Contemporary primary rhinoseptoplasty is becoming fascinatingly complex. The predictability of Structural techniques is being challenged by the only apparently easy Preservation concepts. Techniques are multiple and variations are many. Flexibility in intraoperative choices, attention to detail and mastery of multiple tips and tricks increasingly matter. The scenario is not simple, but the game is worth the challenge since results are better and better meet the expectations of patients who don’t want a copycat result but rather an individualized nose.

Hybrid Open Rhinoplasty combines Structural and Preservation concepts drawing the best of both. Piezo and Power tools can then well be combined together for different and complementary indications, regarding both the manipulation of nasal bones as well as a precise septoplasty.

This specific, intensive, course, in a classroomlike one-to-one format, will allow attendees to spend 3 days in HD connection with the operating room, as well as be exposed to lectures and videos on the many issues and current refinements I employ in hybrid primary open rhinoplasty. I will share my favorite techniques, in all their details and nuances on 5 cases of variable complexity. An EXTRA CASE on Secondary Rhinoplasty with finesse Rib Grafting will also be added, free of charge, on Wednesday morning for those who are interested. The official program will start on December 4, at 14.15, as per the original schedule, but the attendees who have the possibility of getting earlier to the course venue can watch an EXTRA CASE on Rib Grafting on December 4, starting at 08.30. The bus transfer from the city center to the course venue is scheduled at 13.30 on December 4, in connection with the official meeting program (please visit the page “How to arrive”).

It is my belief that this course will allow, due to its format and the limited number of attendees, a special and unique learning experience.
