The 1st Antwerp BOT Dissection Course:
After many years of experience with the Bony Obliteration Tympanoplasty technique (BOT) at our department, the European Institute for ORL-HNS, with excellent results (very low recurrence and residual rate), as shown during the long term follow up with by non-EP Diffusion Weight MRI, we are proud to present you the first Antwerp Bony Obliteration Tympanoplasty Course (Antwerp BOT Course). In our fully equipped SkillsLab we will teach you all the practical skills needed to perform a state of the art bony obliteration. In short theoretical lectures we will explain our philosophy. The radiological pre-operative work-up and postoperative follow-up, which are a necessary prerequisite for safely and successfully applying the BOT, will be taught by our world leading radiologists in the otological field.
