09-12, 08:30–09:00 (Europe/Istanbul), Laryngology 1
DESCRIPTION: Injection laryngoplasty is a technically demanding procedure requiring precise localization of the injection needle as well as knowledge of the vocal fold anatomy. We present a novel instructional model that combines light-guided visualization with a 3D-printed laryngeal framework using inexpensive materials. This model allows learners to practice injection techniques in a low-risk setting, with real-time feedback through direct visualization
OUTCOME OBJECTIVES: By the end of this lecture, attendeses should be able to:
A. Identify key laryngeal landmarks relevant to injection laryngoplasty
B. Know what materials are needed to build their own injection laryngoplasty trainer
C. Learn how to create a 3D printed laryngeal model
D. Utilize light-guidance to enhance needle placement accuracy
BACKGROUND
1. Dr. William L. Lim, Laryngologist, Former Dept. Head, St. Luke’s Medical Center BGC, Philippines
2. Dr. Wang Chen-Chi, Fellowship Director, Taichung Veterans General Hospital, Taiwan
3.Dr. Baek Seung-Kuk, Fellowship Director, Korea University Medical Center, Korea
4.Dr. Jeong Kwang-Yoon, Head and Neck Surgeon, Korea University Medical Center, Korea
5. Dr. Ronaldo Soriano, Voice Center Head, St. Luke’s Medical Center, Philippines
In the Philippines (and Asia, in general), we do not have any formal laryngology fellowship training program. As such, there is some difficulty in learning about niche laryngeal procedures, and even more challenging is figuring out how to teach to our trainees and other general ENT practitioners. Through this lecture / demonstration, we hope to be able to present a low-risk, cost-effective, and intuitive way by which injection laryngoplasty may be taught.
I am Dr. Myron Jeffrey Uy, a practicing otolaryngologist and head and neck cancer surgeron in the Philippines.
