And many more fascinating reports, revolving around extremely practical topics....

Numerous outstanding reports - Opening new avenues in the treatment of nasal and sinus diseases.

One of the key focuses of the conference is the presentation of new reports on nasal and sinus pathology, with many practical contents addressing current challenges in diagnosis and treatment. Experts will delve into the analysis of dangerous complications such as: nasal and sinus cancer, invasive sinus fungus, chronic rhinosinusitis with polyps, cerebrospinal fluid leakage, meningitis, or periorbital soft tissue infections. These are complications that can cause serious damage if not treated promptly. The conference will also provide updates on modern diagnostic imaging techniques, from MRI and CT to advanced nasal and sinus endoscopy methods, helping doctors accurately determine the extent of damage.

In addition, new treatment guidelines will be introduced, offering comprehensive solutions ranging from controlling inflammation with medication and non-invasive therapies to endoscopic sinus surgery, especially in addressing hard-to-reach areas such as the frontal and sphenoid sinuses. Modern surgical techniques not only minimize complications but also shorten recovery time for patients. These reports will serve as a guide, helping doctors make optimal treatment decisions, reduce the risk of recurrence, and improve the quality of life for patients.

Many important topics were presented at the conference.

Important guidelines for head and neck cancer surgery.

Head and neck tumors not only affect health but are also closely related to aesthetics. Previously, surgery prioritized the complete removal of the tumor, paying little attention to preserving vital functions such as speech, swallowing, and breathing. However, this conference will present new techniques that ensure complete removal of the lesion while preserving function and maintaining the patient's aesthetic appearance.

One notable report was by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Le Minh Ky - Vice President and General Secretary of the Hanoi and Northern Provinces ENT Society, focusing on partial laryngectomy with epiglottis reconstruction in laryngeal cancer. This method not only removes cancerous cells but also preserves laryngeal function such as natural breathing and speech, providing practical benefits in improving the quality of life for patients after surgery.

Dr. Nguyen Xuan Quang, Head of the Department of Otolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery at Hong Ngoc Phuc Truong Minh Hospital, presented a report on endoscopic thyroidectomy via the oral vestibule – a breakthrough in thyroid surgery. This technique not only completely removes the tumor but also ensures no scarring, which is particularly important for maintaining aesthetics. The report emphasized the advantages of this technique and provided a preliminary assessment of the surgical results after nearly two years of implementation at Hong Ngoc Hospital.

In addition, Dr. Karan Kapoor will share advancements in central lymph node management and how to evaluate ultrasound results after surgery for highly differentiated thyroid cancer.

These reports provide crucial guidance, paving the way for safer and more effective treatment options for patients.

The conference brought together leading experts from both the country and internationally.

This conference once again marks an important milestone in Hong Ngoc Hospital's international cooperation, affirming the pioneering role of a private hospital that always leads in training, international cooperation, continuously updating new advancements, improving professional skills, and effectively treating difficult cases. In particular, Hong Ngoc always proactively collaborates closely with reputable domestic and international organizations such as: the Hanoi and Northern Provinces ENT Society, the Facing The World charity organization, etc.

Focusing on pressing and practical topics, the conference promises to bring about significant advancements in diagnosis, treatment, and surgery, enabling doctors to effectively apply this knowledge to their practice. This is not only an opportunity to share knowledge, but also a chance to enhance professional skills, access new technologies, and contribute to improving the quality of public healthcare.
