Nihal Seden Boyoğlu
I graduated from medical school in 2005, completed my specialization training between 2007 and 2012, and became an ENT specialist. In 2015, I started working as a chief resident at a training and research hospital. I received my associate professorship title in 2023. Since 2024, I have been working as a faculty member at Yeditepe University Faculty of Medicine. My areas of interest are particularly head and neck cancer surgery, sialendoscopy, salivary gland surgery, and thyroid-parathyroid surgery.
Sessions
The cervico-mediastinal junction (i.E. «thoracic inlet») is a virtual plane separating the neck from the thorax, delimited anteriorly by the sternal manubrium, posteriorly by the prevertebral plane at the 7th CV – 1st DV level, laterally by the first rib.
this region is often interested by various but important pathological entities, which often need a surgical treatment. Cervico-mediastinal junction surgery shows delicate intrinsic problems, which requires a particular prudence and a great surgical experience.
this instructional course is aimed to describe anatomical, clinical and surgical features about the topic, as much as some important problems which could be met by the surgeon and practical tricks to avoid them.
