Miniseminar: Ask the experts: An endoscopic sinus surgery potpourri

Abstract

This popular panel provides an open forum for interactive discussion of the management options and the decision rationale involved in difficult sinus cases and complicated treatment situations. A case presentation format will be utilized with presentations from each of the panelists. Questions regarding differential diagnosis, evaluation, and treatment are posed to the audience in multiple choice format. The responses provided by the audience response system are then discussed and expanded on by the panelist. Each panelist has been chosen because of their depth of knowledge in the field and because of the clarity of their presentations. Particular emphasis will be placed on the decision-making process and on frontal sinus disease, revision surgery, fungal sinusitis, and the management of more common tumor. The rationale behind each recommendation will be carefully elucidated. Discussion from the floor is encouraged. (Audience touch-pad participation will be limited to the number of devices available or on a first-come, first-served basis).
