG

“Make the Move” towards modern technology in office-based Laryngology

Speakers: Markus Hess, Michal Zabrodsky

Programme:

MOVE from the OR to the office and discover an alternative way to perform ENT procedures. Recommended by multiple professional standards agencies, office-based ENT procedures are a viable alternative to conventional OR-based techniques. 

While the OR has been the main site for ENT procedures for many years, growing hospital backlogs have led to demand for treatment approaches that can help ease the burden.

With the use of innovative medical devices and software from Olympus, doctors may diagnose and treat patients in an outpatient environment, helping to clear the patient backlog, while also lowering hospital treatment costs, boosting efficiency, and improving patient comfort.

During this Symposium the following topics will be discussed:

• Office based treatment set up
• Local and verbal anesthesia
• Office based surgery, what is possible?
• The role of Imaging quality during procedures
• NBI as a supporting tool (Identification & Characterization of lesions)
• The role of AI for office-based laryngology

Last update on 15 May 2025.

The programme might be subject to necessary changes.
