We are happy to announce the next courses which will be delivered in Bordeaux in English language : The traditional Otologic English course which will be on its 48th edition and the 2nd English training course in Functional and Radical Sinus Surgery (FESS). 

The microsurgical course on Temporal bone dissection will have some temporal bone lab dissection every day with all the material available for a nice dissection. This dissection lab will be supervised by the organising staff with the help of two Professors coming from Bath, Dr Richard Canter and Dr Annette Jardine. 

Some lectures will be interposed with the temporal bone sessions. During the morning, the delegates will have the opportunity to follow live surgeries. There are two options in this course : the first one is middle ear surgical course during the whole week, the second one is middle ear surgical course until Thursday and after Friday and Saturday is devoted to otoneurosurgery. 

This year we have the honour to welcome Prof. Michel Gersdorff from Brussels who will deliver lectures on two subjects. He is a well-known otologist, recognised not only in Belgium but also overseas, he is invited in numerous meetings and congresses and all together we will be very happy to welcome him as he was one of the former International President of the G. Portmann Institute.. 

The second course on Functional and Radical Sinus Surgery (FESS) is a two-day course which has endoscopic dissection and all participants have a half-head for their practice and all the instrumentations necessary for the dissection. The course is performed under the direction of Professor Dominique STOLL and Docteur Philippe BOUDARD, with the help of Dr Robert SLACK from Bath and who is a well-known rhinologist. In between the anatomical dissection sessions, lectures, videos and unformal discussions will take place and everybody will find answers and explanations on the subject. 

We are looking forward to seeing you in Bordeaux during these manifestations.
