Abstract
Program Description:
There are significant technological advances occurring in different otolaryngology subspecialties. In addition, there are many opportunities for cross-pollenization of ideas to envision novel ways to use these technologies. In this miniseminar, the participant will learn about novel technologies being applied in a selected number of technology-heavy areas of otolaryngology. The panel and audience will engage in an interactive discussion about the different technologies and where else these could be employed or changed to solve other clinical problems. Topics include intraoperative computed tomography advances, vascular injury and control, frontiers in robotic surgery, computer-assisted surgery, middle ear gels, 3-dimensional printing, and biomaterials.
Educational Objectives:
(1) Discuss new technologies being applied in different fields within otolaryngology. (2) Review where these technologies have inherent strengths and limits in their current application. (3) Synthesize new and unique applications for these technologies in otolaryngology.
