Temporal Bone Lab
Education and training in surgical skills are paramount to defining the Otologic surgeon or the ENT who is engaged in treating those with surgical ear disease. For this reason, CBM from Germany and Divino Nino Jesus Foundation from Peru partnered with Global ENT Outreach in designing and developing a Temporal Bone Lab and Ear Clinic in Lima, Peru, located in the Opthomology Clinic of Divino Nino Jesus Foundation.
The six station temporal bone lab was completed in 2008 for teaching purposes and has state of the art equipment, thanks to donations from Karl Storz, Kurz, Zeiss, Invacare, Nouvag Surgical, and Medtronics. Dissection courses are offered three times a year and the course runs for a period of four days, including lectures, live surgery, and 12 hours of drilling in the temporal bone lab. Conveniently located next to the lab are two operating theaters where live surgery is performed.
Course participants are taught the basics of ear surgery, including underlay and overlay techniques of tympanoplasty, canal wall up and down mastoidectomy, ossiculoplasty, canalplasty, and other techniques mandatory for performing safe and successful ear surgery.
The course is open to ENT physicians and residents from all countries. Participants from Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, and El Salvador have attended past courses. Customarily, a visiting guest ENT from overseas participates in teaching the course and shares their experience both in the operating theater and the laboratory.
For those of you interested in attending the course please feel free to contact Lucretia from Divino Nino Foundation @ mariajulia@divinoninoperu.org
