Ozan Tüysüz
Dr. Ozan Tüysüz is an otorhinolaryngologist currently practicing at Başakşehir Çam and Sakura City Hospital, University of Health Sciences, in Istanbul, Türkiye. He graduated from Akdeniz University Faculty of Medicine and completed his residency training in Otorhinolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery at Istanbul Medeniyet University, Göztepe Training and Research Hospital.
His main clinical and academic interests include facial plastic and reconstructive surgery, facial rejuvenation and facelift surgery, laryngology, and head and neck surgery. In his clinical practice, he is particularly interested in contemporary facial plastic surgery techniques and the surgical management of functional and aesthetic disorders of the face and neck. His academic work also focuses on laryngology, voice and swallowing disorders, and head and neck diseases.
Dr. Tüysüz is actively involved in national professional organizations and scientific activities within the field of otorhinolaryngology. He is a member of the Turkish Society of Otorhinolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, the Facial Plastic Surgery Association, the Phoniatrics Association, and the Voice and Swallowing Disorders Association. Through his clinical practice and academic activities, he continues to contribute to the fields of facial plastic surgery, laryngology, and head and neck surgery, with a particular interest in integrating current surgical techniques and evidence-based approaches into patient care.

Background
subglottic stenosis (SGS) of uncertain aetiology including idiopathic SGS (isgs) and vasculitis-associated SGS (vsgs, classically granulomatosis with polyangiitis)—remains a therapeutic challenge. Restenosis commonly follows office based interventions, operating room (OR) procedures, and open neck surgery, yet definitive treatment guidelines are still lacking.
objective
compare long-term outcomes of office based, OR treatment and open neck procedures in uncertain-etiology SGS and use those data to craft a pragmatic flow chart that standardises work-up, treatment decision making.
description
a retrospective institutional cohort of patients with idiopathic or vasculitic subglottic stenosis (SGS) will be analysed. Outcomes will include decannulation rate, number of operative and office-based interventions, complication rate and management.
outcomes
among 200 patients undergoing CTR, 15 had idiopathic SGS (all female) and 5 vasculitis SGS with a 100% decannulation rate. Postoperative issues included granulomas (n=6) managed with oral corticosteroids in 3 cases, and additional interventions—radial incision with intralesional corticosteroids, SILSI in others), and 1 case of restenosis managed with radial incision and keel placement. In the endoscopic group (n=24), 19 had isgs (18 female, 1 male) and 2 vsgs (all female) undergoing a total of 33 OR procedures (including radial incisions, balloon dilatation, steroid injection, and synechia lysis. Three patients received t-tube placement and one required keel) and 5 office-based steroid injections (SILSI). Based on these findings, we will propose a structured, evidence-informed flow chart to guide clinical decision-making in the management of SGS.
Description: this instructional course will provide a comprehensive and practical fr1. Amework for enhancing patient outcomes in office-based laryngology procedures. With advancements in imaging, instrumentation, and minimally invasive techniques, the outpatient setting has become a viable and effective environment for managing a wide range of laryngeal conditions. Through case-based learning, and a review of the latest evidence, participants will gain insight into optimizing patient selection, procedural planning, anesthetic techniques, complication management, and post-procedure care.
outcome objectives: by the end of this course, participants will be able to:
identify appropriate indications and contraindications for office-based laryngeal procedures.
apply best practices for patient preparation, in-office anesthesia, and procedural execution.
anticipate and manage potential complications to ensure safety and comfort.
evaluate outcomes and implement strategies for follow-up and quality improvement.
integrate new technologies and evidence-based approaches into clinical practice.
background: the shift toward in-office laryngeal procedures has transformed the field of laryngology, offering patients faster recovery, reduced costs, and improved access to care. However, variability in techniques, equipment, and experience can affect outcomes. This course addresses the growing need for standardization and optimization in office-based laryngologic care. It will offer a structured approach to achieving safe, effective, and patient-centered outcomes.
